If life throws you lemons, make lemonade

I have often heard/seen of people wasting their life over impulsive decisions, only to regret them later on. Even history is replete with examples. If Bishma had not taken his historical oath a.k.a “Bhishmapratindya”, Mahabharat would have been different ball game all together. To make matters worse he declined every attempt made to reverse his destiny!

We all make mistakes or have to face awkward situations all through our life. It’s a given. However, it is up to us to get back up on the horse after being kicked on the teeth. It is indeed up to us for making best of whatever comes our way. There is no need for anyone to become a “Devdas” for his or her lost love. It is simply not worth it. Life is more precious than that to throw away for moments of impetuosity, obstinacy or even pride. Everyone deserves a second chance. Life is even willing to throw it at you; only if you are smart enough to realize that your defeat has brought you one step closer to success. This philosophy is what separates the winners from the losers.

So, if life throws you lemons make lemonade!

I will survive ...

Adversity may strike

For as long as I’m alive,

My spirit will not be broken,

I know, I will survive …

Behind the dreary rooms

People may connive,

I shall come out unscathed,

I know, I will survive …

In moments of grief,

My destiny may deprive,

I shall wipe away my tear,

I know, I will survive …

To test my endurance

Even providence may strive

I will come out stronger

I know, I will survive …
