Everyone knows the saying, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade!  I say when life gets you down, don't make lemonade, instead, bake lemon meringue pies!

Have you ever felt that life is giving you a bundle of lemons? That no matter what you do, how you do it, you just can't get out of the mess your life is in? I understand. Everyone at one time or another has had the same experience as you. Here's the difference between those who succeed and those who don't: the ones who succeed don't wallow in their pity party! That's right. They don't allow their negative thoughts and feelings to control their lives.

How many times have you spoken to a person who complains about the same thing over and over again? After a while you don't want to talk to them because they are a downer! You don't want to be that way! If you did, you wouldn't be

                                   reading this!        

So, here is my rule for when I am having a pity party. I only allow 15 minutes for my pity party. If it lasts longer, what good is it doing me? Am I getting smarter, richer, and happier? NO! So, I allow 15 minutes to feel sorry for myself, THEN I DECIDE---that's right---I DECIDE to do something about it. It could be listening to upbeat music or writing out a list of what I have to do and breaking it down into small obtainable tasks. It might even be sharing my issues with bright and positive people who can see things I cannot.

Then I DO IT!! I get moving. Sometimes, I might have to give myself a quick kick in the behind, to push myself, but I do something. I do not sit around and wait for a solution to come to me, because 9 times out of 10, nothing comes...other than more self-pity! 

So, get off your butt! DECIDE to do something---if not for you, for your family, your future, your happiness or your health. Like that Nike ad says: "Just do it!"

So get out there and have a great day!
