I am beyond thrilled that you're here today because in this episode, we're going to prepare ourselves to be the best we can possibly be today.

We're going to maximize not only our day, but our lives. My friend, the people who are the happiest, the most successful, the most fulfilled in life, they are that way because they wake up every morning, and they choose to live life in their own unique way. And I know that today, after listening to this episode, you are going to be one of those people. Now before we begin, let's take a couple of deep breaths, just to calm ourselves, focus ourselves, and energize ourselves to be the best we can be.

So breathe with me, inhale, fill all the way up through your chest and your belly, hold at the top, and then exhale, release. Just let the air fall out. There's no need to force anything here. Again, inhale, even deeper this time. Hold at the top and then exhale, release. We'll do that one more time. So inhale, deepest breath yet.

Hold. Take an extra sip of air in. And then release. Just let it all go. Now, if you haven't gotten up yet, then I recommend you go ahead, roll over and get up now. Do something to get your morning started.

You can do anything. but just get moving. And let me tell you why. It's a very simple truth. The only limitation you have in life is time. Time is what controls everything. Maybe you're a little bit sad today. Give it some time.

You'll have some happy days coming. Or maybe you're happy and ecstatic right now. Give that some time. I'm sure you'll have a bad day eventually. Maybe you feel low because you feel like a failure. Well, get to work, be consistent, and give it some time. I guarantee you that will change. You see, the time to chase your dreams is now.

And I hate to break it to you. If you're not chasing your own dreams, then you're helping someone else chase theirs. Because we all have dreams, aspirations and goals that we want to achieve. The key to success lies in our determination to take that first step, to stay committed, to care less about what others think, and to do more to bring our dreams to life. Too often, we hold ourselves back with excuses.

We say, we're not ready, we're not skilled enough, or the timing just isn't right. But I'll tell you what, these excuses, everyone has a million of them, and they're never going to go away. The timing will never be perfect. The stars are never going to align exactly in your favor. All you need is one good reason to get going. And once you're going, you've got inertia.

An object in motion tends to stay in motion. In the exact same way, a human in pursuit of a goal tends to see. stay in pursuit of that goal. It's equally important to stop living the life that someone else expects of you, that someone else says you should. Your dreams are uniquely yours. They're not your bosses, they're not your parents, they're not your societies.

They aren't going to fit someone else's mold, and neither will you. Everyone's worried about keeping up with the Joneses. But who really cares what the Joneses are doing? doing, thinking, and saying, if the Joneses are that judgmental, then why are we spending our lives trying to keep up with them? They're not the right people to model. If you really want to know what gets people's attention and admiration, it's this, being unapologetically yourself. That energy, that mindset is infectious. People will swarm to you if you do what you love and you share that passion outwardly.

My friend, the world needs you, and it needs your unique talents, your passions, and your contributions. Don't live your life to please others. We often find ourselves making choices based on what we think will make others happy rather than what will make us happy. It's essential to be considerate,

but you can't be considerate of other people's opinions, desires, and thoughts at the expense of your own happiness, at the expense of your own dreams. This is your life. Don't waste it away, spending your time doing what someone else wants you to do, chasing someone else's dream. Now, you might be wondering where to start.

Well, there's really only one place. You have to start from zero. How can you make a million dollars before you make one? How can you run a hundred miles? before you take the first step. My friend, nobody is born with their dreams fully realized. We all begin from square one. About four years ago, I recorded a podcast episode

to help people feel good about themselves in the morning. I tell you what, it was really not very good. But you know what? I did it over and over and over again. And now I'm here. I sound a lot more legit. and you found your way here too. So embrace your humble beginnings.

That's what you're going to be the most proud of in the end. And understand that they are the foundation upon which you will build your dreams. Don't worry about making mistakes, not having it all figured out, or heading in the wrong direction for a little while. Things often don't make sense while you go through them. And it's only when we look back that we see, our path actually made perfect sense all along. In this world, filled with endless possibilities,

each of us has a unique journey. Remember, it's your path to pave, your dream to pursue, your goals to reach. Your story, your journey, and your dreams are unlike anyone else's. And the only way you can find your own path is to do the things that you, actually care about.

Don't do something because it's what your parents want or what people think is cool and trendy right now. Spend your time on the things that fire you up. 99% of humanity's potential is wasted because people don't listen to themselves first. They listen to what other people think they should do. So I encourage you to take this moment right now and ask yourself,

What is it that you truly desire? What sets you on fire and makes you feel alive? Whatever that may be, whether it's a lifelong passion or a new idea, understand that you have the power to make it a reality. And if you don't know what it is that fires you up yet, that's perfectly fine. Spend some time figuring it out. Try new things. meet new people, get outside of your comfort zone.

If you do that, I promise, you will find it exactly at the right time. You have within you the power to make a difference, to shape the future, to bring your dreams to life, and to make this world a better place for everyone that comes after you. So believe in yourself. believe in the power of your own dreams. The universe puts you here to have those dreams, to chase them. So believe that you have the strength, the resilience, and the creativity to make them a reality. You are your greatest asset and your biggest advocate.

My friend, you are a hero in the making. So I want to leave you here to go make the most of your day. by reminding you of that one simple truth I began with. Your only limitation is time. The time to chase your dreams is now. And it doesn't matter where you start. It doesn't matter where you're at right now. And it doesn't matter what you do today.

Just do something. Move forward. Make a wrong turn. And learn not to go that way tomorrow. That is product. progress too. Because in the long run, what matters is the determination, the passion, and the courage with which you pursue those dreams. In every heart around the world, there are dreams waiting to be unleashed. Many people will never even begin to bring those dreams to fruition.

Some people will begin, but they'll give up along the way. And then there's a small few who will truly commit, who will find the joy in their calling, and will ride the wave of happiness on the journey to their dreams. So which kind of person do you choose to be? Well, my friend, I hope you are lit up to go chase your dreams today, to make the most of not only this day, but your entire life. You have been given a gift.

Don't waste it. Don't let time slip you by. But that's all I've got for today. Thanks so much for tuning in and joining me here. It always means a ton to have you. If you enjoyed this episode, then I'd really appreciate it if you left a comment or review, and you let me know.

I hope to see you back here soon on Wake Me Up, and by then, I hope to see you one more step closer to your dreams. Until next time, go out, and have an absolutely. fantastic day.
