Have you ever had one of THOSE DAYS or one of THOSE WEEKS? I am sure we all have. I won’t say “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” I’m submitting the idea that there's only lemonade.
The Lemon is looking at the glass half-empty and the Lemonade is the view of the glass being half-full. Another way of viewing the quote is to say it takes two steps to say today sucks (lemon) and it’s best to make the most of whatever you can (lemonade). Instead, it’s one step to learning or making the most of the situation a challenge or opportunity (lemonade.)
If this is confusing I apologize. It makes sense in my head. Hopefully, my example helps.
This week the weather in Utah I think we had spring and winter a minimum of five times with up to four inches of snow. This disrupted my week from videos, business to business engagements, and many more tasks. In this case, I can’t control the weather.
I decided to skip the lemons and take action by making lemonade. I did this by completing and addressing some tasks on my to-do board that I’ve hoped to take care of for a while (not procrastinating.) I’ve been trying to do Beards & Gear outdoors. A last-minute plan to do the video indoors or outdoors depending on what I have control of.
In conclusion, be aware of what is in your control and go straight to the good stuff, lemonade. Lemons will weigh you down.

Beards and Gear
Hydration is the game's name when it comes to tackling the outdoors. Having the right equipment and knowing how far it will take you is important. Mapping out worst-case scenarios is one of the ultimate preparations for when things go wrong. What’s a beard show without talking about beards? Beards need hydration too and we scratch the surface on this topic too.
