Saying: When life gives you lemons, make lemonade
Today is Thursday, the beginning of my workweek.
I want to start on the positive side of things, and that’s why I’ve chosen the expression when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
In life, we don’t always get the things we want, and we don’t always get things that work well.
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade means to always look on the bright side.
Use what life gives you to your advantage.
We all have our particular talents and skills.
Learning to use these talents and abilities is what making lemonade is all about.
I believe that we should always look for the positive, no matter what happens.
Sometimes life gives us a lemon.
When that happens, we have a choice to make.
We can complain about it, or we can continue with what we have and do the best that we can, i.e. make lemonade.
Be as positive as you can, look for the good in every situation, and I promise you that you’ll feel much better.
And don’t forget, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
