ACADEMY AWARD WINNING ACTOR DAY

MIND

Charlton Heston 1923

“I wish for you the courage to be unpopular. Popularity is history’s pocket change. Courage is history’s true currency.”

*Have the courage to be unpopular today. Watch Heston win an Oscar in Ben Hur for motivation.

BODY

Derrick Rose 1988

*Get to a basketball court (not the bar) and take 400 shots today.

SOUL

Susan Sarandon 1946

“Everyone has a responsibility towards this larger family of man, but especially if you’re privileged, that increases your responsibility. I want them to understand the joy of empowerment, of service. I want them to understand that doing the right thing is a joyful experience, that it isn’t a grind.”

*Understand that you have a responsibility towards mankind and that doing the right thing is a joyful experience. Think of donating to UNICEF to make a difference for children around the world. You can also watch Sarandon win an Oscar in Dead Man Walking for a daily dose of soul.

MONEY

Russell Simmons 1957

Now is the time to take charge of your personal finances.

1. Start with small steps.
2. Start when you’re young.
