We've all heard the saying. I can see you rolling your eyeballs at it right now. Isn't it one of the most recognized and repeated sayings of all time? But, what if...
What if life dumps such a big pile of lemons on you, a mountain of lemons really, that you are required to dig out from under all of those lemons before you can even begin to think about what to do with them? Trapped under a pile of lemons before the whisper of an idea can even form to make them into something as tasty as lemonade.
And what if they aren't lemons at all, but limes instead? When life gives you limes? Make limeade? Is turning limes into limeade nearly as inspired as turning lemons into lemonade? Lemons are bigger than limes (typically) so does that make it harder work, and therefore more rewarding, to alter the state of lemons than the state of limes?
I'm fairly certain though that life tends to drop a mixed bag of fruits on you, not just lemons or limes. There are probably some oranges, apples, cherries, pineapples (those are the big lumps that you take), kiwi, strawberries, and oh so many more fruits (probably a few veggies too) that you will encounter during the journey of life.
Perhaps the saying should be: When life gives you fruit, make fruit punch!
