When
life gives you lemons, make lemonade. And
what if the lemons are all dried up? What if you squeeze and squeeze and
squeeze more but no juice comes out? What then? Should you just sit back and
keep collecting the lemons or should you let life throw more and try each one
of them with the hope that at least one will give some juice? Or should you
wait for life to get tired of pestering you and find a new target?
Problems
will come. And you have to face them. There is no way out. The manner in which
you face them is left to you. You can battle them with your armor on or get tortured
and beg for mercy. You can be brave and help others as well or be tame and keep
hiding. But life would not be impressed
by your valor, it would still keep whipping you with all its might. And all you
could do is bear the thrashing or catch hold of the whip and strike back.
To
see the long and short of it, life will throw innumerable lemons or for that
matter rotten eggs as well and you can either dodge them or put them to good
use. Because you do not have an option to choose , you do not get to choose your
problems , the timing of your problems or the intensity of your problems. So all
you can do is stand upright against them and face them like a strong rigid
wall. And if life got so overconfident as to give you a follow on like the once
mighty Australians gave the Indians, you could still fight and beat them with your
centuries and double centuries. So much so that it would have to think twice
before giving you another follow on for a long long time. The only way out is
to stay strong, have self belief and faith in yourself to come out of the big
mess you are in. Come on, after all you have to start somewhere even when you start cleaning
your room. You need to be calm and
composed and focused because to come out
of the cage life has pushed you in before getting eaten up.
Its
all about self belief, courage and willingness to do something for yourself.
For it is you and only you who can make your days bright or your nights gloomy.
It is you who decide how to lead your life. Taking the whipping or thrashing
back. Coming out untouched or bruised. Fighting your case or having no defense.
It is you who have to throw all the problems coming running towards you out of
the ring and emerge the winner of the royal rumble organized by life.
Life is a mighty force. Cruel and unforgiving.
To come out against it is like clearing
six backlogs in one go. Difficult but not impossible. No assured results but all you can do is try.
