I totally do not agree the ability for you to fall due to discouragement is a personal issue because I think many people are in this category yet still have good output.

I totally agree with it. Because if you allow them in your life you won't achieve anything in life.

I agree. Our surroundings affect the process of our dreams. We must not get distracted from them and should pursue it with straight mind.

I totally agree. Discouragement and distraction does not only come from people. We can be a source of discouragement to ourselves. Most times when we procrastinate, we tend to distract ourselves too.

I agree discouragement and distraction are production killers. When you get distracted by things happening around you, and you also get discouraged, it kills productivity.

I fully agree with you. The level at which people stay stagnant sometimes is all because of discouragement from friends and family.

Yes, I agree with the author on this. The road to success is such that one should journey without distractions and with good habits. So I agree that discouragement and distractions are production killers.

I agree with the statement. The phrase, a wheel in motion stays in motion, is a good way to relate to the meaning in chapter 21. If you have good habits and a healthy mindset you are more likely to accomplish more. You are less likely to allow something to stop you. I think if it like a wheel in motion picks up speed. The obstacles can either be walls are speed bumps. The faster the wheel goes, the more the obstacles are like speed bumps.

Hands down, discouragement is counter productive. But I feel sometimes distractions are necessary to refocus and have a chance to re-prioritize everything.

I'm in line with this view for one to reach their peak. They must learn to starve their distractions and feed their goals. And I think discouragement comes from not doing the right things and seeing bad outcomes; one must understand and learn the entire process.

Yes, I totally agree with the author's point. Progress is something that is achieved gradually. It takes a while to get rid of bad habits. The most important step is the next one.

I agree that discouraging ourselves or having someone around us who discourages us or distracts us can definitely kill our dreams or set us off track.

I agree. Distraction and discouragement only stops you from taking the bold step. It prevents you from discovering and executing your dreams.

I totally agree everyone who has pursed a dream can relate to it. I think the best way to beat it is to be disciplined and have a very positive mindset.
