I'm sure you guys have been familiar with this quote, "When life gives you lemon, make lemonade!". This popular saying is basically advising you to make the best of the negative situations in life. Well, I know exactly that making a 'lemonade'' can be much easier said than done.
The fact is that we live in the world full of competitions and rapid changes everywhere. There must be the time when got the urge to make a sudden decision but also got pressure from your surroundings which can lead to some mistakes.
Lemons are always sour no matter what. Take a whole lemon and bite into it and see what happens. Even if they are ripe their taste is still that of strong, bitter, sour. This cannot be done away with. No one wants anything sour or bitter in his life.
Given that life hands lemons to everyone from time to time, the best, most positive attitude is to use those "lemons" and turn them into something good: lemonade, which everybody likes. Something must be added to them then all becomes more of a positive thing. It is the same in life. There are always negatives in life for us all. These negatives can remain as is(sour). Or you can add something to them and make them more positive.
In sum, each of us does have the ability to become aware of our automatic thoughts, to challenge the validity of those thoughts, and restructure them. Focus on the use of what you have, no point focusing on the negative aspects!
