We all know the old saying, “when life gives you lemons make lemonade“. Wouldn’t it be nice if it were all that easy? The truth is, while making lemonade sounds like a wonderful thing, it can often be painful as the lemon juice will find its way into every paper cut you have, even the tiny ones that you do not see. You see, making lemonade implies making the most of a bad situation. Sometimes it is very easy to do that, but often people will take a bad situation and just sweep it under a rug and smile and pretend that everything is okay.

Man, is that a dangerous move. You can’t just make the best of it and pretend that the situation isn’t a mess in the first place. You have to carefully deal with it and put it to rest so that it doesn’t cause you additional pain. In other words, before you deal with a bad situation, make sure that you cover your paper cuts. You must make sure that you don’t let the current situation get interspersed with the wounds that you have received along life’s way.

Dealing with a bad situation is not easy. It certainly isn’t as easy as making lemonade, but it can be as rewarding and refreshing as drinking down a big icy glass. It doesn’t have to be as difficult as we sometimes make things. Here are four things to remember about dealing with life’s lemons.

1. Forget the past! When dealing with a bad situation in the present, don’t bring up the past. The past is done and you can not change it. You can afffect the present and future though. It’s okay to use experience that you have gained from the past, but don’t confuse the past with the present.

2. Deal with it! Don’t allow this situation to become a paper cut from your past that will burn the next time you make lemonade. Deal with it as soon as humanly possibly. Don’t put it off and don’t sweep it under a rug.

3. Finish it! When possible, deal with a difficult situation and be done with it. Don’t let it linger. If you make lemonade and let it sit without drinking it too long it doesn’t taste very good.

4. Learn from it! Next time the difficult situation arises, you will better know what to do if you learn. How do you think lemonade recipes get better and easier? You learn and improve the recipe.

When life hands you lemons, go ahead and make lemonade, but cover your paper cuts and drink it quickly and clean up your mess. You never know when you will need to make lemonade again.
