YOU WILL SURVIVE DAY

MIND

Kevin Love 1988

“In the short time I’ve been meeting with the therapist, I’ve seen the power of saying things out loud in a setting like that. And it’s not some magical process. It’s terrifying and awkward and hard, at least in my experience so far. I know you don’t just get rid of problems by talking about them, but I’ve learned that over time maybe you can better understand them and make them more manageable.”

*If you need help, confront that fact today and seek out talking to a therapist.

BODY

“Sugar” Shane Mosley 1971

“I get up in the morning, 6 or 7 am, and do my routine. Eat a well-balanced diet. Egg whites, oatmeal and blueberries. Once I get on a regimen, my body just kind of clicks in—soon as the sun hits my face in the morning.

Everyone’s focusing on boxing, thinking about boxing. If your mind’s floating down different avenues you just won’t be focused.”

Phil McGraw 1950

“The authentic self is the you that can be found at your absolute core. It is the part of you not defined by your job, function or role. It is the composite of all your skills, talents and wisdom. It is all of the things that are uniquely yours and need expression, rather than what you believe you are supposed to be and do.”

When you are asked about Buddhism, are there certain themes you return to that you feel are helpful, such as compassion?

“Absolutely. I will probably discuss wisdom and compassion in some form, that there are two poles we are here to explore—expanding our minds and expanding our hearts.

John McCain 1936

In a family memoir, a campaign ad as well as a televised interview with megachurch pastor Rick Warren, he recalled a guard in his prisoner of war camp in Vietnam who shared his faith one Christmas.

“He stood there for a minute, and with his sandal on the dirt in the courtyard, he drew a cross and he stood there,”

“And a minute later, he rubbed it out, and walked away. For a minute there, there were just two Christians worshiping together.”

Asked what being a Christian means, McCain replied: “It means I’m saved and forgiven.”

*If John McCain can share a moment of worship with one of his Vietnam War POW guards, you can share your faith with anyone. Senator McCain passed away in the middle of me writing this (2018). May he Rest In Peace.

MONEY

Iris Apfel 1921

“If you’re happy, have found love, are surrounded by good people, doing what you like and giving back to others, that’s success. Selling your soul for a buck is not worth the real price you pay — not to me, anyways.” 

*I’m sure that the MONEY part of 365DOLF has grown confusing to some. One day it may suggest that it’s all about making money and on another day there may be a suggestion on how to give it away. The bottom line is what Iris has suggested, if you’re happy, have found love, surrounded by good people, doing what you like, and giving back – that’s success.

David Soul 1943

“I’ve got a better handle on family perspective today. In the days when I was – as they used to call me – “one of the biggest stars in television”, I got the balance wrong. The caring about what I looked like, what I sounded like, what I represented to other people was more important than being with my family. That was the sadness of that period but it doesn’t mean I don’t have time for other people now.”

*Re-balance. Being with your family is more important than anything else today, and every day.
