MIND

The message Goethe is trying to send us isn’t a plea to understand him, or that we become like him, but rather that like him we should take courage in an infinitely more worthwhile task — that of becoming ourselves.

*Continue to work on becoming yourself.

BODY

LeAnn Rimes 1982

Besides sculpting her body, boxing also relieves her from stress and boosts the flow of adrenaline in her body.

*Do another boxing workout today – to sculpt your body, relieve stress, and boost the flow of adrenaline through your body. 

SOUL

David Soul 1943

“I’ve got a better handle on family perspective today. In the days when I was – as they used to call me – “one of the biggest stars in television”, I got the balance wrong. The caring about what I looked like, what I sounded like, what I represented to other people was more important than being with my family. That was the sadness of that period but it doesn’t mean I don’t have time for other people now.”

*Re-balance. Being with your family is more important than anything else today, and every day.

MONEY

Armie Hammer 1986

“Oh, it just takes hard work? Why didn’t anybody tell me this? And someone probably did, but I didn’t listen because I was an idiot.”

*Listen. Don’t be an idiot. It just takes hard work. 

ENTERTAINMENT

*Shania Twain is from Canada – so get some McDonald’s fries and turn them into poutine. Listen to a mix of her music, LeeAnn Rimes, and Tenacious D while making them.

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.
