(Q: How intense are your feelings of hopelessness?)
The best antidote to hopelessness is an escape plan. Finding this
plan can be a lifetime career, but as long as you are working on it, life
has meaning. Circumstances that seem to be beyond your control usually
have a hidden key where changes in your own behavior can change the
situation. Next time you are feeling hopeless put all of your energy into
creatively THINKing of some kind of experimental change you can make
which might improve the situation. Visualize the change in your mind and,
if it has some chance of working, give it a TRY. If it fails, try to
LEARN from the failure so that the next experiment may work. This method
is extremely powerful and is behind all of the major scientific
discoveries of our age. Apply it to your life and you can beat
hopelessness.
