“By perseverance, study, and eternal desire, any man can become great.”

“Never stop being ambitious. You have but one life, live it to the fullest of glory and be willing to pay any price.”

*On this Veterans Day, listen to the words of General Patton to become great.

BODY

Demi Moore 1962

The Demi Moore workout and diet are what she used to become G.I Jane. Transforming into Lieutenant Jordan O’Neil, the first female Navy SEAL, was not an easy task.

For G.I. Jane, the Demi Moore workout would start at 4:00 am.

  • 1 hour cardio on Treadmill (@2% Incline) with Abs Intervals
  • 1-2 hours weightlifting: Chest / Shoulders

*Get up at 4 am and try this Demi Moore – GI Jane workout. Watch the movie for motivation.

SOUL

Lee Haney 1959

To Lee, Success is more about fulfillment than trophies or titles (he was 8-time Mr. Olympia), so in 1994, he and his wife purchased a forty acre farm near their home and created the Haney Harvest House, a non-profit retreat facility for children of all races, creeds, and nationalities.

“I wanted to be able to give something back. I’ve been so fortunate to have a lot of good things come my way, and it all comes from values I learned from growing up. If we don’t take time now to give some of that back to this generation then when will we?”

*A great example of BODY and SOUL. Take time now to give back.

MONEY

Have a vision, an outcome in mind and let that steer your decisions. Belfort didn’t get rich “by accident” – he got rich “on purpose”.

*Know what you want.  Look to the future and figure out what you want and how you’re going to get there. Get rich “on purpose” – watch Leonardo DiCaprio win an Oscar in The Wolf of Wall Street for motivation.

Leonardo is a guy that we could have used for all the topics today. Check out his website for motivation for your mind, body, and soul.

ENTERTAINMENT

Kurt Vonnegut 1922 – Read Slaughterhouse Five

HE GRADED ALL HIS BOOKS.

He gave himself an A+ for his writing in Cat’s Cradle and Slaughterhouse-Five but wasn’t as generous with Happy Birthday, Wanda June or Slapstick, which both received Ds.

*This is my favorite book, so I intend to start rereading it every year on this day. You can watch the movie along with Lovely BonesGI Jane, and The Wolf of Wall Street. Good thing your day is starting at 4 am.

FOOD

Stanley Tucci 1960 – Pan-Seared Loin of Venison with Red Wine, Juniper, and Redcurrant

“Deer can be so plentiful, but people are still wary of eating venison. If you are one of those people, you can substitute beef tenderloin here, but I would argue that venison has a richer, deeper flavor, not to mention being much leaner.”

In The Tucci Table Stanley Tucci and his wife Felicity Blunt share the recipes that have become staples in their own home.

*Growing up in Western PA, I ate a lot of deer meat. I don’t think we called it venison much. Anyways, enjoy Stanley Tucci’s pan seared loin of venison while watching him almost win an Oscar in Lovely Bones.

THE WOLF OF WALL STREET

DRINKING GAME

The Wolf of Wall Street drinking game had to exist. There might not be another movie in existence that inspires it’s audience to want nothing more than to be rich as f*ck, living a life of luxury where you consume drugs and alcohol virtually all day, every day. Lets drink!

*Wash this whole day down with The Wolf of Wall Street Drinking Game.

SNUB – Abigail Adams 1744

  • Be inspired by George Patton
  • 4 am G.I. Jane workout
  • Take time to give back
  • Get rich “on purpose”
  • Start reading Slaughterhouse Five
  • Make Pan-Seared Loin of Venison

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.
