YOU CAN’T SEE ME DAY

MIND

William Shakespeare 1564 (died April 23, 1616)

Shakespeare had a power which is rarely absent from great poets, the power of absorbing the fruits of reading.

*Read. You should still have a book that was suggested to you. Take time and read today – maybe start reading Shakespeare.

*Use today to hit a new max on your main lifts. Bench, squat, deadlift.

SOUL

Gigi Hadid 1995

It can only be a good thing for a new generation in the US to grow up seeing names like “Hadid” and “Malik” and for their first thought to be a heart emoji and not “Ugh, terrorist”.

*What are your first thoughts when you hear the word “Muslim” or “Islam”?

MONEY

Michael Moore 1954

“Actually, the number one reason for people being foreclosed upon is because they don’t have health insurance, and they’ve been paying medical bills and now they can’t pay their mortgages,”

*Make sure you have the right health insurance for you. Watch Capitalism: A Love Story for motivation.

ENTERTAINMENT

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.
