more than a cup of lemonade

making something from nothing can prove itself difficult, but certainly not impossible.

seemingly not having opportunities to do what you must doesn’t have to stop you in life either.

remember that the next time you’re served a platter of lemons.

by now, you understand the power of transformation + can quickly adapt to making:

  • lemonade
  • lemon tarts
  • lemon pie
  • lemon water
  • lemon slushies
  • lemon cookies
  • lemon candy

— whatever the situation calls for, you can + will find a way to make it happen.

think about the times when you felt you had nothing to lose — 

in those times, what did you already have + what do with it? 

did not having a certain something stop you from going after what you wanted?

of course it didn’t!

you went after what you wanted with all of your wherewithal, with all your heart, + with all your might + you did whatever it took to make that experience happen for you.

so let’s be very clear here: it’s never been about the money.

it’s not about the lack of opportunity, gaining permission, or having access to resources.

living life on your own terms has always + will always be about you making a choice.

it’s about you deciding that regardless of the circumstance or situation, you are committed to taking the chance on yourself by way of intentional action.

you still have nothing to lose, fam.

you know what you want in life + now’s the time to muster up that courage + go for it once + for all!

you’ve got what it takes to figure it out.

you may not have all of the answers, the resources, or the skills here + now, but you know enough to get you to where you desire to be.

today, continue using what you’ve got to get what you want.

once you decide that you will,  there’s no doubt that you will.

be you, be dope!
