When life hands you a lemon, make lemonade.
It's one of the best cliches. Trite? Of course. An eye-roller when someone says it during a talk in church? Definitely. Wise? Absolutely.
I believe in making lemons out of lemonade. The therapists call it cognitive restructuring. I call it living life in a way so you don't want to bang your head against the wall.
You know, few people bring up the fact that you need sugar in addition to lemons to make lemonade. It would be an interesting exercise to take time and think about the "sugar" in your life that lets you "make lemonade when life gives you lemons."
