Fresh off a two-week adventure in Switzerland, today I reflect on the beautiful paradox of life's 50-50 nature. From breathtaking mountain gondola rides and picturesque countryside drives to flight delays, jet lag struggles, and worrying about kids back home, this trip had it all—the amazing and the challenging in equal measure. 

In this episode, discover how a sleepless night in Switzerland sparked a profound realization about the stories we tell ourselves and others. When someone asks "How was your trip?" or "How did you sleep?" what do we choose to focus on? Inspired by President Nelson's famous quote about joy having everything to do with the focus of our lives, this conversation explores the tipping point between "good" and "bad" in our daily narratives. 

Through relatable examples—from answering "How are you?" to checking in on a missionary son—learn how our thoughts shape our emotions and experiences. This episode is a gentle reminder that while life will always be 50-50, we get to decide where we place our focus, and that choice makes all the difference. 

Perfect for anyone seeking perspective on finding joy amid life's inevitable challenges.
