Lemons. Bittersweet. Tart. Some would say a perfect sum of life’s attributes, a perfect portrayal of life’s moments. Whether we choose to see these lemons as bad moments or as new opportunities to “squeeze the zest” from life it depends solely on ourselves. The choice is ours to believe that beauty exists in everything, even in our setbacks.           So, I encourage you to prevail, to accept the wonderful growth that can spark from every grieving process, to “turn lemons into lemonade” if you like, and to set your mind to acknowledge that, moments happen for us, not to us and we can make things work for us, not against us.           When a door closes another one opens. As we decide the faith of our Pause Breathe Reflect Tour,  our community gets another opportunity to raise awareness over the importance of mental health and takes another step in achieving its goal- to become a symbol of mindfulness.   Key points: A little bit of context (01:18) An overall win (04:38) New opportunities (05:59) Lessons… (06:55) National Mental Health Awareness Month (09:50) It’s ok not to be ok (11:25) Help eliminate stigma (12:23) To discover more visit:  http://www.michaelobrienshift.com   https://www.kintsugipodcast.com/   Have me speak at your next event:  https://www.michaelobrienshift.com/event-planners   The Pace Line Leadership Academy for Manager and Directors:  https://www.michaelobrienshift.com/pace-line-leadership-academy Please join our Pause Breathe Reflect community by downloading our app from the Apple Store or Google Play today.
