INSPIRATION FROM DESPERATION
HopefulMe
Desperation is the state of loosing hope or being in despair.
Most times we don't find ourselves in this situation deliberately, it is a state life decides to put us in. But we can still get an inspiration out of the desperation.
I realized that I take smart financial decisions when I am broke .
The last time I ran out of cash. I believe will be the very last time 😋 I saw myself buying only useful things unlike when I just go about buying everything I see.
One of the days, I was to buy an item I so much needed and after bargaining, the seller told me the actual price. Out of desperation, what I did was I brought out the last money I had. Some folks call it "Last card". I told him if I had extra money I would have paid. With the look on my face, the man agreed and sold to me.
Contrast to when I had money, I wouldn't even care to bargain, I'll just pay.
And the truth is if I take on this attitude, I'll save a whole lot of money.
Look into your life, you'll discover that some important steps and decisions you took in your life was when you were in desperation.
Necessity they say is the mother of all invention. When you run out of options, you tend to be more creative.
During the war, people discovered different kinds of food, weapons and drugs out of desperation and this they wouldn't have done where there isn't a pressing need or crisis.
Don't ask me how I know, I was part of the civil war 😋
And this proves a point that there's an inspiration that comes with every desperation.
So my suggestion is when you are broke like I was, or when you are stranded, in need, in trouble, in tight situations or in a very tight corner of life.
Seek inspiration from the desperation and don't give room for frustration.
It could be an avenue to create something or figure out an idea that could change your situation, your life and the world at large.
Don't just go around venting your anger on people around you.
Someone will tell you good morning and you'll reply "What's good about the morning?"
Don't walk around murmuring and blaming the society.
Look out at for how to get things done.
Find a reason to appreciate yourself even in the midst of difficulties. Because there's inspiration available for you.
Know that at the end of every battle is your victory. You are born to win!
Find your inspiration from desperation.
It's our time to shine.
