Maximus & Me And Arnold Schwarzenegger!

For 18 years now, my morning has been an immense gift. 

The ritual of feeding Max would cast all my worries away. Max had an unique routine. While I am prepping his breakfast, he would start playing with his toys or ball. I would be commenting continuously and Max would jump and run around bringing his toys to me and I would throw it.  Those five or so minute rituals were the perfect way to start my day. 

Now with Neo, Fluffy and Garph the morning ritual continues but they are different from Max. 

Neo, Fluffy and Garph crowd the kitchen making impatient voices while I am prepping their breakfast. It's different dynamics than Max but yet its beautiful. 

The ritual for the last 18 years is very similar to... I never thought I would write this... it's very similar to Arnold's morning routine with his animals (donkey, pony, dog and pig)!

Plus like Arnold I don't check my emails etc., until I feed them. 

Listen to his interview here

His words: 

I wouldn’t know how life would be life without them. It is amazing how much joy can bring to your home. It’s unlike anything else the amount of fun they provide. 

I developed a deep respect for Arnold when he became a Vegan. Here's a man who achieved everything in life by eating meat but yet he quit eating meat and became a vegan, 

So if you want to get inspired don't watch his classic documentary "Pumping Iron" instead watch his Game Changers documentary.
