PLAY SCRABBLE DAY
MIND
Thomas Jefferson 1743
- Never put off till tomorrow what you can do to-day.
- Never trouble another for what you can do yourself.
- Never spend your money before you have it.
- Never buy what you do not want, because it is cheap; it will be dear to you.
- Pride costs us more than hunger, thirst and cold.
- We never repent of having eaten too little.
- Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly.
- How much pain have cost us the evils which have never happened.
- Take things always by their smooth handle.
- When angry, count ten, before you speak; if very angry, an hundred.
*Pick one of the above Thomas Jefferson practical life lessons to focus on today. For me, I’m going to focus on #1. I’m not going to put anything off until tomorrow. I’m taking care of everything that I can today.
BODY
Allison Williams 1988
“I do two different things. For cardio I do SoulCycle. I really don’t like to run, plus I have terrible knees and get bored on the elliptical. SoulCycle is basically a dance party on a bicycle, and you burn calories and it’s so fun. Then I also do Core Fusion at Exhale Spa locations. It mixes together Pilates and barre method. It’s really hard and kicks my butt, so those two together work perfectly.
*SoulCycle and a Core Fusion workout. Find a class or a workout online.
SOUL
Madalyn Murray O’Hair 1919
“An Atheist loves himself and his fellow man instead of a god. An Atheist accepts that heaven is something for which we should work now — here on earth — for all men together to enjoy. An Atheist accepts that he can get no help through prayer, but that he must find in himself the inner conviction and strength to meet life, to grapple with it, to subdue it and to enjoy it. An Atheist accepts that only in a knowledge of himself and a knowledge of his fellow man can he find the understanding that will help lead to a life of fulfillment.”
*A true leap of faith for some may be that the above description of an Atheist sounds pretty good.
MONEY
John Paul DeJoria 1944
John Paul DeJoria, co-founder of Paul Mitchell hair products and Patron tequila, grew up in the slums:
“I lived off $2.50 per day. When you’re down and out, you make with what you have and you learn how to survive … if you look at the glass half full.”
*Make with what you have and survive for now. Your dream business is coming!
