No matter who you are or what you do, at some point in every person’s life the powers that be will hash out some lemons. It is what a person chooses to do with these lemons that determines their strength of character.

Some people choose to suck on them and have their mouth tainted with a bitter taste that is hard to eliminate. Some decide to embrace the opportunity to emotionally eat and make lemonade (or lemon cake, or lemon ice cream.) You get the point.

When life chooses to give me lemons I tend to say stuff it and eat the lemons, but only after I have bought the tequila and salt to go with them.

There are silver linings in every crisis we face and there are always two ways of looking at situations. At critical point, a crisis is all-consuming and you feel like you will never remember how to smile again. I’m here to tell you friends that it is all about perspective, there are two sides to every story.

If you are eating the bitter lemon, stop right now. No matter who you are, you have experienced at least one of the below, and this is how a tequila drinker would deal with it.
