Thanks so much for listening, and I hope you have a fantastic day. Good morning and welcome to Wake Me Up, the podcast where morning people are made. And as usual, I'm your host, Tyler. As we wake up this morning, we'll explore how some people go from ordinary to extraordinary. And we'll try to replicate that for ourselves today. Now, what do you say we go ahead and get started? And even though we're going to have an extraordinary, extraordinary day today.

We're going to start it off just like every other ordinary day. So go ahead and open your eyes if you haven't already. Take a couple of deep breaths, just filling your lungs completely, and then letting the air go. You don't need to use any force.

And as you breathe, you can get started with some light movements or stretches in bed, whatever feels right to you. If you look around at the people in the world who do extraordinary things, you'll begin to realize that they're typically just normal people. Sure, they're often highly adept at one skill or another, but everyone's innately better at certain things. The difference with these people is that they've committed

to putting in the hard work, and they pursue excellence in whatever they do. It's not just given to them. I'm sure we all have an example of someone who we know has a special gift, but for one reason or another, they didn't pursue it fully. The difference between an ordinary person and an extraordinary person just boils down to two things, making the choice to be extraordinary and executing on that choice day after day. Elon Musk is a good example of someone who makes extraordinary things happen, and he sums up this idea really well.

He said, I think it's possible for ordinary people to choose to be extraordinary. So as we wake up this morning, we might feel like just another human being living another day here on Earth. And maybe that's the reality you're used to, but it doesn't have to be the one you accept.

You can choose to be extraordinary today. And it starts right here, right now. So on that note, if you're with me and you want to make today extraordinary, start by taking a deep breath in, and as you exhale, roll over in bed, swing your feet around and place them on the ground, and then make your way to stand up.
