This is a saying we're all too familiar with. Life has more downs than ups. We survive more than we live. We get by more than we thrive. Most of our days are rainy and cold.
This, however, doesn't have to be our reality. Life is depressing enough as it is. We shouldn't add to the frustrations by failing to uplift ourselves from the pits of disappear we normally find ourselves in.
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
This is another saying we are familiar with and I happen to like this one. I read a post today by @keciah today and it captured a code I live by; You can't control how others act but you can control how you react to their actions. The mistakes we tend to make are to loose, or relinquish rather, our power to others or to circumstances. We let ourselves be dictated in our very lives by allowing situations to get the better of us.
Should we choose to ignore the negative and actually look for the positive in a dire situation, it is then we will overcome major obstacles and actually actualise our full potential. There's always opportunity in adversity. Ours is to find it and capitalise on it to benefit our needs; making lemonade out of lemons.
It will always rain in our lives but we can choose to interpret the rain in a different way. Instead of seeing it as gloomy, why not see it as heavenly showers that it is, blessings. As it pours, rather than hiding ourselves in our blankets, let's step outside and dance in the rain. Oh and it's so much more fulfilling to dance with your better half during the showers.
Life is tough, life is easy; life is bitter, life is sweet; life is a challenge, life is triumph; life is hell, life is bliss... It is what you make of it. choose which you want wisely so that whenever you're having a rainy day, you'd DANCE IN THE RAIN.
