When life gives you lemons you make lemonade… you don’t complain about not having enough oranges, or apples, or bananas, or any other fruit for that matter. You savor the lemons you’ve been given because the next person may not have any. Make the best of what you’ve been given and consciously choose to every day focus on what you do have instead of what what you don’t. This is what I’ve learned the past few months. No matter how hard it gets, gratefulness will be your savior. Gratefulness is the force that keeps your head up and eyes looking forward. Gratefulness is hope for a better tomorrow.
There will always be something to be grateful for. No matter where you are in life or what you feel life has taken from you, you can always decide to focus on what you do have. And if nothing else, you have this moment. This breath. This day.
“Circumstances do not make a man, they reveal him.”
I believe my dad has always had this strength inside of him but has not had enough reason to use it. This experience was God revealing how much my dad is really capable of and how far reaching his potential is.
