When life gives you lemons, make lemonade

Describe an event you initially thought was bad but turned out okay.

Funny how this saying is one of my mantras that I usually tell other people, especially my children. I can think of several things where I've had to choke up this quotation and keep it moving.

A couple of years ago I walked away from my job to start my own workforce development program for the state of kentucky. However, the program wasn't funded for 15 months and I had to do odd jobs wherever I could find them to keep my house. I thought at the time that I would become homeless but... it all worked out fine, I'm still in my house.

I can say that from every experience I've had so far, I've tried to learn a lesson so as to not make the same mistakes repeatedly. Never underestimate the power of karma in your life. Sometimes the good you do now may not come back for years, but as long as you continue to do good things, good things will happen for you.
