What if just two minutes could completely shift how you experience your life—no matter what you’re going through?

We all get “squeezed” by life—by trauma, pain, illness, or just everyday overwhelm. And what comes out in those moments reveals what’s within. In this short but powerful reflection, Michael challenges you to change your inner story and respond with gratitude, even when the outside is bruised.

Takeaways:

• Explore a fresh way to look at your life through the lens of wonder and odds.
• Understand how your internal state shapes what you give to the world.
• Walk away with a clear, inspiring reminder to create ripples of joy—even in difficulty.

Take a deep breathe and take 2 minutes to reconnect with the miracle of being here—and the power you have to choose what lives inside you.
