Discouragement and distraction are production killers, agree or disagree?

Yes. I completely agree. There is nothing more discouraging than dreaming up a huge plan for success, imaging a brilliant future, and then having it squashed in one sentence by someone whose opinion you care about. Or, another scenario, if you are constantly surrounded by negative people it is hard to not be negative too. It's easier, because the gratification is faster.

You are right, it is very discouraging when you have a plan and then someone discourages you with a quick sentence. Rather they mean to or not the damage is done. It is also hard not to be negative when everyone around you is being negative as well. I think having a plan in place and remembering your why helps you to continue with your plan, regardless of what others say. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I absolutely agree with Jeff that in order to succeed, you must take certain stages and not just jump. You must be patient and follow the steps step by step till you achieve your goal. That is what allows us to be productive and focused.

I agree completely, I don’t see how we can accomplish our goals when we are not encouraged to do so. Having a good mind set will organize our thoughts into positivity. Distractions are production killers. Be with who you want to become and find a way to turn our negative into positive!!

I agree. A principle of success is persistence, and good things do take time, sometimes more than we would like. A proper mindset and life-giving habits go a long way in keeping up the persistence needed to reach our goals. Distraction and discouragement do not foster persistence.

I completely agree. Success doesn't happen overnight. Its a step-by-step process and in order to achieve that, focus, encouragement and determination are essential.

I wholeheartedly agree with this as i often find myself distracted lately from matters that I usually would've set as my priority in the past. It's especially difficult to stray away from these distractions.

I totally agree, when you set your mind to achieve something, come what may you will. But when you constantly give in to distractions or things that will deter you, from achieving the plans you made. You might end up with no plans at all.

I totally agree with this. Distraction by any means and discouragement by anyone can kill the productiveness inside you. Sometimes it happens without our knowing, for example- a person giving you advice on your dream may change the perfect mindset of yours and cause a disaster, it may have worked for them but not for you. The key is to stay focused and to believe in yourself.

I totally agree. We are going to face a lot of discouragement and distractions along our way to success. It is inevitable. We can’t stop because of those discouragement. Proper mindset is what we need to surpass those discouragement and succeed.

Actually, I agree.
When we are working towards achieving our dreams, we should stay away from every form of distractions and avoid being discouraged. These things kill the zeal and the morale in someone and one's mindset should also be correct.

Yes, taking the right steps and minimizing distractions does help with success. Discouragement and distractions are huge production and motivation killers. If we are able to figure out what our distractions are, then minimize them, it will help us. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I think we can accomplish our goals even if other people do not encourage us, we just have to have a strong will in order to do it. I think having the right mindset and organizing how you want to get things done will also help to get them done. Recognizing our distractions and intentionally minimizing them will help us to have better production as well. I do agree that we need to find a way to turn our negative mindset into a positive one. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I agree with you. We need persistence if we are going to get anywhere. Especially with all the negativity in the world and people constantly wanting to knock us down. It is important to have a proper mindset and life-giving habits, they will help us when the motivation and focus are not there. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

You are right, success does not happen overnight, or in some cases at all. We do have to take certain steps and actions to achieve it. I agree that focus, encouragement, and determination are essential. Focus and determination even more so, as there will be times that we do not have encouragement. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
