- Extraordinary Opportunities | EP 43
When I wake up at 5am, I get some of the most subtle but interesting thoughts. As I go through the day, I hardly share these thoughts because they’re either “too random” or I forget them by noon. In march 2019, I decided to share 1 thought every morning for 31 days. #TodayAt5AM is a collection of these thoughts that I shared via Instagram. I believe that there’s a message in there for someone. The process allowed me to remain accountable to my morning start time, while simultaneously sharing the first thing on my heart each morning. I hope you enjoy it!

Nothing good comes in comfort, so diving in (taking a leap of faith) is the way to go, after all, nobody really knows what they are doing even the top billionaires we are all just showing up fully every day.
Show Note:
