  Speaker 3: A man walks into a library, leans over the counter
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: and whispers, I'll have a cheeseburger, fries and a large coke.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: The librarian looks up at him and says, sir, this
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: is a library. The man nods, leans in closer, and
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: now he whispers, very quietly, sorry, Oh, have a cheeseburger,
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: fries and a large coke. Welcome to this week's episode
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: of Positively three sixty five. Today we're talking about a
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: quality that might not get as much attention as success
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: or confidence, but it's the foundation that holds everything together.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: It is resilience. Resilience is your ability to bounce back,
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: to keep going, to rise after you fall. Life has
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: a way of throwing curveballs, setbacks, failures, disappointments, and resilience
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: is what helps us not just survive them, but grow
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: because of them. So today let's explore how to build
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: that inner strength and why it matters more than we
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: might think. But first, it's time for our trivia question
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: of the day. Are you ready for it? Here it
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: is which famous inventor was told by his teachers that
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: he was too stupid to learn anything. We'll have the
• 2:06

• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Do you know the answer to this week's trivia question?
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: The question was which famous inventor was told by his
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: teachers that he was too stupid to learn anything? The
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: answer Thomas Edison. That's right. Thomas Edison, the man who
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: would go on to invent the phonograph, the light bulb,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: and hold over one thousand patents, was once considered unteachable.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: He was even fired from his first two jobs for
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: being non productive. But Edison didn't let early failure or
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: harsh criticism define him. He kept on going, trying, failing learning.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: His resilience not only led to world changing inventions, it
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: also showed us what's possible when we don't give up. Now,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: you know resilience. Resilience isn't about pretending things don't hurt.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: It's not about being tough all the time or acting
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: like everything's fine when it isn't true. Resilience is about
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: acknowledging the struggle, feeling the weight of disappointment or loss,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: and then choosing to take one more step anyway. It's
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: about understanding that failure isn't final, that rejection isn't the
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: end of the road, that heartbreak doesn't mean your story
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: is over. Resilience means giving yourself permission to be human,
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: to fall down, to cry, to take a breath and
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: still get back up and try again. Every time you rise,
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: you prove to yourself that you're stronger than the thing
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: that tried to break you and knock you down. And
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: the beautiful part resilience grows every time you use it.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: The more you stretch it, the stronger it becomes. And
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: the strength will carry you through just about anything. Here
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: is something to carry with you. Charles Darwin one said,
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: it's not the strongest of the species that survive, nor
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: You don't have to have it all figured out. You
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: just have to keep going. Fall, learn, rise, repeat. That's
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: the rhythm of resilience. Fall, learn, rise, repeat, and that's
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: how you keep moving forward, one moment, one step, one
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: brave breath at a time.
