Action is the antidote to despair. ~Joan Baez
If we want to keep despair with us, then we do nothing about the situation. If we don’t want to keep despair with us, then we must act with a plan in mind. Action feeds our hope, while sitting idle feeds our disparity. If we act, then we have a greater possibility to change our situation. When we develop a strategy, our focus will be more on what action to take next to lead to a satisfying outcome. Despair can be debilitating because it takes away our hopes and dreams. Our hopes and dreams can brighten our attitude. A positive attitude goes a long way in restoring back our faith in ourselves.

You really hit a nerve with your short post. As a long-time Alzheimer’s caregiver, I can’t tell you how many times I sat in support groups and heard people talk about their problems, but never be open to any changes or solutions. Each of us is responsible for moving our lives forward and not stay stuck in the muck! Thank you for sharing.
