When Life Gives You Lemons...

“The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.” - W. M. Lewis
It’s human nature to focus on the negative. Focusing on the negative gives us relief, gives us hope that there’s a better tomorrow. How long are we willing to wait? Everyone has a choice, a choice to live through circumstances this world throws upon us. The loss of a job, a loved one, and the knowing that your time is short. No one man’s life is perfect and the sooner we begin to understand that there is no stopping the ways of this unknown world the better.
It is those that have been placed with a challenge that prosper. It is the stories we hear of a young child paralyzed at birth that walks, or a woman missing pieces of her spine that dances. Those stories amaze us because they have faced the ultimate challenge and are living their life. However, the average person has already faced the ultimate obstacles but continues to watch others live from the sideline. We have overcome the possibility of starting life, we have survived the universe’s unexpectedness, every day we survive, but as humans are we truly living? We cannot continue to wait for the moment we watch our life pass before our eyes or wait until we know when we’ll possibly take our last breath. The time is now. I state this not for a small few or for the millions but for every living man, woman, and child, enjoy every moment that you can. Whether you believe in religion or evolution, god or nature, this life, this chance to walk the earth as our own being is a gift. Live now because no one is sure of the outcome when we leave.
Don’t wait for life to hand you lemons. Go out and grab them yourselves. Who knows maybe you’ll stumble upon an orange tree and make some sweet tasting juice. If oranges don’t fit your needs search for apple tree. Life has so many opportunities to experience and experience all the fruit in your path. Live as if you’ll die tomorrow because unfortunately one day you will.
