You know this old saying that it is best to make lemonade if you got a lemon? How often do we think over and over when something happens unexpectedly? Sometimes we freeze or blame circumstances, which are only circumstances, nothing more. Most importantly, our attitude to the situation which happened to us. Reaction and action to what occurred to us differ between losers and achievers.
Sitting and complaining about bad things never helps anybody. It is just a waste of time and energy. Maybe we need to wait until our emotions slow down, but after it, we need to think about how to escape this situation.
Life delivers challenges
Sometimes experience provides difficulties for us as somebody would look at how we will behave from somewhere. It is like school. You never know which ticket will be on the exam. In the famous book Greatest Discovery, Earl Nightingale wrote about one man who bought a farm where have been just sand and poisonous snakes. At first, he did not know what to do with it because no plants would survive on this open land. Anyway, Earl Nightingale decided, which made him famous and wealthy. He established a farm for snakes, sold their skin and meat, and had tourists from far away visit his place.
No time to give up
This farmer was squeezing lemons and making lemonade. If you got a lemon, you make the best of it. People who do not give up and see solutions in the worst situations are not extraordinary or superhuman beings. They just decided not to give up and were curious about how to change the case for their excellence.
The human brain has the most significant potential. Regarding Earl Nightingale, the mind is one thing that differentiates us from pigs. Still, computers cannot be at the same level as the human brain. Yes, they can calculate and make operations faster, but thinking creatively is a personal priority.
Life does deliver challenges, I do agree.
I seemed to unfortunately spiral down hill after losing my job not knowing what to do.
I decided to learn how to run my own online business from the starting grid as a newbie and what a change of work life I had to undergo.
I had some advice to set weekly and daily goals to help me accomplish my new avenue into this different lifestyle and what a difference this made to my achievements. Looking back I’m quite staggered at what I’ve achieved just by setting goals.
Hope this helps anyone going through a lifestyle change.

Hello, Simon. I am glad that you found a way to deal with your problems. You did not whine how unlucky you are. You took life in your hands and it seems that you do pretty well. It is okay to be upset for awhile but later on, we must move on. Nobody will know what is best for us, what do we like and what kind of passion is for us.
Without goals we are as the ship without captain. Goals can be adjusted during our journey through life. They are as lighthouse for us. Without goals we could not reach our dreams.
I like this old saying: when God closes one door, he opens the window. Unfortunately some of people are so concentrated on the past. They froze and can not move from the dead point.
I wish that more humans would see the world as the place for opportunities and adventure. We are responsible for our lives, nobody else.
All the best, Nemira.
