Refuse Desperation...

It is often said that desperate times call for desperate measures. But when you’re desperate to do something, I think the best thing to do is to wait. Wait until you can transform the desperation into a more positive force.
When you make decisions out of desperation, they are often weak and ill advised. Acting out of desperation will very likely magnify and extend your desperate circumstances.

Take the time to step back from the situation and refocus. Take the time and care to change the negative energy of desperation into a compelling, positive sense of determination.
Strive to not focus on running away from the way things are, instead, put your attention and energy into creating the life you want to live. 
Remember that whatever you most intensely and consistently hold in your mind, you will manifest in your life. So refuse to dwell on negative thoughts and desperate feelings, instead strive to keep your mind filled with positive, meaningful visions.
If desperation takes hold, know that you can naturally and effectively transform that desperation. Transform it into commitment, determination and the positive actions that will make your world even better than before.
