CONNECT TO THE BELOVED DAY
MIND
Til Schweiger 1963
“I want to do everything as well as possible. When I tackle something, I take it seriously – I have never liked dabbling in this and that. I got up at five in the morning, did my workout routine from beginning to end, reviewed, went to school, and then reviewed and reviewed again after that. No parties, no going out. I’m just as determined when it comes to making my films – or actually everything in my life.”
*When you took on this year, hopefully you took improving your mind, body, and soul seriously. If not, a whole new year starts in less than 2 weeks.
How can you go into next year with an inexhaustible drive and ambition?
BODY
Jennifer Beals 1963
When she feels the most beautiful: After yoga or after sex.
“Don’t you just feel so juicy and wonderful and loving?”
“The yoga is the connection to the divine and the sex is the connection to the beloved,”
*Connect to the divine, connect to the beloved, or both.
Which was better? Yoga or sex?
SOUL
Reggie White 1961
“God didn’t do this for Reggie White. I didn’t ask God to heal me—I couldn’t believe he would do that. But other people prayed for me to be healed, and God answered so that people’s lives would be impacted.”
*Who did you ask God to help heal?
MONEY
Abigail Johnson 1961
“Don’t get caught up with trying to get a specific job title, because a title in one company could mean something completely different in another. Instead, focus on obtaining new skills, more education, and new experiences. Always bring your whole self to work and get involved in the communities where you work and live—if you do this, you’ll have a lasting impact and find more meaning in your job.”
*With your current job, describe how you will focus on obtaining –
new skills
more education
and new experiences
