Poetry On Odyssey: When Life Gives You Lemons…
Because come on, you know you can.
Life is a such a precious gift.
We all have those days where things just don't seem to go right. Chances are we may have experienced these days more than we would like.
And that is okay.
We are allowed to get down on ourselves and our lives from time to time. But we must remember that we were brought into this world for a reason: to make a difference, to learn from our mistakes, and to enjoy.
When times get tough, breathe. We are often challenged with situations because even though we think we cannot handle it, we can. We need to be tested and faced with these problems to make ourselves realize we are stronger and better than we think.
If life always went our way, sure it would be nice, but it would not be exciting, and you wouldn't learn anything.
Everything would be given to you. Life would be easy.
Sure, who would not want an easy life where everything just made sense.
But where is the fun in that?
We are constantly challenged every day because we are stronger than we think and better than we seem.
We can handle it!
You are allowed to get upset and to cry. LET IT OUT SISTA!
When life gets you down take a breath and close your eyes. You can do it. You know you can do it. I know you can do it.
Call up a friend, call up your family—they will tell you the same. YOU CAN DO IT. YOU JUST NEED TO BELIEVE IT!
Like the cliché quote, "When life gives you lemons make lemonade." Make that lemonade girl and make sure it tastes sweet!
Make a bad situation into a good one. Smile and say to yourself, I can f***ing do it!
Because come on, you know you can.
