   Hi Joel (and Anon, if you’re reading this),

   Thanks for the inspiration! Thanks for putting it together like this in a single image that’s powerful and motivating. For challenging us to step up and do more. Doing the same as John–I’m going to print this off and read it every morning. Thank you.

   Oh, and this came at the perfect time. I was running a few minutes late at the gym and thought I should trim the last set of my last exercise to get to work on time. Then I refocused, pushed to finish it, and showered and changed in record time. Glad I did–I’d feel so guilty reading this if I hadn’t.

   Off to share!

   I would still love to know who wrote this. In case you “Anon” are reading these responses, I found this letter about a month ago, printed a copy, and placed it on my nightstand. The pic makes it sort of creepy but that’s not the point.

   Every morning my alarm clock goes off at 3:30 am. At 3:31 I flick on my light and grab this flimsy piece of paper and read every word as I have one finger on the snooze button and my brain is frantically going through a filing cabinet of excuses to go back to sleep. It’s a gladiator style battle. But your letter wins every time. Since that day I have felt like I am finally giving 100% towards this very minimal time on earth. I could go into detail about my challenges, goals, successes, blah, blah, blah, but who cares. The point is everything you’ve said is true. We must all ask ourselves every day, are we the farmer, or the cattle. I choose to be the farmer every morning and until I go to bed. And the results on several levels have been significant.

   Thank you for that whoever you are.

   With all the best,
