NEW YEAR’S DAY – 2020

Day 1 of 365 Days of Living Famously

 

MIND

Paul Revere 1735

*Paul Revere gets all of the credit for his midnight ride. Very few people know that William Dawes was also involved. Be Paul Revere this year. Control the narrative in your life and take credit for what you deserve. Don’t be William Dawes.

BODY

Morris Chestnut 1969

*Follow along with Morris Chestnut’s 10-minute workout and think about making it your go-to workout this year.

SOUL

John Smith 1580 and Pocahontas 1595

*Yes they share a birthday, but their people could not overcome their differences.  Use this year to recognize the differences in the people around you and embrace what makes them different from you.

MONEY

Betsy Ross 1752

*She worked hard for others, but it was to keep her upholstery business alive.  By the end of this year, hopefully you will realize how important it is to strive for your own business – not to make someone else rich.

ENTERTAINMENT

Verne Troyer 1969 – watch Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002)

*The last and best of the Austin Powers trilogy.  Maybe start a New Year’s Day tradition of watching all three.  Use Verne Troyer’s character “Mini Me” as inspiration to start the New Year.

FOOD

JD Salinger 1919

The Catcher in the Rye (1951)

I’m a very light eater. I really am. That’s why I’m so damn skinny. I was supposed to be on this diet where you eat a lot of starches and crap, to gain weight and all, but I didn’t ever do it. When I’m out somewhere, I generally just eat a Swiss cheese sandwich and a malted milk. It isn’t much, but you get quite a lot of vitamins in the malted milk.

*Start a New Years Day tradition of a swiss cheese sandwich (on rye) and a malted milk

WHO GOT SNUBBED? J. Edgar Hoover 1895

To review –

  • Control the narrative
  • Morris Chestnut 10-minute workout
  • Embrace the differences in people
  • Your current job is a way to make money for your future business
  • Watch Goldmember
  • Swiss cheese on rye and a malted milk

I was born in Northwestern Pennsylvania and lived in a trailer park. I was raised by very conservative and religious (Wesleyan Methodist) parents. By some miracle I graduated college and moved to Florida. I have been a public school teacher since 1995. I have 7 years until I can retire. I was married in 1999 and divorced in 2001. I remarried in 2017 to Kate - 21 years my junior. Some of my life experiences as a 46-year-old, white American male, will come through in my writing, but the majority of this daily journey will be dedicated to improving myself, and hopefully you as well.
