Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own

 Tough, you think you’ve got the stuff
You’re telling me and anyone
You’re hard enough
You don’t have to put up a fight
You don’t have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don’t have to go in alone
And it’s you when I look in the mirror
And it’s you when I don’t pick up the phone
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own

I’ve heard it said:

For every door that closes, another opens.

And:

Turn every stumbling block into a stepping stone.

Not to mention the old standard:

Every dark cloud has a silver lining.

But what I really hate being said to me is this:


          When Life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

That’s
stupid, I know it’s a metaphor but I’m allergic to lemons— I can die
an anaphylactic death from lemons and so I prefer to say this——

When life gives you lemons, squirt them in the eye.


Oooh and this I have to say for myself, I said this one to a friend of mine—
Friend: “well, look on the bright side, you know, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade”
ME: “I’m allergic to citrus”
Friend: “well, look on the bright side, you know, when life gives you lemons, swell up and die”

As you go about your daily life, you will encounter many lemons. Sour
expressions, sour attitudes, sour auras! The good thing is that if you
don’t want to be a lemon, you don’t have to be! Just don’t let those
lemons rub themselves all over you! And you don’t even have to save
them! Let lemons be lemons! One of the most important things that I have
ever learned, is that I don’t have to save people.

I
must say that I really major-league resent people who try to suggest
that misery brings something positive into your life like it makes you a
better person, or makes you stop and sniff the roses or something
equally trite. What complete and utter blithering nonsense. That’s like
saying “When your stock portfolio crashes, at least you can save money
by using the stock certificates to wallpaper the bathroom”. Give me a
break.
Another aphorism that comes into my mind as I try to deal is:

Life wasn’t meant to be easy.
I
remember the former Prime Minister of Australia, Malcolm Fraser, saying
this in Parliament in response to an opposition member’s statement that
Mal’s politics weren’t making life easy for the poor.

But in the end I say—


Life wasn’t meant to be easy. But it also wasn’t meant to be this hard.

People
have to face regrets. Becoming mature means learning to accept what you
cannot change, facing unresolved sorrows and learning to love life as
it really happens, not as you would have it happen. When someone
attaches unkindness to criticism, she’s angry. Angry people need to
criticize as an outlet for their anger. That’s why you must reject
unkind criticism. Unkind criticism is never part of a meaningful
critique of you. Its purpose is not to teach or to help, its purpose is
to punish. Life isn’t supposed to be an all or nothing battle between
misery and bliss. Life isn’t supposed to be a battle at all. And when it
comes to happiness, well, sometimes life is just okay, sometimes it’s
comfortable, sometimes wonderful, sometimes boring, sometimes
unpleasant. When your day’s not perfect, it’s not a failure or a
terrible loss. It’s just another day.

    Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I
    could find a captcha plugin for my comment
    form? I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having difficulty finding one?
    Thanks a lot!

    Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform you're using? I'm going to start
    my own blog in the near future but I'm having a tough time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.
    P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

    First of all I would like to say superb blog!

    I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing. I have had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there. I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips? Appreciate it!

    Very good blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?
    I'm hoping to start my own site soon but I'm a little
    lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform
    like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are
    so many options out there that I'm completely overwhelmed .. Any recommendations? Bless you!
