In life, we’re all often put into situations that we don’t always feel that comfortable in. Some will be worse than others, some more serious, but either way, and it’s important to recognize that although you may be in a position you’re not happy with, life still gives you lemons.
When you’re in a tough situation that you don’t like, or don’t feel comfortable in, you can flip it and make it into something much more rewarding. Sometimes, it’s all too easy to look at the negative, when really, we should be doing all we can to turn something tough into something sweet.
When You Forget An Appointment
If you’re really busy, or feel like you don’t have time to mess up, you can often feel like forgetting an appointment is the end of the world. But it doesn’t have to be. Forgetting an appointment can put you behind and put other people out, but it can also teach you a valuable life lesson. Although you may want to have peace of mind knowing that it won’t happen again, you’ll also learn to be a bit more organized and improve your scheduling systems.
When You Fail A Test
You don’t have to be in college to fail a test. Sometimes, as adults, we take online courses, have to study for our careers or decide to learn something new to benefit our prospects. When that’s the case, you can often find that you’re taking tests again, just like when you were in school. Failing a test never gets easier. But, when you do fail, you will learn more about your abilities and discover exactly what it s that you need to focus on.
Being The Designated Driver
Sometimes, being the designated driver can suck. If you’re heading out to dinner or a party with your other half or your friends, before long, it will be your turn to drive again. But, being the driver has its blessings. By not drinking, you can have more meaningful conversations, meet new people, and ensure that you don’t get a DUI (and need to hire DWI lawyers from Scheiner Law Group) by drinking and driving.
Losing Money
There are many reasons for why you could lose money, but it can be a pain all the same. Say you lose your wallet or put a lot of money into a big purchase that doesn’t work out; you can feel stressed, angry and frustrated. But, you don’t have to. You could work on using your lemons but assessing where you went wrong, retracing your steps, and putting steps in place to ensure that it doesn’t happen again.
When The In-Laws Come Over
Not everyone gets along with their in-laws, unfortunately. When your in-laws visit, it can also be a tough experience, but you can easily flip it into an enjoyable and beneficial experience. With family in town, you can often have access to a free babysitter that you trust and have an extra helping hand around the house.
Natalie says
I used to get very stressed over losing money, but it is important to learn from my mistakes and move on instead of dwelling on it.
Julie Wood says
A lot of my tough situations revolve around other’s and their problems that effect my life. I seem to be a helper and want to help others, but I can not solve and be the savior to these people. They need to solve a lot of their problems and I let them know now, that I can not do everything for them.
