Wouldn't it be nice to map out your life and just wait for all of the pieces to simply come together exactly how you planned? We create the perfect checklist in our minds: Dream job...check, amazing partner...check, supportive family and friends...check, financial freedom...check. Well, we all know that no matter what we do, there are times when life is going to hand us some lemons. In fact, sometimes life is shooting lemons at us faster than we can even comprehend, but it is up to us to decide what we are going to do with them.
When life throws you a curve ball, what do you do? Do you sit and moan about the challenges or do you take a more proactive approach and do something about them? Some say, "when life throws you lemons, make lemonade", which is all well and good, but I say, when life throws you lemons, call some friends, make lemon meringue pie, lemon bars and maybe even some delicious cocktails and have a party! Instead of rejecting what comes your way, accept the lemons that were handed to you and create something fun out of them.
I do realize that some of the challenges we face are much harder to deal with than others, but what is fabulous is that since we are certain that we are inevitably going to deal with them, we might as well be as prepared as possible to tackle them with style and grace. When something unexpectedly occurs in your life, before you start to play victim (which is a role that each of us has played many times throughout our lives), take a step back and see how the situation can be viewed differently. See where there is opportunity to learn, grow and become a better person. In some situations this is much easier said than done, but if we maintain this kind of attitude on a regular basis, those big lemons don't hit us quite as hard as they would have.
Yes, when life gives you lemons, create a new recipe and share it with your friends.
Share Your Fabulousness with the World!
