Look for the * for today’s advice.
MINISTER OF DEFENSE DAY
MIND
Til Schweiger 1963
https://www.facebook.com/TilSchweiger/
Mr. Schweiger, your drive seems to be inexhaustible. Where do you get all that ambition?
Ambition has too many negative connotations for me. I want to do everything as well as possible. When I tackle something, I take it seriously – I have never liked dabbling in this and that. Unlike my two brothers, for example, I revised painstakingly for my school-leaving examination. I got up at five in the morning, did my workout routine from beginning to end, reviewed, went to school, and then reviewed and reviewed again after that. No parties, no going out. I’m just as determined when it comes to making my films – or actually everything in my life.
*Hopefully you haven’t been dabbling in this and that all year. When you took on this year, hopefully you took improving your mind, body, and soul seriously. If not, a whole new year starts in less than 2 weeks. Go into it with an inexhaustible drive and ambition.
BODY
Alexis Sanchez 1988

Split-stance squat with horizontal press
Start in a lunge position, your back knee an inch from the floor. Fully extend arms forward, while holding a medicine ball. Return to the start position and repeat. The aim is to stabilize and strengthen the lower body while moving the upper body to fend off an opponent.
Reps 8-12 Sets 3-4

SOUL
Reggie White 1961

“God didn’t do this for Reggie White. I didn’t ask God to heal me—I couldn’t believe he would do that. But other people prayed for me to be healed, and God answered so that people’s lives would be impacted.”

A Prayer for Healing Sick Family and Friends
Lord Jesus, thank you that you love [name of person who needs healing]. I know that you hate what their illness is doing to them/me. I ask that you would heal this disease, that you would have compassion and bring healing from all sickness.

*Take today to ask God to help heal someone that you are close to.
MONEY
Criss Angel 1967
Angel can afford Rolls-Royces and Lamborghinis and Jesuses because Believe, the spectacular he put on at the Luxor Las Vegas in partnership with Cirque du Soleil, together with his other ventures, has been generating about $70 million a year for him, say people familiar with Angel’s finances. That sum comprises millions of dollars from television, including foreign rights; road show versions of his act; magic kits and other merchandise; and sponsorships. More than a mere magician, Angel is a mini conglomerate with a remarkably diversified—and vital—brand.

What is a ‘Conglomerate’
A conglomerate is a corporation that is made up of a number of different, seemingly unrelated businesses. In a conglomerate, one company owns a controlling stake in a number of smaller companies, which conduct business separately. Each of a conglomerate’s subsidiary businesses runs independently of the other business divisions, but the subsidiaries’ management reports to senior management at the parent company.

Milano has served as an ambassador for UNICEF, something she said “brought a whole other side of fulfillment into my heart, into my being” and made her realize “how important it is to diversify who you are as a human and all the things that make you happy.”
