When life gives you lemons, make lemonade

Drinking lemonade is usually considered more pleasant than eating raw lemons.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade is a proverbial phrase used to encourage optimism and a positive can-do attitude in the face of adversity or misfortune. Lemons suggest sourness or difficulty in life; making lemonade is turning them into something positive or desirable.[1]
