July 4

BORN ON  THE 4TH OF JULY DAY

MIND

Calvin Coolidge 1872

“You can’t know too much, but you can say too much.”

*For a guy nicknamed “Silent” Cal, this speaks volumes. Speak as little as possible today.

BODY

The Situation 1982 – your playbook for today

1) Eat every few hours. Aim for six small meals per day—three meals and three protein shakes.

2) Drink tons of water.

3) Choose lean proteins, fruits, and veggies.

4) Get six to eight hours of sleep.

5) Avoid simple carbs and junk calories.

*Sound advice from the Situation. Much better than GTL (gym, tan, laundry). Use this as your eating playbook today. Splurge with a canteen dog to celebrate the 4^th.

SOUL

Bill Withers 1938

Unconvinced that music would pay off, he held on to his day job until he was laid off in the months before the album’s release.

*Listen to Bill Withers today – it’s good for your soul.

MONEY

George Steinbrenner 1930

Steinbrenner believed that he would always get what he paid for, and so he was willing to pay the very most.

*I know the goal is to save money, but think long term when buying things like a car or a washing machine. Get the best and save money in the long run.

ENTERTAINMENT

Ron Kovic 1946 – watch Born on the Fourth of July

THEY CONSIDERED ACTUALLY PARALYZING TOM CRUISE.

There is a nerve agent that would paralyze Cruise for a few days, and Cruise was open to the idea of using it.

*Yesterday was Tom Cruise’s birthday (born on the 3^rd of July), watch him play the role of Ron Kovic today in Born on the Fourth of July.

FOOD

Andrew Zimmern 1961 – Canteen Dog and caramel apple pie.

The only way to improve on a classic apple pie is to layer the filling with decadent homemade caramel sauce.
