6 Things to Remember When Life Gives You Lemons

 

 

Life is a series of ups and downs. There are times that we get to experience bad break moments that almost tear us apart, make us feel hopeless and alone, seems like no one’s willing to listen, everyone has their own business, nobody gives a damn about you. In that moment, you are ready to surrender and in no time give up. On the other hand, there’s a point in time that life’s giving you so much that makes you wonder what on earth you did great to deserve the astonishing things you are experiencing. You have a group of strong supportive friends and family, you get to drink 3 times of coffee a day (better if you get them for free), laughter, chocolates, sunsets, travel, wine, opportunities, big smiles and hugs, when someone says “I love you” knowing they really mean it, when everyone seems to care and extra willing to give you time and listen. Dang! Priceless!

I guess life is really a mixture of sweetness and bitterness and that shapes us to become a better person. There are joys in life too great to be described in words, and grief too hard to think about but you just need to. When you get to taste both punch, CONGRATULATIONS! You can actually say you are a human being. You got what it takes to carry through and go on.

REAL LIFE IS ACTUALLY PRETTY GREAT IF YOU TAKE TIME TO APPRECIATE IT. Sure, life may be sour, but  that’s why there is  a thing called salt to make the taste balance and make it worth trying.

Here are 6 of my personal rules of thumb to a great, positive life.

Don’t waste your time and energy to people that make you feel drained. Be wise. Share it with people who are deserving and who give it back to you in return.

Never stop dreaming. And never get in the way of someone else pursuing their dream. When you feel idealism, your life force, your energy draining, its time to move on.

Pay attention to those around you. Observe their behavior, who’s happy when you’ve achieved a milestone, who’s disappointed when you feel defeated. Take note who’s always there for you, who’s willing to spend time and make time, who keeps your little secrets and value your worth. Those are the people worth treasuring and worth giving your attention to.

Believe in law of attraction. Attract positivity. What you think is what you eventually get but of course with a sense of responsibility and hard work.

Don’t judge. You have no idea what challenges people have been going through and you’ll never understand unless you walked a mile in their shoes. A person is never weaker nor lesser just because you don’t struggle the same thing as he/she does. Learn how to be understanding and compassionate, it will come a long way.

YOU ARE NOT FAT.Don’t be fooled by the people who keeps on pulling you down and telling you are horrible because of your size. Uh-oh! Have a healthy lifestyle, exercise, run, eat green, eat sweets, eat your favorite cheesecake plus that mouth watering ice-cream you’ve been craving for couple of days ago. The last time I checked your size doesn’t determine someone’s worth. Balance is they key. So you go girl!
