Totally amazing but guess I tried experimenting it and realized you could do more than a lemonade.
Most people even get to recite this as a poem without even knowing the actual application to reality, Oh well, I was one of those people, who casually just made use of the sentence in a conversation.
But until life gives you lemons, that exactly is when this makes a whole lot of sense.
If you are to be stuck in a job, not loving what you do, like me back then.
Not knowing how to get out of the job or out of my forever unsettled thoughts and mental battles.
I guess this is normal with most people, but unlike myself I decided to think after noticing that I was getting consolations but no solution.
I had huge lemons in front of me, not liking what I do, always worn out in the stress of doing what is not fulfilling , beginning to start hating myself and battle with so much unhappiness, all these were lemons, very bitter ones at that.
Then I tried making lemonade. A Lemonade is a drink, it helps you to stay refreshed but for a while.
So I started making my lemonade out of my lemon by trying to tell people how I felt and sharing my experience with them. I got a very refreshing experience because I lost count of the times I kept hearing, "Oh dear, that's so sad, I know how that feels" , a few went ahead to say, "you should try doing something about it" . Very amazing advises, I felt refreshed for the period and believed YES I can get through all of this.
But more often than not, when we are refreshed, it only keeps us bubbling for a while and then the issues come back again.
Sooo... I went further and decided to do something else with the Lemons life had given me and what was that?
This brings my own theory,
When life gives you lemons, extract the seeds and plant them.
Why?
Because then it has more use.
I decided to find a way out of my predicament by not just making lemonades and getting refreshed but extracting the seeds of the lemons and that was by carefully sorting out what my issue was,
Why did I not love my job? , what exactly do I want to do"? Then I started watering the seed by studying and finding out ways to achieve a better mindset and improve on that which I want to do.
Mind you, lemons leave you devastated and feeling depressed, so here was I having extracted the seeds from the lemons, I planted them and started watering them by finding my thoughts right and working towards that which I loved and in return I had a tree of fulfillment.
That tree in turn can now be of good use to people because then I can now share my experience rather than feel refreshed I give someone something to learn.
When you make a tree from your lemons, you open opportunity for people to benefit from it.
-By either selling fruits from your tree: Sharing your experiences, people learn and get to do what they love that will in turn be profitable or
-Using it as a form of shelter, share your experiences, people learn and know they are not alone and want to be the best of themselves.
By this you are making a lifelong impact with your lemons, than a for the minute refreshment.
So what exactly are you going to start doing? Make Lemons or Plant a tree? Let us here from you in the comment section below.
