Clichés are commonplace in the world today.Some people build their whole life around a catchy phrase that both entertains and informs. But a lot of times they only deal with surface issues that gives temporary answers to life's more serious issues. Clichés have a place in life and language. But to be helpful they must be transformed into something that empowers people to explore more deeply the great issues of our life and times.The effort of this book is to take a popular cliché and use it to enable people to think more seriously about the issue of bitterness and strife that pervades a great part of the population of the world today. To live a life full of bitterness and strife has to be one of the most distressing ways to live. Bitterness and strife absorb so much of a person's daily existence. It is hard to be constructive when something so strong as bitterness and strife has a foot hole in a person's life. So then, using the common cliché, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade", this book aims to lead the reader towards a path away from bitterness and strife and into a life of joy and peace. No one has to be bitter in life. Bitterness is a choice. There are alternatives. A path to a more positive and constructive way of life can be chosen. Since this cliché has been introduced into the language of modern culture it has been used by various disciplines, doctrines and daily conversations to capture the innate ability of many humans to rise above the pull of bitterness and adopt a lifestyle that chooses to be positive and constructive rather than angry and bitter. We are not created to be bitter, but to be a pleasant aroma that overcomes the harsh tone of our existence that pervades human interaction in so many sectors today."When life gives you lemons, make lemonade" is a cliché that is simple but profound in so many ways. Part of the aim of this book is to move it away from just its simplistic use to a more serious effort to transcend the pervasive tendency of modern humans to be consumed by bitterness and strife. Seven elements are presented as primers for acquiring the capacity to overcome any form of bitterness that seeks to have control over our lives. Some are biblical and some are human aspirations that have a close correlation to the teachings of the Bible. In either case the belief is that God desires that humans would be able, with divine help, to live a life that is void of bitterness and infused with God's love that is able to transform the most hurtful situations in life into expressions of God's all-encompassing love, mercy and grace. What I hope to do in this book is to enable someone to get beyond any anger or bitterness in life and become a stronger more loving, compassionate, and kind person.
