There are times when everyone feels a little low. Times are tough, especially right now, and we, as humans, run the full range of emotions from love to hate, from happiness to sadness, from peace to anxiety, etc.
I’m currently in a state of happy anxiety, mixed with a touch of procrastination. “Why?” you ask? Well, I’ll tell you. I am working on a screenplay that I hope to submit to an internationally-known screenwriter’s lab. Twice before I have submitted an entry and twice I’ve been “rejected”, so to speak; however, I am not giving up. Besides, “third time’s a charm”! I won’t go into details about this screenplay, but it is inspired by actual people that I know.
So in my state of happy anxiety, mixed with a touch of procrastination, I came across a slip of paper folded up in my daily planner. I have seen this slip of paper in my planner on many occasions – heck, I’m the one who put it here, but I have failed to open it and read it… that is, until today. For some odd reason, I pulled it out and decided to read it.
1. There are at least two people in this world that would die for you.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don’t like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. You are special and unique.
8. Someone that you don’t even know exists loves you.
9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
10. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take another look.
11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.
**And always remember… when life hands you lemons, ask for tequila and salt, and call me over!
These eleven simple statements are timeless and can be applied to anyone’s life.
I bet if you thought long and hard about it, you could think of two people, if not more, in this world that would die for you. And I’m sure there are more than 15 people in this world that love you in some way. I could go on, statement after statement, and explain to you how, if you think hard about it, each statement could be applied to your life. So… CHIN UP, BUTTERCUP!
When life hands you lemons, don’t be a sour-puss… throw a party and make lemonade… or lemon bars or lemon shots!
Has life handed you an armful of lemons lately? What did you do to turn those lemons into lemonade? I’d love to hear from you!
Have a great day!
