The Fit Old Doc

Great time with great friends enjoying San Francisco. Pretty much hit all the highlights including a sunset cruise, Giants baseball game, Fisherman’s Wharf, and Alcatraz. Not bad for a three day tour!

Words to live by…
“I was born with a happy heart. I’ve always tried to let that shine even during my dark times. I’m one of those people who, even if things are not right, goes about trying to make it as right as I can rather than just lying around on my ass and wallowing in it all day. I think, “Well, I can either do this or I can do that.” I choose to get up and try to make it better if I can...

Of course, I try to improve every day. If there’s a better outfit, I want to wear it. If there’s a better song, I want to write it. If there’s a better record, I want to record it. If there’s a better movie, I want to make it. I will continue to be as good as I can be. And I intend to keep coming up with new ideas all the time.”

Hey Bo. What are you doing?

“Waiting for my friend Bobbi to finish up her acupuncture treatment.”

That’s sweet. Do you know she is 88 years old?

“What’s that in dog years?”

Sorry buddy. I’m not good at math. That’s why I went into biological science. A calculator is the only thing I need.

Short on time? You can still gain muscle and strength!

Taken together, the evidence suggests that drop-set training can produce results similar to traditional resistance training in less time but at the cost of greater fatigue and discomfort, which makes them a useful tool to incorporate strategically into training rather than as a wholesale replacement for traditional resistance training.

My new book will be coming soon! Working with Amazon to get it published. I’ll drop some chapters to give you an idea of the content. Generally speaking, it’s a book designed to help you navigate the challenges we all face, using short stories and practical wisdom on topics such as gratitude, reflection, purpose, faith, service, and love to help you live the life you desire! Stay tuned…

Pain + Resistance = Suffering

According to the Buddhist tradition, suffering occurs when we complain, blame, or indulge in self-pity when trials arise (which they ALWAYS will). The idea isn’t to seek pain. Avoid it if possible. But when the first arrow strikes (pain), avoid the second arrow (resistance).

Plug yourself in! ❤️🧠

Sound harsh? These are the words of a dying man. Randy Pausch is known for his “Last Lecture” video. He refused to let circumstances control his actions.

When you take responsibility for your life, you also take back control. Not necessarily of the outcome (Randy eventually passed from his cancer), but in how you deal with whatever situation arises. Responsibility is simply “the ability to respond.” YOU get to choose how you show up.

👊🏻You got this!

Sorry, Bo, but you’ve already had your treat for today…🥺

Don’t buy WISDOM, borrow it.

🧐 When you borrow the wisdom of others (who are always happy to share), you save yourself the cost of paying the price of “learning the hard way.” Capitalize on the lessons learned from others. It’s the best investment you can make.
