Good morning.

Welcome to Wake Me Up.

I'm Tyler, your host, as always.

This week we've been talking about spreading love to everyone.

The power of love and appreciation is truly extraordinary.

Love has the ability to disarm anger and resentment, to build unexpected bonds, to heal pain,

and to encourage us to reach for new heights. Being a source of this kind of positivity can have powerful effects on your life.

The more good you put out, the more comes back to you.

And today's episode is designed to motivate you to spread more love in your own life.

I hope it brings you good cheer and wonderful results.

But before we dive in, just pause for one moment.

And envision yourself as a beacon of love and appreciation.

See your positive light spreading everywhere you go.

See all of the smiles you'd change. See all of the lives you'd change.

See the better world you'd cultivate.

And enjoy that great feeling it would give you, knowing that you've made other people feel seen

and appreciated. Although we often say that love is selfless, there is an element of selfishness to it,

because it makes us all

part of what's so great about it.

It makes us all better off.
