0:16.0	Hey there, welcome to Wake Me Up. I'm your host Tyler, as always, and I'm so grateful to have you here.
0:20.0	This week's episodes are all based on a common theme, the concept of writing your own story.
0:27.0	In this motivational episode, we'll dive into what it really means to be in control of your own life, your own story, and
0:36.1	to take charge in writing it.
0:39.6	In just 10 minutes, I'm sure you'll believe that you are the writer of your own life, and you'll be empowered
0:46.2	to make changes that align with the reality you want to create.

2:08.0	You see the act of storytelling goes way back thousands of years before humans could even write. We've always been
2:15.4	storytellers and we've sought comfort in them. As scientist Michael Schurmer puts it,
2:22.0	humans are by nature pattern-seeking storytelling animals.
2:27.6	And we are quite adept at telling stories about patterns whether they exist or not.
2:34.4	So our minds are always searching in this way
2:37.7	to make connections.
2:39.8	And while this has made us an incredibly intelligent species,
