“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade” is a proverbial phrase used to encourage optimism and positivity in the face of adversity or misfortune. Lemons suggest sourness or difficulty in life, while lemonade is generally a sweeter experience.
It’s easy to look at someone else’s life and think that they have it all together. However, perhaps the journey that has led them to who they are today may have been filled with a host of twists and turns and a whole lot of lemons that were made into lemonade.
