How to Stay On the Journey Even When Life Throws You Lemons


Listen Later

We all know the saying: when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

And, I get it – lemons are sour and difficult to eat on their own – but if you add some water and sugar, all of a sudden you’ve got something sweet and refreshing.

Take a challenge and make something good out of it.

But sometimes, life hurls lemons at you so hard they splatter when they hit. And no one can make lemonade out of that.

So, what do you do when you look at your life and realize you are barely surviving? When you feel like you are in a perpetual state of just putting one foot in front of the other, keeping your head above water, stuck full on in survival mode?

Well, I’m not going to pretend to have all the answers, but I am going share with you some of the best tools that have helped me over the years.

And, if you’ve been following me for awhile, you know I have literally made almost every mistake there is to make. I have screwed up everything and have had to dig my way out of it all, all by myself.

And it is true that profound transformation often comes from difficulties and challenges and pain. It’s also true that profound transformation takes a long time.

And, if you’re anything like me, you want everything yesterday.

I’m going to share some very specific skills you can start RIGHT  NOW, that will make your life, and your recovery, a thousand times better.

If you feel like life is throwing you more than your share of lemons, and you want some relief right the F now, then this episode is for you, my friend.
