  Welcome to Positively three hundred and sixty five, a podcast by Joe wattis we
• 0:06
  wish to entertain, instruct and motivate. If nothing else, hopefully we can
• 0:11
  entertain and inspire you to live a more positive life three hundred and sixty five
• 0:15
  days a year. We hope you enjoy this message. A German walks into
• 0:25
  a McDonald's in the United States. After waiting in line, he finally gets
• 0:30
  to the counter and he orders a pint of beer, because you can get
• 0:34
  beer at McDonald's in Germany. An American customer overhears the man's order and he
• 0:41
  approaches the German Man and says, how can you be so stupid you can't
• 0:46
  order a beer here? While laughing at the German Man right in his face.
• 0:53
  The German Man thinks for a second, and then he starts laughing uncontrollably.
• 1:00
  Us any laugh. This is a laugh so intense that he's struggling not
• 1:03
  to fall over. The American customer, no longer laughing, is curious.
• 1:11
  He just now has a puzzled face, and he asked the German Man what
• 1:18
  is so funny. The German Man looks at him and responds, I just
• 1:23
  realized that you came in here for the food. We live in an imperfect
• 1:42
  world. There is so much change that can and should happen to make this
• 1:48
  world a better place? Is it idealistic to want to make these changes?
• 1:55
  Is it even possible to change the world. We will talk about this and
• 1:59
  this week's episode of Positively three sixty five, But first we have our trivia
• 2:04

• 3:29
  know the answer to this week's trivia question? The question was which American Civil
• 3:36
  War battle had the most casualties in any single day of fighting. The answer
• 3:44
  the Battle of Antietam, which was fought on September seventeenth, eighteen sixty two.
• 3:52
  It had twenty two thousand, seven hundred and twenty six casualties in a
• 3:58
  single day. Now you know, Transforming the world begins with a fundamental shift
• 4:12
  within ourselves. When we focus on our personal growth, cultivating empathy, and
• 4:19
  embracing a mindset of positive change, we inherently contribute to a better world.
• 4:27
  By refining our values, choices, and interactions, we set an example for
• 4:31
  others, creating a ripple effect of inspiration and transformation. Changing ourselves serves as
• 4:40
  a catalyst for a broader societal shift, as the collective impact of individual growth
• 4:46
  can reshape communities and beyond. It's a profound acknowledgment that the world reflects our
• 4:53
  collective consciousness, So, rather than merely aspiring to change the external, the
• 5:00
  emphasis on the personal evolution recognizes the interconnected nature of humanity, encouraging a more
• 5:08
  compassionate and enlightened global landscape. In changing ourselves, we become active participants in
• 5:15
  the ongoing transformative narrative of our shared human experience. Change the world begins with
• 5:27
  changing ourselves. The poet Rumi once made a profound observation which applies to our
• 5:40
  topic today. He said, yesterday, I was clever, so I wanted
• 5:46
  to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
