BODY

Michelle Wie 1989

“I want to really stay in the present and not be too anxious about the future or over-analyze the past,”

SOUL

Steve Young 1961

“As a Mormon, I am inspired daily by that which is plain and simple yet incomparable in its depth and personal impact. Through the gospel of Jesus Christ and through Christ’s Atonement in Gethsemane, my sins are paid as long as I believe in him, take his name, humble myself and repent.”

*As long as you believe, humble yourself and repent, your sins are forgiven.

MONEY

Fred Trump 1905

In the interest of one-upping his famous dad, Donald’s first major purchase (with the now-infamous $1 million loan from Fred) was a hotel in Manhattan.

FOLLOW THE HOOD ORNAMENT DAY

MIND

Henry Cavendish 1731

Henry Cavendish was among the most brilliant minds of the 18th century – he dropped out of school all together rather than talk in public.

Admit nervousness

All you have to do is admit that you are a bit nervous speaking to your audience.

The best way to do this is by joking about it. Here’s an example “On the way here, only God and I knew what I will be presenting. (looking a bit nervous) Now, only God knows.”

*Work on becoming a better speaker today. Yes, you need to do this.

BODY

Brett Favre 1969

Five days a week he got up at 7 a.m. for a 60- to 75-minute workout that simulated what he might go through in a typical game

He worked with medicine balls, bungee ropes and different kinds of weights to build up his strength and endurance.

*Train like Brett Favre did to be an “iron man” in the NFL.

SOUL

Andrew McCutchen 1986

“I had found my place on the team, but that team had had 20 straight losing seasons by 2013. Ouch! It was tough showing up at the park with a losing record, knowing that you’re trying your best, and letting down your fans.”

“I got on my knees. Lord, I love this game, but even if I didn’t have it, I know what can never be taken away, and that’s my love for you and your love for me. I want to do my best to help this team win. For the fans. For my family. For Coach Rutland. For Fort Meade and all the people who helped me and prayed for me.”

*Pray for what you want and know that God’s love for you can never be taken away.”

MONEY

Peter Coyote 1941

“I accepted the challenge, got my license as a registered representative entitled to be a stockbroker, and went into my dad’s business. But my dad had never taught me anything about money.”

“I had lived my whole life in judgment of this system and the people in it, and I just couldn’t pull off pretending to be one of them. It was a really bad time for me, and it led to a lot of drug use.”

*If your current job involves you having to pretend to be someone you are not – it’s time to look elsewhere.

ENTERTAINMENT

David Lee Roth 1954 – listen to Van Halen

“If you’re busy looking in the rear-view mirror and thinking about it as it goes by, you’re not following the hood ornament. I figure the rear-view mirror is just so you can see how good you look while you’re getting somewhere.”

*Follow the hood ornament and jam out to some Van Halen (David Lee Roth Van Halen of course) and some of Dave’s solo work as well. Cause nobody cares for me.

FOOD

Dale Earnhardt, Jr. 1974 – Dale Jr. Strangewich

Bite into a delicious Dale Earnhardt Jr. Strangewich made with Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise, bananas, and classic white bread.

• Evenly spread Hellmann’s® Real Mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice.

IMAGINE DAY

MIND

David Cameron 1966

“Stability. Security. The peace of mind that comes from being able to get a decent job and provide for your family, in a country that you feel has a good future ahead of it and that treats people fairly. In a nutshell, that is what people in Britain want – and what the Government I lead is dedicated to building.”

*As you continue with 365DOLF, this is what you are looking for in yourself. Hopefully you’ve found many of these things already. Stability. Security. Peace of mind. Decent job (looking for a better one). Providing for your family.

BODY

Annika Sorenstam 1970

“One of the first fundamentals in fitness and in golf is strengthening the core.  The core connects and stabilizes the upper and lower parts of the body. It is important throughout the swing to ‘stay connected and simply rotate your core. Through core strength training
and conditioning I was able to hit the ball longer with a smooth, easy swing. I was also able to stay fit, strong, and competitive throughout my golfing career.”

*Have your trainer put you through a core strengthening workout. Then play a round of golf.

SOUL

Mike Singletary 1958

“Because too many times in life there’s just one person that I met, just one thing that I heard, one movie that I saw, one song that was sung, that changed my life. So I’m always trying to stay awake to be in the moment, and capture the moments when they come, because they come and go all the time.”

*Stay awake to be in the moment – it will change your life.

MONEY

John O’Hurley 1954

“I felt that I understood the mistakes and took ownership of the mistakes that were made. So, I figured I could do it again.”

ENTERTAINMENT

John Lennon 1940

“If you can imagine a world of peace, if you can imagine a world with no denominations of religion – not without religion, whatever religion is – but without this divisive ‘My god is bigger than your god’ business…. Then, if you can imagine the possibility, then it can be true.”

