2) Physical - An Uncommon Life

A Genuine Interest (Friends)


  • " 1As soon as he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. 2And Saul took him that day and would not let him return to his father’s house. 3Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul. 4And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his belt. 5And David went out and was successful wherever Saul sent him, so that Saul set him over the men of war. And this was good in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of Saul’s servants." // 1 samuel 18:1 (ESV)

  • "We think more often about the benefits we might receive than the benefits we might be able to give. Rarely do people develop friendships based on the opportunities they give to pour into someone else's Life ... Dale Carnegie said
    you can make more friends in two weeks by genuinely showing
    interest in them than you can make in two years by trying
    to get them interested in you."
    // Tony Dungy

3) Emotional - The Daily Pressfield

Day 10 - Bananas


  • How old was Pressfield when he met the Gorilla at the loading dock in New Orleans and shared a banana breakfast with him ?
  • I suspect he was about the same age as me when I dropped out of medical school.
