the Strangest Guy on TV
Can you imagine talking to someone 73 times, but never
really getting to know them.
Working with each other for almost 15 weeks, but still
be strangers.
I know it sounds funny, but it's all in a day's work
on Jeopardy!
The reigning champ, Ken Jennings, won 73 games in a
row. And he spoke to Alex Trebek every day during the
contestant interviews.
But even after all those days together, they really didn't
know each other. They couldn't, even if they wanted to,
to be fair to the other contestants, no favoritism, etc...
My wife and I joke that after the first five days or
so, he probably ran out of interesting stories to tell,
so it would be, "So Ken, what'd you have for breakfast?
How was the ride to the studio this morning?"
That got me thinking about how most folks have been with
themselves every day of their life, but still be a
stranger.
That's the biggest tragedy in life (in my opinion), is
to miss yourself. To be too concerned about fitting in,
so worried about what others think, or what you 'should'
do/be/have, that you hide your true self.
Because when you hide yourself from Me, you also hide
yourself from YOU.
Or, you may not be concerned about what others think, and
you may not be afraid to express yourself...you just get
distracted or sidetracked...but you miss yourself anyway.
They say it's OK to talk to yourself, as long as you don't
start answering. Most of us don't answer...but we don't
listen, either.
How many days have you tuned yourself out?
That could mean ignoring your body's signals of hunger,
thirst, need to rest, need to move. Ignoring your
instincts to speak, or be silent.
Or ignoring your wants, desires and goals. Your
unique contribution.
Ken Jennings reached his goal of winning on Jeopardy;
he's got quite a Mind.
So do you. And it's time you got reacquainted.
Live like You Mean it...

PS Your Mind is not confined to your brain, but it
works over and thru the brain and nervous system.
That's why keeping your brain strong is A-#1 priority
to keep your Mind strong.
Each nutrient in the Core Four

works overtime to keep your grey matter, white matter,
nuclei, tracts, nerves and ganglia well-fed, happy and
productive. The good news is that you don't have to know
what any of those things are for it to work.
It's automatic, by design. And fish oil is the
Mack Daddy of them all.

Your brain prefers the long-chain fatty acids found
in fish oil, and needs them to keep you chugging thru
the day ('chugging' is a technical term that means
thinking, metabolism, control and coordination of the
immune system and other eight major body systems...
stuff like that)
PPS my friend Jud tests his wits on Jeopardy tomorrow, so
tune in and cheer him on.
