A thought about discouragement

Without sounding negative, I’ve been contemplating discouragement. Not because I’m discouraged at this moment, but because I’ve often been discouraged. When I’m experiencing a bout of discouragement it not only hurts but it seems as though I’m wasting time. It’s like it saps my creativity, or at the very least my productivity. So, why was discouragement invented? What is its purpose?
I’ve noticed that I always pull myself out of discouragement. Indeed, I know with a certainty that I will move away from every episode. However, that in itself isn’t enough for me to escape its grasp. There comes a time when I’m tired of the discouragement. Yep, I become discouraged with discouragement. Then, and only then can I move away from it. When that decision is made, the transformation easily occurs. Thats good news, but how can I eliminate or shorten the episode?
I think I have an answer. However, I’m really interested in your thoughts. I have a tendency to either simplify or over structure things a bit too much. I’m hoping that with your input, we can create the perfect anti-discouragement sound byte. (Or, perhaps a sound paragraph is more realistic.)
It seems to me that discouragement accomplishes two things; It forces me to stop a project when it isn’t turning out the way I wanted. And, it gives me a chance to become righteously indignant. The righteous indignation part is another thought for later thought in a separate thought page. Discouragement stops me from pursuing an unproductive path and brings the old ego into visibility. In other words, it puts things on hold so I can take a look at an ego-centered perspective that isn’t working. All that need to be done is invert the discouragement with a positive affirmation. Here is mine...

I pause to release all old concepts that no longer work for me.
I fill that release with pure creative energy.
I move forward to a new goal with new timing.
So be it.

Well, thats it. What do you think?
