On the eighth day God made (insert a heavy person's name here)... I've heard that line a million times, not always aimed at me, of course. Day eight has come and gone, and nine should be here soon. It's awesome to think that what I'm doing has even remotely inspired anyone to consider changing their lifestyle to live more healthy.
I was reading a great American classic today, during my spare time at school. The infamous "Godfather" by Mario Puzo. Can't say I've ever read it before. I didn't even see the movie until I was in college, but it's been ingrained into my favorites forever. Of course, the book is much different from the actual movie. There's a bunch of side stories with Johnny Fontaine, as well as Luca Brasi. One line that just jumped out at me, and I posted on my facebook is
"There's no greater natural advantage in life than having an enemy overestimate your faults, unless it's having a friend underestimate your virtues." - Don Vito Corleone
What intrigues me the most about the character of Don Corleone, is as ruthless as he is, he's equally if not more generous in his virtues. He always wants the person he helps to return the favor at a later point, but he always gives way more generously than what he receives back. I appreciate all of you encouraging me on this journey! I would love encourage you all as well. Thank you for being the accountability I was looking for! You guys are like my Don Corleone, except I doubt you'll have a horse's head put in my bed...
Life is good! My next big show is June 5th in Middletown, OH. Keep checking back for more info!
