Be very careful when using a Wedge… but your point is extremely valid.

There is an old-time fable that the devil once held a sale and offered all the tools of his trade to anyone who would pay their price. They were spread out on the table, each one labeled—hatred, and malice, and envy, and despair, and sickness, and sensuality - all the weapons that everyone knows so well.
But off on one side, apart from the rest, lay a harmless looking, wedge-shaped instrument marked “Discouragement.” It was old and worn looking, but it was priced far above all the rest. When asked the reason why, the devil replied: “Because I can use this one so much more easily than the others. No one knows that it belongs to me, so with it I can open doors that are tight bolted against the others. Once I get inside I can use any tool that suits me best.” No one ever knows how small is the margin between failure and success. Frequently the two are separated only by the width of that one word discouragement. Ask Ford, ask Edison,ask any successful man and he will tell you how narrow is the chasm that separates failure from success, how surely it can be bridged by perseverance and faith.Cultivate confidence in yourself. Cultivate the feeling that you ARE succeeding. Know that you have unlimited power to do every right thing. Know that with Universal Mind to draw upon, no position is too difficult, and no problem too hard.“He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do.”When you put limitations upon yourself, when you doubt your ability to meet any situation, you are placing a limit upon Universal Mind, for“The Father that is within me, He doeth the works.”
