In a snapshot. We make judgements about how a person got there.  It’s so easy to justify our own unhappiness by believing someone else was lucky.  And overlook the hours they spent developing and getting to that snapshot.  The hard moments, hard decisions, and sleepless nights.

In this episode of LYTE, Mike reminds us to look past that snapshot. And what it really took to get to the moment.  The little steps. The little victories.  The tiny insignificant moments. It's more than a snapshot.

"As we get to celebrate the Mothers in our lives. Take a second to reflect. Look at what you do because of her. It’s an important reminder. How one person can truly impact the future of many."

In this episode of LYTE, Mike shares a personal message about his own mother.  Honoring the one that always shined brightly in her children's eyes.  You're gonna need to grab a box of tissues for this one. 

Happy surprises are all around, this is where life is. They have a way of getting overlooked. And they don’t get celebrated the way they should.

In this 6th episode of LYTE. Mike encourages to practice finding those happy little surprises. He shares some of his very own tiny surprises. 

 We are all handed a blank calendar…..We all get to fill it in. We dwell on mistakes made. We lose sight of our opportunity to be better. Start anew.
