DON’T BE AN ASSHOLE DAY

MIND

Justin Verlander 1983

“He’s not an asshole,”

“I’ve been around a lot of stars in my day. He gets it. For someone who virtually has everyone’s dream life and dream ability, he gets it.” – former Houston Astros manager

*All-Star, MVP, Cy Young winner, World Series champ, and married to a super model. If Verlander isn’t an asshole, you can’t be one. 

BODY

Charles Barkley 1963

“When I got to Philadelphia, Dr. J., Moses Malone, Maurice Cheeks, they never practiced,”

“They’d sit on the side or on the stationary bike eating McDonald’s. Once I had been in the league X amount of years, I adopted that philosophy.”

*Go to McDonald’s. Buy one cheeseburger. Then drive to the gym and eat said cheeseburger while riding a stationary bike. If anyone asks, just simply say that it’s Charles Barkley’s birthday. Keep pedaling until you’ve burned off all 300 calories and then move on to your favorite workout.

SOUL

Sidney Poitier 1927

“God, is for all of us. It is not a God for one culture, or one religion, or one planet.”

*If we could all think like Poitier, the world would be a much better place.

MONEY

Cindy Crawford 1966

“Life goes by quickly, and I’ve learned that decisions made from a place of confidence—rather than one of fear—are the ones that get me to the place I want to be.”

“Even the times I failed were the best lessons.” 

*Have confidence in every financial decision that you make. Even if your dream business fails, use it as a learning tool.

ENTERTAINMENT

Kurt Cobain 1967

*Be interested in the well-being of others as you listen to Nirvana and Kurt Cobain’s acoustic songs too.

FOOD

Rihanna 1988

Breakfast: four hard-boiled eggs, one slice of toast without the crust, and a mix of berries.

Lunch: salad with fish

Dinner: chicken curry with rice and peas

*Eat like Rihanna for every meal today.

SNUB – Trevor Noah 1984
