Turning Around a Desperate Situation

Faya, the Shape of Willpower, understood better than anyone that sometimes it is easier to be in a desperate situation in order to turn it around.

Does it sound a bit strange to you?

“Usually, when everything is fine, we have many options to choose from. And the more choices we have, the more difficult it becomes to make a decision,” said Faya.

“But when it comes to desperate situations, the choices naturally narrow, and you still need to decide. Instead of ruminating over your thoughts about the correct one, you actually take action!” she continued.

“This is why it is sometimes easier when facing situations that seem hopeless. When you no longer have endless choices, the only thing left to do is act to solve the issue.”

Our inner fire gains momentum when we take action rather than just thinking about taking it.

“Even if it’s not perfect, sometimes it’s better to try our best and do something rather than simply let it go.”
