An Important thing to realize is that it doesn't make any difference how much difficulty there is - there are always great possibilities in any situation.
Generally, when people are disheartened, they can't see the possibilities. They see only the difficulties that are involved, not the solution. They magnify the difficulties, to blow them up, to make them bigger than they actually are.
The thing to do when you are disheartened is the very opposite: go hunting around in your situation for the bright possibilities that are surely there.
