  Welcome to Positively three hundred and sixty five, a podcast by Joe wattis we
• 0:10
  wish to entertain, instruct and motivate. If nothing else, Hopefully we can
• 0:16
  entertain and inspire you to live a more positive life three hundred and sixty five
• 0:20
  days a year. We hope you enjoy this message. A man walks into
• 0:31
  a bar wearing a Brown's jersey and carrying a cat who also has a Browns
• 0:36
  jersey on, with a little Brown's helmet on his head too. The guy
• 0:42
  asks the bartender, can my cat and I watch the Browns game here?
• 0:46
  My TV at home is broken and my cat and I always watch the game
• 0:51
  together. The bartender looks at him and replies, well, normally cats wouldn't
• 0:58
  be allowed in the bar, but it's not very busy in here right now,
• 1:02
  so you and the cat can have a seat at the end of the
• 1:04
  bar. But if there's any trouble with you or with the cat, I'll
• 1:10
  have to ask you both to leave. The guy agrees, and he and
• 1:15
  his cat start watching the Browns game. Pretty soon, the Browns kick a
• 1:19
  field goal, and the excited cat jumps up on the bar and walks down
• 1:25
  the bar and gives everyone a high five. Astonished, the bartender says,
• 1:30
  hey, that's pretty cool. What does the cat do for a touchdown?
• 1:36
  The guy looks at him sadly and answers, well, I don't know.
• 1:41
  I've only had him for two years. It is inevitable that setbacks come into
• 1:57
  our lives. Life does not always go as planned when these setbacks come,
• 2:05
  it is a good thing not to get too discouraged. Rather than let these
• 2:09
  things bring us down, we can change the way in which we see them.
• 2:15
  We can view the setback as a set up for a comeback. This
• 2:20
  allows us to remain hopeful that better days are coming and we can move forward.
• 2:25
  We will talk about this in this week's episode of Positively three sixty five,
• 2:30
  but first we have our trivia question of the day. Are you ready
• 2:36
  for it? Here? It is what was the predecessor of the United Nations?
• 2:43

  you for your support financially and otherwise. Do you know the answer to this
• 3:57
  week's trivia question question was what was the predecessor to the United Nations? The
• 4:05
  answer the League of Nations. Yes, the League of Nations was founded in
• 4:12
  nineteen twenty at the conclusion of the First World War. Now you know a
• 4:26
  setback in life can paradoxically serve as a powerful setup for future success. Firstly,
• 4:34
  setbacks are often instigating self reflection, prompting individuals to reassess their goals,
• 4:43
  values, and priorities. This introspection can lead to a more focused and resilient
• 4:48
  mindset, laying the groundwork for personal growth. Secondly, setbacks foster resilience and
• 4:58
  adaptability, essential qualities for navigating life's challenges. Adversity becomes a catalyst for developing
• 5:06
  coping mechanisms and problem solving skills. Lastly, setbacks often redirect individuals toward unexplored
• 5:17
  opportunities. The detour from the original path may uncover hidden talents, passions,
• 5:26
  or alternative paths to success, ultimately transforming setbacks into stepping stones for a brighter
• 5:33
  and more fulfilling future. In a quaint village lived Lily, a woman who
• 5:50
  radiated positivity. Despite life's many storms, she remained a beacon of optimism.
• 6:00
  One day, a villager asked her secret. With a warm smile, Lily
• 6:05
  shared, every set back is a set up for a comeback. Her unwavering
• 6:15
  positivity became contagious, uplifting the entire village. When challenges arose, they faced
• 6:21
  them with smiles and a shared belief in brighter days. Lily's simple philosophy echoed
• 6:30
  through the hills. Positivity isn't the absence of problems, but the courage to
• 6:34
  face them with a hopeful heart. In that village, they discovered that staying
• 6:40
  positive was the key to their collective strength. Thank you for joining us today.
