We have all heard the saying, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” But what if those lemons are sour? or they aren’t the right yellow? or they give off an outrageous oder? What if they aren’t even lemons?
Thats the unfortunate thing about the comparison of lemons to life, life doesn’t always give you the perfect lemon to make your lemonade. Sometimes life gives you the ugliest, smelliest, softest discoloured lemon you could have asked for. But you know what you do? You still try to make that perfect lemonade despite the poor lemon life handed you. You find other ways to work around the lemon, utilizing it to the best of it’s abilities despite your mentally behind it being the shittiest lemon you’ve ever seen.
So where am I going with this lemon?
Similar to the lemon, life is going to hand you many things on many different platters. There are going to be days where you love those platters, like those platters, and all around hate those platters. But the difference with life and lemons is that you can’t throw away an opportunity, lesson, or experience away as easily as you can replace a rotten lemon.
Instead of throwing it away, you completely squeeze that lemon dry of anything and everything it has to offer to your lemonade. Because you will always get something out of nothing if you intend on never wasting the possibilities any lemon, platter, or situation life offers to you. And we all know that some lemonade is better then no lemonade.
