Return to Your Babyhood Remember the good old days when you were a baby? When you never gave up, regardless of how many times you failed. What happened to those good old days? When you were learning how to walk, you fell down each and every time. On average 17 times per hour. Hundreds if not thousands of times. And what did you do? You got back up. Each and every time. No questions asked. Never taking failure as your final answer. And then, you succeeded. You never doubted yourself. You never overthought things. You never got in your way. If you are now doing these things, preventing yourself from succeeding, getting in your own way, doubting yourself, overthinking things, stop. You can do it. You have done it before. When you had far less capabilities and knowledge and support. Wishes for another great day, each one a gift, David/

Failure or Revelation? You never fail at anything, and that is the truth. What you are doing is revealing to yourself an area of improvement. It is important to realize this, because if you are not failing at something, you are not challenging yourself adequately. And if you are not challenging yourself, how do you make yourself a better person tomorrow than you are today? So please, fail at something often. Be a better person each and every day, because, Each day is a gift, David/

The God Rule Try this. In fact, everyone should try this. In place of or in addition to the “Golden Rule" ( defined as treating others as you would like to be treated). The God Rule. And this is applicable whether or not you believe in God. God being defined as a benevolent entity, creator of all matter, and source of all moral authority; a supreme being. Before you do anything, ask yourself, “What would God want me to do?”. And then do that. And no doubt, God would want me to wish you all, A great day, because, Each one is a gift. David/

How Many People Do You Depend Upon? Answer : 5,000 - 10,000 Question : How many people do you depend upon every day of your life? Point : Make sure you thank as many as you can along your way every day. And for those that you cannot thank directly (the overwhelming majority of them), keep them in your thoughts and prayers. Here is a small list of them and/or what they provide you with: Water (treatment plant operators, pipe fitters, repairmen, etc) Electricity (so many people in that) Energy (the people involved with oil, natural gas, nuclear power, etc) Transportation Food (planting, harvesting, processing, transporting, stocking, serving, etc) Safety and Security (national defense, state and local; police, firemen, etc) Truckers Manufacturing, hardware, software, clothing, and beyond Healthcare related (medications, doctors, nurses, affiliated professionals) Maintenance personnel Again, make sure to thank them or be thankful for them, Wishes for a great day to all, Each one a gift, David/

Leadership vs Victimhood Diagnosis: Victimhood One of the most diagnosed and at the same time, underdiagnosed problems in humans is “victimhood”. The diagnostic criteria for victimhood include: Being made to suffer or hurt Feeling helpless or stuck Externalizing blame (it’s not my fault) Focusing on what you cannot control It is augmented by a personal desire to want to have people feel sorry for you because of this, or to use it as an excuse for something, or doing nothing. It leads to small problems becoming large and oftentimes insolvable. There can be secondary gain present, which means that you may benefit from them. And there could be more to gain as you grow them. There is a cure, and the prescription is: Leadership Focusing on solutions Refusing to stay stuck in helplessness Taking responsibility for what you can control Growing through the challenges you face Be a leader, lead yourself, lead others - focus on winning each day. Because, Each day is a gift, David/

Every Parent is a Communist/Socialist “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs”, Karl Marx? No. Actually from a common slogan used within the socialist and communist movements a century before Marx. I would like to add that not all humans are communists or socialists, but all parents are. Having four children and lots of grandchildren and witnessing others in similar circumstances, I can attest to the veracity of my claim above. Why? To each child we give according to their needs, even if we need to take from others according to their abilities. And we are sensible enough to stop treating them like that as they grow up and become adults. Wishes for a great day to all, Each one a gift, David

100% Completely Game Changing. Turned my bbq world upside down. Not expecting that after decades time and hundreds of bbq’s. My tendency is to reverse sear my steaks. Cook them to the temperature I want while accounting for carryover cooking, letting them rest and the energy inside the steak dissipate, and then sear them. The problem is that I could never get whatever method I was going to use to sear them hot enough. Certainly not to 1500 degrees. And certainly not in 3-5 minutes. And that is what the Big Horn does, and that quickly. In fact, I used it during one of the recent snow storms in near zero degree weather. And wow, could not be happier. And there are a number of people who I have cooked lots of steaks for who have experienced the Big Horn, and each one of them, agrees - best steaks ever. Here in fact is a perfect and easy way to cook your steaks, with minimal effort and during the winter time. Use your sous vide ( https://www.eachdayagift.com/sous-vide ) and set the temperature to 133 degrees for medium rare. If you can, salt the steaks the day before using Maldon Sea Salt ( https://www.eachdayagift.com/maldon-sea-salt ). 2-3 hours in the sous vide depending on the thickness of the steak. Take them out of the bag, apply coarse black pepper and granulated garlic. Make sure you turn on your Big Horn a few minutes ahead of time. The steaks will take about 60 seconds per side, the sides of the steak 45-60 seconds and you are done. And get ready for a slice of heaven down here on Earth. And if you have to, you can cook other things on it too including fish, veggies, and pizza (it comes with a pizza stone).
