If Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade!

by Sam Diener on January 21, 2010

I have a bunch of great readers. Some of you subscribe, most of you don’t. (Yeah, I am working on the design to make that easier…) But I know something about all of you:

Everyone always loves some great inspiration.

Here is a guy, Erik Proulx, who was 37, and laid off from his job. In this great piece by his start-up, he explores the stories of those that took such as himself, that took their proverbial lemons, and made lemonade.

I absolutely love it.  I want to know how you feel about this.

Life is pretty amazing sometimes, it never throws you something that you aren’t truly equipped to handle.

If you live outside the US, this won’t play….. so here is at least a trailer.

This video is was produced by  Please Feed The Animals.  It particularly strikes me because it makes me feel better about using my unemployment to grow, and explore my true passions – which in turn, are actually helping me to start making money.

What a great feeling!

What do you think?

    Keep it up Sam! Good Stuff.
  • Inspirational and sobering. So many people I know, even those who are not laid off, want to follow their dreams. They seek passion and joy. They know they have the opportunity to find it. It's just getting there.

    Thanks.
