  days a year. We hope you enjoy this message. A German shepherd,
• 0:25
  a doberman, and a cat died in heaven. They faced God, who
• 0:30
  wanted to know what they believed in. The German shepherd said, I believe
• 0:36
  in discipline, loyalty, and the training of my master. Good, said
• 0:42
  God, you may sit at my right side. The doberman said, I
• 0:48
  believe in love, care and protection of my master. Aha, you may
• 0:54
  sit on my left side, said God. Then God looked at the cat
• 0:59
  and said, what do you believe in? The cat replied, I believe
• 1:04
  you are sitting in my seat. Have you ever noticed the trend towards superficiality
• 1:22
  in our world today? We're easily bored, Our attention spans keep shrinking,
• 1:29
  and we have a steady stream of superficial input from the media. It's a
• 1:34
  mile wide and an inch deep. We're more apt to react to what we
• 1:38
  see on social media and type off a quick response or click a thumbs up
• 1:45
  button and move on to the next video flashing at us. Before we know
• 1:49
  it, an hour or two or more has passed and all we've been doing
• 1:56
  is waiting in the shallows. We will talk about super officiality in today's episode
• 2:01
  of Positively three sixty five, but first we have our trivia question of the
• 2:07
  day. Are you ready for it? Here? It is what bird is
• 2:14

  financially and otherwise do you know the answer to this week's trivia question? The
• 3:35
  question was what bird is known for laying its eggs in the nests of other
• 3:40
  birds? The answer the cuckoo. Female parasitic cuckoos sometimes specialize and lay eggs
• 3:52
  that closely resemble the eggs of their chosen host. Some birds are able to
• 3:57
  distinguish cuckoo eggs from their own, leading to those eggs least like the hosts
• 4:04
  being thrown out of the nest. Now you know, Choosing authenticity over superficiality
• 4:19
  is an investment in a richer, more meaningful existence. Authentic living empowers individuals
• 4:27
  to embrace their true selves, fostering genuine connections and deeper relationships in a world
• 4:35
  often entangled with facades. Authenticity stands as a beacon of honesty, enabling personal
• 4:45
  growth and self discovery. By rejecting superficiality, individuals free themselves from the shackles
• 4:53
  of societal expectations and materialistic pursuits. They can find contentment in their their own
• 5:00
  unique values and passions. Authenticity promotes emotional resilience, providing a sturdy foundation to
• 5:06
  navigate life's challenges. With sincerity, it sparks positive ripple effects, inspiring others
• 5:15
  to seek genuine connections and live purposefully. In the pursuit of authenticity, individuals
• 5:23
  contribute to a more compassionate and understanding world where true connections triumph over surface level
• 5:30
  interactions. Ultimately choosing authenticity as a conscious decision to live a life that is
• 5:40
  deeply fulfilling, leaving a lasting legacy of sincerity and genuine impact. This is
• 5:47
  far superior to a superficial life. Anthony Hopkins once said, my philosophy is
• 6:05
  it's none of my business what people say of me and think of me.
• 6:11
  I am what I am, and I do what I do. I expect
• 6:15
  nothing and accept everything. It makes life so much easier. Yes, we
• 6:23
  live in a world where funerals are more important than the dead, marriage is
• 6:29
  more important than love, and looks are more important than the soul. We
• 6:34
  live in a packaging culture that despises content. It is important to look beyond
• 6:43
  the superficial. Thank you for joining us today. Please consider taking a moment
