Thanks! I needed this!
I signed a contract a year ago after 6 months of preliminaries to do a project and have done it well. New leadership comes on board and wants to reinvent the project into something completely different than what the original contract called for. I felt very discouraged for the time and effort wasted.
I feel better after reading this. Glad I made sure that original contract specifies if I leave my work goes with me. Though I’m still sad for what won’t be, I’m suddenly excited about the possibilities opening up for using the work myself.

Hi Scott,

Life takes courage!

Great blog. I come from an environment where I have lived with discouragment all of my life.

I am tired of feeling tired, I am tired of feeling worthless, I am tired of feeling bad and feeling down, I am tired of having negative feelings about myself, and I am tired of just going throught the motions.

Thank you for touching upon a plan of attack. Thank you for the encouragment.

I have a new way of looking at courage and living my life everyday!

Thanks. I was feeling discouraged as a teacher, having a not too successful day. My students went to lunch, I typed in the word discouraged and this came up. Synchronicity. Good thoughts here!
