If Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade!

 

Only a handful out of everyone is born either as a genius OR as a gifted artist OR a scion of the moguls.  On the same breadth, some are born with the potentials to be intellectually upright WHEREAS some are skilled enough like the blue-collar workers and handyman WHO can fix the wear and tear of various house accessories.  Oh YES, even at the workplace, let's be fair and realistic.  Not everyone can be tagged as part of the 'cream of the crop' OR a high flyer at that.  BUT you might throw back a challenge on me and ask, WHAT do we do with the cellar-dwellers, those WHO are on the lower-rung of the rat race we are all in?  Just like in those competitive sports, the lower performers are NOT disqualified OR made ineligible.  Instead, we all observe a level playing field and IF LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS, MAKE LEMONADE [out of it]!!!

Thing is, we can train our minds to always look at the things we do have, our blessings, our gifts and our abilities to make the most of our life.  True, everyone has a different idea of purpose and fulfillment.  Some would attach and peg it to their personal achievements, some to being well-rounded parents OR individuals and some even to their romantic relationships.  A lot of us also measure our milestones in terms of the miles and distance we have reached in our creative pursuits.  Then, there is the other type, those WHO belong to moments, NOT milestones❎❎❎

YES, I guess we can reach a common ground here if I opine that we can say there is NO right OR wrong WAY to approaching life and WHATEVER keeps us motivated to take every day in our stride is quite good enough.  YES indeed, we are all chasing something that may seem elusive WHICH we think will make us happier, better, richer, and so on.  That is the very act of living life, for us to keep going NO matter WHAT.  YET, somehow sometimes, we refrain OR procrastinate from taking the next step💥💥💥

In the end, many times we tend to end up focusing on the resources we do NOT have at our disposal [and that's regrettable].  A typical scenario here is we find our own self in a job that we DON'T really particularly enjoy BUT you just CAN'T leave it for pecuniary considerations OR otherwise.  So, the question is, do we just plunge into hopelessness around your career?  Of course NO.  You find the little things in the job that you can agree with and start from there😊😊😊

Our takeaway:  HAPPINESS itself is really NOT that elusive.  It could be just a phone call to your mom OR dad away.  Truly, before plunging into WHAT you do NOT have, we got to learn to see the world we have created in all its glory and access the best of it.  And gratitude is a powerful virtue to have, especially WHEN we want to steer our mind and heart towards positivity.   YES dude, IF LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS, MAKE LEMONADE out of it and be happy enough💚💛💜
