Speaker 3: A snail walks into a car dealership and says, I
0:36
Speaker 3: want the fastest car you've got, and paint a big
0:39
Speaker 3: red S on the hood, the doors, and the trunk.
0:44
Speaker 3: The dealer asks why the s. The snail grins and says,
0:50
Speaker 3: so when I speed down the street, everyone will say,
0:54
Speaker 3: look at that s cargo. Welcome to this week's episode
1:04
Speaker 3: of Positively three sixty five. Today we're talking about something
1:08
Speaker 3: that's deceptively simple but profoundly powerful, the importance of showing up.
1:16
Speaker 3: It's easy to think that success is all about talent, timing,
1:20
Speaker 3: and who you know, and yes, those things can help,
1:25
Speaker 3: but often the biggest breakthroughs happened just because someone showed up.
1:30
Speaker 3: They didn't have all the answers, they weren't sure they
1:34
Speaker 3: were ready, but they were there and that made all
1:37
Speaker 3: the difference. But before we dig deeper, here's our trivia
1:42
Speaker 3: question of the day. Are you ready for it? Here?
1:45
Speaker 3: It is what famous writer received twelve straight rejections for
1:50
Speaker 3: her book before it was finally published and went on
1:55
Speaker 3: to become a global sensation. We will have the answer
1:59

Speaker 3: You'll be so glad you did. Thanks for listening and
3:34
Speaker 3: happy reading. Do you know the answer to this week's
3:45
Speaker 3: trivia question? The question was what famous writer received twelve
3:51
Speaker 3: straight rejections for her book before it was finally published
3:55
Speaker 3: and went on to become a global sensation. The answer
4:00
Speaker 3: A Rowling. That's right. The author of Harry Potter was
4:05
Speaker 3: turned down by a dozen publishers before a small publishing
4:10
Speaker 3: house finally took a chance on her story. And today
4:14
Speaker 3: those books have sold over five hundred million copies worldwide
4:19
Speaker 3: and inspired movies, theme parks, and a cultural phenomenon. And
4:24
Speaker 3: it all happened because she didn't give up, and more importantly,
4:28
Speaker 3: because she kept showing up. Now, you know, showing up
4:40
Speaker 3: might not sound glamorous. It doesn't always come with applause
4:45
Speaker 3: or instant success or even clear results. But showing up consistently,
4:51
Speaker 3: honestly and with intention is the foundation of everything meaningful.
4:57
Speaker 3: Think about it. Relationships thrive when you show up for people.
5:02
Speaker 3: Careers grow when you show up and do the work,
5:05
Speaker 3: even on the days you don't feel inspired. Dreams become reality,
5:11
Speaker 3: not because of one lucky moment, but because someone kept
5:15
Speaker 3: showing up when it was hard, boring, or uncertain. It's
5:20
Speaker 3: not always about being the best. It's about being there,
5:24
Speaker 3: willing to try, willing to learn, willing to risk looking
5:28
Speaker 3: foolish or even failing. Because when you show up, you
5:32
Speaker 3: send a message to the world and to yourself that
5:36
Speaker 3: you're in the game, that you care, that you are committed,
5:41
Speaker 3: and that kind of presence it is enough to move mountains.
5:59
Speaker 3: Here is your reminder. As Woody Allen once said, eighty
6:04
Speaker 3: percent of success is showing up. No you won't always
6:10
Speaker 3: feel ready. No you won't always be perfect, but perfection
6:15
Speaker 3: was never the point. Just show up again and again
6:20
Speaker 3: and again, because half the battle is simply being there.
6:25
Speaker 3: You've got this.
