Overcoming Discouragement: The Secret to Staying Motivated

[@seancroley]

Mornin' Tom I believe that God created me (4W5) with a strong sense of resiliency. I have heard him whisper that to me many times when I was at my weakest. So here's the rub… What do you do when your understanding of resiliency involves daily putting on the full armour of God in order to stand strong on every level against the attacks of the enemy but in that stance, you realize the weight of all this armour is slowly wearing you down to the point where you find yourself laying on the ground feebly holding up your shield to soften the enemies blows but there is no reprieve… James one:2 is my favourite verse and I understand itcontextually. I understand there is a blessing on the other side of the beating but when you are at your wits end with things and find yourself in the dark night of the soul, what do you do then ? As CS Lewis lamented… But go to Him when your need is desperate, when all other help is vain, and what do you find? A door slammed in your face, and a sound of bolting and double bolting on the inside. After that, silence.

Hi Tom I met a few ISTJs that were 4w5 it totally caught me off guard because they looked like an Enneagram 1 but apparently when they are healthy they look like a 1
