Action is the antidote to despair. ~ Joan Baez
We have more control over ourselves than anything external. If it’s something external that is affecting us, then we can do something about it. First, we can change our attitude about the situation by looking for something positive. Second, if it is possible to change the situation that is affecting us, then we can take action. Thirdly, if it isn’t possible to change the situation, then we can remove ourselves from the situation. We don’t have to feel despair if we take a proactive stand. Being proactive decreases the feeling of despair.