*Lay in bed and listen to John Lennon for as long as you can today. Imagine.

FOOD

Bella Hadid 1996

BREAKFAST

“My go-to is an egg sandwich on a plain bagel. One time I wanted to be healthy and got a gluten-free bagel, but I promise you, they suck.”

LUNCH

“We break for lunch around 1 p.m. I’ll usually have salmon or chicken and veggies,”

SNACKS

“I order a lot of green juices and keep them around on set. I have ginger shots in a cooler, and I’ll drink one if I’m feeling low.”

SOUL

Jesse Jackson 1941

“If Dr. King and our civil rights movement have taught us anything, it’s the fundamental principle that all people deserve equal protection under the law. LGBT people deserve equal rights — including marriage equality. Discrimination against one group of people is discrimination against all of us.”

*Discrimination against one group of people is discrimination against us all. Everyone has the right to be miserable in a marriage.

MONEY

Travis Pastrana 1983

“Wake up every morning with a passion. Do what you do because you love it; there’s no amount of money worth risking your life for. But if you’re so passionate about it — and just to grow up around this Nitro Circus crew, where every single person is just full of life and passion and wakes up every day with a big smile on their face. I hope [my daughters] take that and realize that — if you like desk jobs or you like art museums or horses or whatever — if you love it, that’s what you should be doing.”

ENTERTAINMENT

TAMPER WITH AN ELECTION DAY

MIND

Yo-Yo Ma 1955

“I remember 20 years of having unbelievable children at home and falling asleep reading stories to them. I remember being impatient with my family members because I was so tired and stressed out. If I were to do it over again I would seriously look at the quality of decisions made during those years.”

*Listen to Yo-Yo Ma as you think about the quality of decisions that you are making. Are you too tired to spend quality time with your family? If yes, then you have life backwards.

BODY

Charles Woodson 1976

The easiest way to get into boxing is to take a boxing class like Woodson did.

*I know that Charles Woodson does this. I’ve seen him working out in a boxing gym in Orland0. I’m going back there today to take a class… You need to get another boxing workout in too.

SOUL

Bishop Desmond Tutu 1931

Cowell’s love of the Cartoon Network, American Spirit cigarettes, Sapporo beer and Barbados holidays all serve one purpose: keeping him happy.

“It’s the cause of cancer, heart attacks, diseases. If you’re stressed, you’re going to get ill.”

*Easier said than done, I know. Try downloading your money stress by writing it all down and getting it out of your head. Also, be like Simon Cowell and focus more on the things that you like to do.

ENTERTAINMENT

John Mellencamp 1951

John’s found that far too many people quit too soon in the face of early disappointment. While his own early efforts may have been faltering, he stayed with it–and that tenacity has been rewarded with the successes that continue to the present.

*Listen to Johnny Cougar, John Cougar, John Cougar Mellencamp, and John Mellencamp today.

FOOD

PORTUGUESE PIZZA DAY

MIND

Trevor Lawrence 1999

*What shift needs to be made in your way of thinking?”

BODY

Bruno Sammartino 1935

“I was working out three, sometime three and a half, hours a day with weights. I would work out in the morning because I wanted to be very rested up for the wrestling matches at night. So I would do a workout, then have a light breakfast, and then I would go to bed for a few hours. I would eat an early dinner no later than 3:00 so that it would be fully digested by the time I went in the ring. So yeah, I worked out very hard and heavy, but I always used to try and take a couple hours nap afterward just to recoup and rest up.”

*Work out for 3 hours this morning with weights. Have a light breakfast, then go to bed for 2 hours.

SOUL

Tony Dungy 1955

“What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?” 

“If football is your entire life, and you don’t have a relationship with the Lord, you’re going to be messed up, no matter how your life turns out. Even if you achieve fame and riches, if you forfeit your soul, it won’t profit you.”

*Don’t forfeit your soul for what you are aiming for in life. If you only follow the MONEY part of 365DOLF, you may become rich, but it won’t profit you. Think of donating to The Dungy Family Foundation.

MONEY

Lemieux wasn’t letting anything stop his athletic career – not even Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

*Let everyone know that you have more power than they know about.

MONEY

Brian Johnson 1947 – listen to AC/DC

https://www.unicef.org/people/people_susan_sarandon.html

*Help a friend today, without them knowing who did it.

MONEY

Al Sharpton 1954

Fortunately for Sharpton who owed taxes, the IRS isn’t too efficient. The IRS flubs 57% of tax collections.

One other big lesson from Al Sharpton owing back taxes? Records.

“Seven hours includes movie and dinner.”

*Listen to The Police and to Sting with your significant other for about 7 or 8 hours, including movie and dinner.
