Inspiration can come from many sources, including a world-renowned, legendary boxer like Muhammad Ali. During his heyday, Ali was in a class of his own. He had an agile body, quick feet, and a clever tongue; and he adroitly leveraged all these strengths to gain a physical and psychological edge over his opponents. Outside the ring, Ali was a man of conviction, from his conversion to the Nation of Islam and subsequent name change (from Cassius Clay), to his refusal to serve in the U.S. Army and vocal opposition to the Vietnam War. He was also known as a warm, kind-hearted, generous man with lots of love to give, which he poured out on family, friends, fans, and children. In Ali’s book The Soul of a Butterfly: Reflections on Life's Journey authored with his daughter Hana Yasmeen Ali, his warmth shines through as his shares his inspiring recipe for a good life
