make lemon drizzle cake. Or lemonade.
Life hands us a hand of cards. You're playing rummy with two others and going for four aces and eight, nine ten of hearts. You have the hearts, three aces and a seven of spades. Now the person who wins the game puts down the last ace that you would have needed to succeed and wins with three jacks and jack, queen king of diamonds. So in you're mind, you're pretty annoyed seeing as they had the one important card to you and they didn't even need it. But think of the other player, the third player. They may have been going for a run of two, three, four, five, six, seven and eight of spades and they had from two til seven and a three of clubs. You had the card they would have needed for an amazing win and you didn't even need that card either, just like the winner and your ace.
Remind yourself of the other people around you when you feel like you're falling apart. You may have something they need desperately just as you need something someone else has and there's no straight way to figure it out. The person after you at the table may lay a card you need and you know you have missed out because no matter what, the person to your right can either use it or lose it but either way you'll never get it, not until the deck is turned over and you begin again.
Take advantage of new starts and become a new player, become who you want to be. Play the hand you want to and adapt your hand adequately to whatever you're dealt and you will always end up being the winner in the end.
