CHOCOLATE DAY
MIND
Iyanla Vanzant 1953

*Don’t let anything bother you today – your highest most powerful self will not give in to negativity and this spirit is the key to everything you desire.

*Try this “whip/nae nae” workout in honor of NBA power forward Nene (pronounced Nae Nae)
SOUL
Tavis Smiley 1964
“I believe the biblical definition of faith, that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. I don’t know how one navigates this thing called life without having abiding faith in something. There are some times in certain situations that you have to believe, even when there is no evidence. You have to believe even when there are no signs that something is going to work out.”
*Have faith and truly believe that everything is going to work out today.
MONEY
Tyler Perry 1969
Perry shared that he quit several jobs to pursue his dream. He’s not suggesting that anyone just quit their jobs, but instead recognize that you still have to earn a living.
*You still have to earn a living, so don’t quit your day job…yet. Once you do find a way to turn your passion into payday, quit your job as soon as you can.
ENTERTAINMENT
Roald Dahl 1916 – watch Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Roald Dahl was a spy, an ace fighter pilot, a chocolate historian and a medical inventor.
*Watch the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory if you are sober. Watch the reboot starring Johnny Depp if you are stoned.

*What a day of chocolate! Eat some Milton Hershey chocolate spiced muffins while watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
Each drink is designed to resemble something from the books
“The Snozzberries Taste Like Snozzberries” (gin, Jägermeister, lemon, cinnamon foam, and snozberries, of course)
“Factory’s Special Chocolate Blend” (hot cocoa, cinnamon, fluff, mint, and bourbon or vodka)
“Goodie Goodie Gumballs,” which is made with tequila, St-Germain, bitter lemon, and white cranberry and is served in a gumball machine.
