TRUE GRIT DAY

MIND

Helena Bonham Carter 1966

“Confidence comes and goes in life, at different ages and different times. A bit like… tides. You definitely get more of it as you get older.”

*Each day 365DOLF focuses on famous people getting older, but so are you. With that aging comes added confidence.

BODY

Lenny Kravitz 1964

“Take a picture of yourself, do this routine at least 3 times a week for a month and take another picture – including the big grin on your face!”

*Take a picture of yourself. Then do Lenny’s workout. When you take a picture of yourself next year on his birthday, you will see a new you.

SOUL

Dr. Jack Kevorkian 1928

“Dr. Kevorkian, My son is dying of Lou Gehrig’s disease. … He would like your help to leave this world and free his soul to everlasting life,”

After Dr. Kevorkian assisted in her son’s suicide, she wrote again: “It is impossible for me to express the blessing of your assistance and the gratitude I feel as a mother.”

*My wife knows that I do not want to live in a vegetative state. She is to pursue all means of me leaving this world and freeing my SOUL.

What are your thoughts on this?

Make sure your loved ones know.

MONEY

Hank Williams, Jr. 1949

“Well now money can’t buy you happiness but neither can poor ole me
Money won’t help you very much if you wanna find true love
But that don’t mean just being poor will make you better off”

*Don’t be a martyr. All things equal, go for the money. Don’t strive to be poor – you won’t be able to help anyone, most importantly yourself. Strive to be rich and then give it all away if you truly want to be poor. Listen to Hank Williams, Jr. for motivation.

How could money buy you happiness?

ENTERTAINMENT

John Wayne 1907 – watch True Grit (1969)

*Have true grit and watch John Wayne win an Oscar in… True Grit. Pilgrim

FOOD

Stevie Nicks 1948

“As for me, whenever I’m sick, the only thing I can tolerate is Mexican food!”

In 1998, Lucy Lawless did an impression of Stevie Nicks imagined as the owner of a bad Mexican restaurant – Stevie Nicks’ Fajita Roundup

*Find a Hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant and get some Stevie Nicks fajitas.

BONUS: Sally Ride 1951 – make a Ride Sally Ride cocktail for a nightcap.
