A Wonderful Opportunity

“When was the last time you embraced a situation that you didn't like? Did you complain through the entire experience or did you run away from the situation altogether? If you did either, you missed a wonderful opportunity to be something that you've never been before. It just might have been that one thing that you had been wishing for.”

I agree and like the sentiment of that quote. I had a different situation where I originally loved and embraced everything about it but I found out that the situation and other people involved complained and whined about any effort or input I made. As it became more and more hostile and dysfunctional, I ditched and left.
I believe in turning lemons into lemonade but it sucks when nobody wants to appreciate or drink the lemonade and are absolutely satisfied with continuing to complain about the lemons they are so used to.
