The Gun & Roses: How to stick to your guns and enjoy the roses of life during the Pandemic

By: Charles W. Boatright

Stick to Your Game Plan and We’ll Make It Through This Pandemic of COVID-19. We’ll Learn Really What Makes American Great Our True Grit:

I’m a natural-born optimist, I never give up trying to figure out how to achieve my objective, regardless of how long it takes me to achieve the objective. In order to be an optimist, it takes a lot of hard work, true grit, and persistence to turn all  of those failures into an achievement. As an optimist, I consider failure as the best way to build experience, because failure tells you exactly what you don’t want to do the next time.

Without failures, you couldn’t enjoy life, because it’s the failures that make one appreciate the achievements and the simple things in life, like roses. If this shut- down did one thing, it made us appreciate just how special simple things are in our lives. The real appreciation comes from us discovering how resourceful and self-reliant we can actually be of turning a trial into a triumph. Necessity is the mother of invention. I like to point to Herschel Walker’s story.

Herschel Walker bears out the importance of perseverance, being resourceful, and self-reliant. Herschel Walker, who by his own words, wasn’t even an average athlete. He describes how he was beaten up one day, because of his disability that he had, and this is what a great sportsman Herschel Walker is. He did describe the incident as being beaten up, but he described it as being woke up. And woke up is what Herschel Walker became.

Herschel Walker became one of the most elite athletes to have ever played football and other sports. He did it on his own by doing simple calisthenics of setups, pushup, and running. He finally got to play the game that launched his athletic career in Wrightsville, Georgia. ESPN did an excellent 30 for 30 special on Herschel Walker.

University of Pittsburgh Football Game

If you consider sports, we really don’t often think about the wins/losses, like you would think we would; but more like personal triumph over tragedy. Some of the greatest athletes in sports are like Barry Sanders and Dan Marino, who I got a chance to see play during my college days at PITT. They never got a chance to play in the Super Bowl. But they are phenomenal players.

The Statistics Data Underline the Importance of Fitness

Since we are having to stay at home more than we would like, take advantage of this and start your own Workout Program and Home Gym. If you look at the statistics from New Orleans, just from the underlying causes of death by COVID-19, you’ll see how important our Health is tied to our Fitness.
