  Speaker 3: Mike was driving home from a long business trip in
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: northern Arizona when he saw an elderly Navajo man walking
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: on the side of the road. As the trip was
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: long and a quiet one, he pulled the car over
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: and asked the Novajo man if he would like a ride.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: With a silent nod of thanks, the old man got
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: into the car, resuming the journey. Mike tried in vain
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: to make a bit of small talk with the Navajo man.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: The old man just sat silently, looking intently at everything
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: he saw, studying every little detail until he noticed a
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: brown bag on the seat next to Mike. What in bag,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: asked the old man. Mike looked down at the brown
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: bag and said, Oh, it's just a bottle of wine.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: I got it from my wife. The Navajo man was
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: silent for another moment or two, then, speaking with the
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: quiet wisdom of an elder, he said, good trade. Sometimes
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: we just don't understand the hows or whyse of something
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: happening in our life. Sometimes we don't get the closure
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: we think we need or deserve. We will talk about
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: this in this week's episode of Positively three sixty five,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: But first we have our trivia question of the day.
• 2:08

• 2:14

• 2:19

• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Do you know the answer to this week's trivia question?
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: The question was which language has the most native speakers worldwide?
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: The answer Mandarin Chinese. Yes, Mandarin Chinese has the most
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: native speakers of any language, with over nine hundred million
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: people speaking it as their first language. This is largely
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: due to China's population size, where Mandarin is the official language.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Spanish and English follow in second and third place, respectively
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: for the most native speakers globally. Now you know, moving
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: on without closure can be challenging, but it starts with
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: accepting that some answers may never come. Instead of waiting
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: for an explanation or a resolution, focus on creating your
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: own peace by letting go of the need for understanding.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Recognize that closure doesn't come for others, it comes from within.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Shifting your energy towards self care, new goals, and supportive
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: relationships can ensure that you are able to move on.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: It is important to remember three things. One, you're not
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: always going to get the closure or explanation you think
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: you deserve. Two, sometimes you have to accept that's something
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: for what it is and move on. And Third, everything
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: really does happen for a reason.
