Lemons or Strawberries?
The saying goes "when life gives you lemons make lemonade." But, how satisfying would that be? Instead, why not strive for something a little more exotic? How about strawberries or blueberries? They may be out of your reach but you may just get lucky. No harm in stretching and striving for something which is beyond your reach. There is at least some excitement in that.
Be a gainer
What's the fun in achieving something which is well within your control? Not much fun really. There is a possibility that in trying to push your boundaries you may face defeats but there is solace in that too. It just makes you believe in yourself another time. Isn't that belief precious? And, you continue to strive until you succeed.
The results
At times, the outcome of efforts can be much beyond what we expect. And, that's when life takes you by a surprise. And it's true you may just end up wondering was it meant to happen or is it a positive outcome of the endeavours.
And, before you know you may be drinking a strawberry shake or a blueberry delight instead of a lemonade. Sounds fun right :)
