When Life Gives you Lemons...

There are times when you have no control over what you are doing and what you should be doing. You get frustrated at small incidents that happen and wonder what the problem with you is. There are times when you feel that you have been left all alone. You get depressed and undermine yourself. What should one do when one fails to please the insatiable world, when everything seems impossible?

One should remember that every phase of life is temporary. There's nothing in this world that cannot be solved. The only person who stops you from coming out of the darkest phases is you yourself. Never let the negative thoughts overpower your positive ones. Never compare yourself with anyone else. When you compare yourself, your thoughts lead you to a way which will never give any positive results. The only way to come out of your negative thoughts and emotions is to feel good about yourself. You need to recognize the talent within you, understand what you can do best and learn from the mistakes you made. Belief and faith in oneself is the key to success. It's in the most difficult phase when your patience and will power is put to test that you should emerge stronger, not letting any obstacle to come your way. When the whole world is against you, you need to show them that 'I can do this'. 

But, anything worthwhile demands time and trouble and if we are out for spectacular achievements, we must be prepared to toil on quietly, patiently, firmly, progressing a little at a time but progressing all along. Great ends and aims cannot be achieved in haste by hectic, frantic and spasmodic efforts. People won't believe you, they might laugh and taunt; some may just ignore your talks. But you need to trust yourself in whatever you do and show the world that you are a winner. When life gives you opportunities to prove yourself, don't be scared; stand up, work hard, give all that you can and then there will be no one who can stop you from achieving anything you want in life!!!



Life is beautiful, just as roses. But it has challenges like thorns. We are born ready to chase the thrills of life with steady eyes. The chase is sometimes fast, sometimes slow. So, face the challenges and the problems and enjoy the bumpy roller-coaster ride of life....!
