The podcast Where Morning People are Made.

I'm your host, Tyler, and I'm so pleased to have you joining me this morning.

People often say how they wish they could be a kid again.

That youthful feeling of curiosity, playfulness,

new experiences, and embedded within those

the child's growth.

Once you're an adult, the responsibility's set in,

and as they say, it's all downhill from here.

Well, frankly, I think that's a really depressing way of looking at life,

and it's not accurate either. Sure, as adults, we're probably not going to get any taller.

But that doesn't mean we can't continue to improve ourselves,

continue to be curious and playful, continue to try new things, continue to grow.

The difference is only that children grow without conscious effort.

As adults, we have to put in some effort to keep growing.

But that doesn't mean it's not worth it.

In fact, to me, it makes it all the more worth it.

So, as we wake up and prepare our minds and bodies for this day,

we'll remember that life is all about growth.

So, what do you say we get started?

Whether you're in bed or up and about already, just pause for a second and take a big breath in.
