BODY BLOW DAY

MIND

Jim Nantz 1959

“People say ‘dream big,’ that’s kind of one of those motivational sayings, but I would dream hard, meaning I just wanted it so badly, I could feel it.”

*Dream hard today. Also say “hello friends” to everyone you encounter.

What do you want so badly, that it hurts?

BODY

Tony Parker 1982

“This year I wanted to get stronger. I think if I want to prolong my career and if I want to be here a long time I need to take care of my body and pay attention more to what I eat, get sleep, and make sure I work out every day.”

*Take today to get stronger, pay attention to what you eat, and get enough sleep.

“Heaven keeps good records & I have no reason to lie!!! I met the young lady when I moved to L.A a broken mess & God used her to keep me from committing suicide twice!!”

*God sends us people to help. Don’t ignore the people who are sent to you.

Who has God sent to help you?

MONEY

Nikki Reed 1988

On her first investment… “The very first thing I wanted to do when I could afford it was buy a tiny piece of income property—it was more important for me to do that than buy a house for myself.”

*How can you buy a tiny piece of income property by the end of this year?

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.
