For long term career related desires- Translate them into intentions. You know that you have translated them into intentions when you are not thinking about them and working on them too much, when you are not too much stressed, when failure is also fine, uncertainty is not bothering you, when you find interest in Meditation twice daily and listening to wisdom daily and seldom compromise them.
Desires that cannot be fulfilled- Wait for some time, few months, or few years. Eventually you realize that you are actually more happy and free that they did not get fulfilled. The pain of non fulfillment, that unpleasantness in the mind and body was actually temporary. It went away after some weeks, months or years when you realized that great it didn't happened, there was actually nothing special in it.
Cravings- Moderation, Meditation, Prayers, Good Company.
