BLOW IT UP AND START OVER DAY

MIND

Nero 37

Pondering what to do, Nero had an idea.  Rome would remain the capital, but he would take advantage of the fire’s destruction to start again.  The city had to be rebuilt – why not make it truly magnificent?

*Act decisively today. Take advantage of any setbacks as an opportunity to rebuild and make the situation truly magnificent. Sometimes it’s best to “blow it up and start over”

BODY

*You should be proud of yourself. You’ve been working out for almost an entire year and the change should be exceptional. Continue to be positive and do this Jesse Lingard chest workout.

SOUL

Josh Norman 1987

He donated $100,000 and raised an additional $150,000 over a two-week period to assist residents of Puerto Rico after the island was ravaged by Hurricane Maria last fall.

Norman was named a “community MVP” by the NFL Players Association, which made a $10,000 contribution to a charity of his choice.

His Starz24 Foundation raised money to provide middle school students in DC with backpacks and school supplies and raised $100,000 for additional outreach programs.

But Norman doesn’t want credit. He wants help.

*Josh Norman is disappointed and he doesn’t want credit. He wants help. Think of donating to his Starz24 Foundation to help children in need.

MONEY

Unlike other public monuments, the Eiffel Tower was designed to make money from the very beginning.

*365DOLF is all about philanthropy, but make no mistake about it – the goal for any business is to make money.

No one had more swagger in the Reagan era than Don Johnson. As Miami Vice‘s Sonny Crockett, the undercover detective who lived on a houseboat with his pet alligator Elvis, he embodied masculine cool in the era of coke binges and Lamborghinis.

*Flashback to the 1980s and watch Don Johnson in the television show Miami Vice.

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.
