It doesn’t really matter what you make with lemons, what matters is you use everything you can from them, squeeze them, get the most out of them.
The way lemons (opportunities) work in life is they’re repeatable. Once you squeeze something out of a lemon, you get to do it again. And again. And again.
We live in a world of endless lemons.
As a little ol’ intern in a PR agency, I would squeeze all I could from those bigger and better than me. I would ask to sit in on meetings where things would fly over my head and I would have to connect the dots and pick up on the lingo and ask questions that made me feel stupid for not knowing the answer to. I squeezed the lemons.
Then I got hired full-time at that agency. Do you think I stopped squeezing the lemons?
I wanted to. After all, I got what I was hoping for. It was hard to keep squeezing lemons, but it goes back to my post on taking initiative; it doesn’t get easier, especially as you reach the larger goals you set for yourself.
In fact, it gets easier to settle, to stop, to let the lemons sit there and rot.
