Good morning and welcome to Wake Me Up, the podcast where Morning People Are Made.

I'm Tyler, your host, as always,

and I'm so glad to have you here with me.

Friends, the world is filled with so many great things.

There's so much to be excited about on a daily basis.

But unfortunately, negativity tends to be louder than positivity.

Partially, this is just the way we're wired as humans.

It's true.

As a general rule, our brains are designed to focus on avoiding negative stimuli

over gravitating towards positive ones. And you see this playing out in daily life all the time.

The news largely reports on negative things,

crime, corruption, bad weather,

and the same is true of social media. People tend to complain about their

problems a lot louder and a lot more often than they rejoice in their

successes. But you know what?

Every day progress is made and every day people choose to treat each other with

respect and care. The truth is in each moment there's something positive going on in your life.
