  wish to entertain, instruct and motivate if nothing else, Hopefully we can entertain
• 0:15
  then inspire you to live a more positive life three hundred and sixty five days
• 0:19
  a year. We hope you enjoy this message. A guy sits down at
• 0:29
  a movie theater and notices that the man in front of him has brought his
• 0:34
  dog and is sitting in the seat next to him. He thinks it's unusual,
• 0:40
  but he likes dogs, so he decides that as long as it's not
• 0:44
  a distraction, he won't mention it. The movie starts, and pretty soon
• 0:49
  there's a funny part. The dog makes some low wolfing sounds that seem like
• 0:55
  laughter. In a little while, there's a sad part and the dog appears
• 1:00
  to be weeping. This continues throughout the movie, and the man sitting behind
• 1:06
  the dog is astounded. When the lights come up, he taps the dog's
• 1:11
  owner on the shoulder and tells him, I gotta say, I know it
• 1:15
  sounds weird, but it seems like your dog really enjoyed this movie. The
• 1:22
  dog owner looks at the dog and nods. I know it really is weird,
• 1:29
  he says, because he absolutely hated the book. Life does not always
• 1:46
  go as planned. Have you ever had a bad experience turn into something good?
• 1:53
  As the saying goes, Sometimes God writes straight in crooked lines. Bad
• 1:59
  thing can turn out to be blessings in disguise. We will talk about this
• 2:05
  in this week's episode of Positively three sixty five. But first we have our
• 2:09

• 3:38
  The question was by law, every citizen of Kentucky must do what annually?
• 3:46
  The answer take a bath? Now you know, life's twists often conceal blessings
• 4:01
  within challenges. What seems like misfortune may in truth be a disguised gift.
• 4:10
  Adversity, though daunting, invites growth, resilience, and unexpected opportunities. Through
• 4:17
  trials, we discover strength we never knew. Existent failures steer us toward valuable
• 4:25
  blessings, redirecting our paths towards unforeseen success. These apparent setbacks often unravel into
• 4:34
  transformative moments, propelling personal evolution. Embracing the notion that bad things can be
• 4:42
  blessings in disguise, foster's resilience and a profound appreciation for the intricate dance of
• 4:49
  fate. It is within these challenges that the silver linings, bright and unforeseen,
• 4:57
  illuminate our journey with un expected radiance. Listen to what Joseph Campbell said
• 5:09
  in his Reflections on the Art of Living. Nietzsche was the one who did
• 5:16
  the job for me at a certain moment in his life, the idea came
• 5:21
  to him of what he called the love of your fate. Whatever your fate
• 5:28
  is, whatever the hell happens to you, you say, this is what
• 5:33
  I need. It may look like a wreck but go at it as though
• 5:40
  it were an opportunity, a challenge. If you bring love to that moment,
• 5:45
  not discouragement, you will find the strength. Is there any disaster you
• 5:50
  can survive is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life.
• 5:57
  What a privilege this is when the spontaneity of your own nature will have
• 6:01
  a chance to flow. Then, when looking back at your life, you
• 6:08
  will see that the moments which seem to be great failures followed by wreckage were
• 6:14
  the incidents that shaped your life that you have now, you'll see that this
• 6:18
  is really true. Nothing can happen to you that is not positive. Even
• 6:25
  though it looks and feels at the moment like a negative crisis, it is
• 6:29
  not. The crisis throws you back, and when you are required to exhibit
• 6:33
  strength, it comes. Thank you for joining us today. Please consider taking
