Lemons in Life
We’ve heard different versions of “When life gives you lemons…” quotes. I even made one for myself. My version is, “When life gives you lemons, don’t squeeze them all over your wounds.”
I’m not that young anymore so I’ve had all sorts of lemons thrown at me already. In fact, I get lemons so often that through the years I have found various ways to deal with them.
The lemons (struggles) we go through give us a better attitude towards the people we encounter. When we get shoved down, disappointed or rejected by others, instead of immediately snapping back at them we try to understand where they are coming from first. We eventually become more patient with others and we learn to respect and accept the decisions they make. We try not to judge. After all, they too have their own share of lemons to take care of.
Experience has taught me that when lemons get thrown at me, it helps to ask “what for?” and make something out of those lemons instead of merely asking “why?” and just leave the lemons to rot.
