When life throws a lemon,don’t get bitter but act smart for your own sake.
There are times in our life and relationship that wreck us to the core. What we do about it decides where we end up?
My own life experiences has wrecked me many times. I was almost broke to the point of giving up my life.
No one in my life took interest in my life but escalated my pain.
I had to take decision. I was determined not to give up any more.
Life became my teacher. I tried all my resources and friends to find out what must be done to get out of this narrow place.
Here are few crucial steps that we can take when our relationship is at the breaking point.
Let me start,

Be human. Be compassionate. Learn to extend compassion. You get what you give.
