When life gives you lemons ! Pickle them!

“Life is not a destination; it is a journey!” Famous words hold a lot of meaning to someone who has found their purpose in life or is open to discovering their path.

However, for those who are still wary of what they are searching for or have yet to decide what they need to achieve fulfillment in life, here are a few thoughts that might help you.

Success in any form means different things to different people. It very rarely has anything to do with money or fame. It has more to do with an inner calm or contentment that cannot be replaced.

Most often we attribute success to love, friendships, wealth, and social acceptance. We place the responsibility of being happy on the shoulders of others. Unfortunately, none of those things can guarantee you satisfaction.

When we lose any of the above-mentioned reasons, we put ourselves on autopilot and steer ourselves directly into the path of sacrifice, compromise, and very often run the risk of losing our self-respect and dignity. We give in and settle for whatever comes our way in the hope that somewhere down the line, we will achieve what we want.

This rarely happens.

It is never a good idea to compensate for true meaning in your life. As with most things, conditions need to be suitable for any form of growth or development. You can't force a baby to start walking from the time it is born. It has to find its feet and get used to the environment it is in before venturing to move. Then too, it goes through phases. Not all will be successful but it perseveres in its quest for walking tall. It never settles for crawling as a substitute.

So, when you face a setback or things are not going the way you envisioned, take a step back, evaluate your goals and make the necessary changes that will keep you true to who you are.

In the end, we need to be comfortable with the kind of person we are and not regret putting on a facade just for momentary pleasure.

So when life hands you lemons, pickle them. They make your regular meals a lot tastier without losing their true essence.
