projectSEMPER Podcast: Recent Episodes
Scott Schroeder
The following is a mashup of the definitions of fit and fitness: of a suitable quality to meet the required purpose, having the requisite qualities to undertake something competently, in good health, an organism’s ability to survive in a particular environment.Funny… nowhere did it say, “Looks like Barbie and can crush walnuts with buttocks.” Find the road to fitness of the body that works for you. It's not about how you look. It's about two questions. Can you execute your life effectively? Are you able to engage in the activities that bring you fulfillment?
If I die tomorrow, I’m not going to spend cosmic eternity lamenting the years I wasn’t hungover, sitting my fat ass on the couch incapable of interacting with the world, and taking prescription meds for diabetes, heart problems, anxiety, depression, and general malaise. I’m going to be pretty stoked that I turned back in a positive, healthy direction and was as strong and capable as I was able to be so I could spend those years living rather than being trapped in a worthless, poisoned shell.
If you think it’s a worthy endeavor to be a Self Engendering Machine of Perpetual Effectiveness & Resolve, but you don’t know where to start or how to start, then take a listen.
How much useless crap can we pass around to one another while lining the pockets of the enemies of humanity?
That thing we call small talk at social gatherings could actually be meaningful with some thought and effort.

A clip from the newest element of the projectSEMPER media effort featuring my good friend and ideation associate, Jennifer Friedman.

Nothing can fix everything. Accept that. But, one good step can begin to mend broken parts of your life. Especially if that one good step is executed with resolve. Determine where you’re going and what you’re doing before you step off. When you do, stand upright, lean into your task, and move with a sense of purpose.
There are things in your life that need doing; things that enable your day to unfold more efficiently, things that make the space around you a better place to be, things that get you closer to being the best version of yourself.
Don’t think of a routine as boring and restrictive, because not every moment of your day needs a plan. Allow time for stuff and nonsense between tasks. Build your routine as a framework to support your ability to get things done that are necessary to live a productive life, and enable you to enjoy the things that are part of a gratifying life.
As we push deeper into the heart of darkness that is our complete immersion in the land of make-believe, authenticity is a fundamental value that needs fortification and guardianship more than ever. Be honest with yourself first and above all, then present your most authentic self to the world.
Fitness isn’t a diet or exercise routine. Fitness is a lifestyle. Your body is a machine, food is the fuel, exercise is the toolbox of the mechanic, and that is you.
The concept of mindfulness often leads more action-oriented individuals to envision some manifestation of physical weakness. Perhaps a low-talking, new-agey, cat fancier with a coexist sticker on the rear window of their hybrid. Practicing mindfulness isn't the domain of man-bun-weed-and-sandals guy.
Everyone’s perception of a philosophy or set of standards or way of living or anything else in the realm of thought is, by its very nature, open to personal interpretation. Even the way we perceive what we call reality varies by degree depending on the individual.
Every now and then, and often at just the right time, the universe will remind you, in spite of whatever jackassery du jour is currently eroding what remains of your sanity, that things will be okay.
