If Life gives you a Lemon...

The old adage never seemed truer.."if life gives you a lemon, make some lemonade..." but the chances of knowing how to make the right lemonade is very small..

Bein optimistic has never been a trait in me... every situation , that arises in front of me, I pose a dozen questions to it. So how do you make that lemonade ?

Sometimes situations crop up, and I pose questions to it. I end up playing scene by scene what could happen. My thoughts flow in a manner of a flow chart. And in doing so, I have allready created my responses and reactions to situtations that are a result of the above lemon. Now this is what gets to me at the end, because then in my little world, I want that flow chart executed. I dont stop to think, what if the flow chart I executed was just one side of the whole problem. Where do I get the sweet juice from ? In the process of putting myself in front of all these decision boxes, what would happen if I just let go and let things work out for themselves. Then probably it might work out for the better

A very close friend of mine told me when I said "I will try to be more positive from now" , "When you use the word try, you are not very close to being positive" .

Maybe I should practise my " Leaping "and Hoping that the net will appear..



I wonder if anyone else had a chance to make that lemonade?
