HAPPY DAY
MIND
Colin Powell 1937
Powell says that back when he was a lost 17-year-old at City College of New York, ROTC “saved” him and kept him in school.
“I found my place. I found discipline, I found structure, I found people that were like me and I liked, and I fell in love with the Army those first few months in ROTC, and it lasted for the next 40-odd years,”
*Hopefully you have found your place, your discipline. If not, it’s never too late. It might be too late to join ROTC, but you can always find structure and people that are like you.
BODY
Hayley Atwell 1982
‘I did various detoxes, hard running every day and endless lunges and squats. I was in the best physical condition I’ve ever been in.’
*Bullies once called her ‘Fatwell’ but look at her now. Today’s tasks include a detox, hard running, lunges, and squats.
SOUL
Booker T. Washington 1856
Determined to educate himself, he traveled hundreds of miles under great hardship until he arrived — broke, tired, and dirty — at Hampton Institute
*Educate yourself today by reading Up From Slavery by Booker T. Washington. You won’t even have to be broke, tired, and dirty to read it.
MONEY
Pharrell Williams 1973
“Clap along if you feel like a room, without a roof.”
*Listen to Pharrell Williams sing ‘Happy’ and know that you are limitless, unconstrained, and free. You’re unrestricted by any obstacles, short comings, and limitations. Your financial future has no roof!
ENTERTAINMENT
Gregory Peck 1916 – watch To Kill a Mockingbird
