Dear Reader,

I’ve been doing some reading about the HEROES act, which seems to be another point of debate brewing up recently in Washington.

Apparently the left thinks that extending unemployment benefits until early next year is a very good idea . . .

When I initially read the piece (I can’t remember where) about “a second round of stimulus checks” my thoughts were to blink and say “damn, is that even affordable??”

Won’t they need to print money in order for that sort of package to get into the hands and bank accounts of everyday people?

And wouldn’t that lead to even greater deflation and economic ruin as we’re seeing NOW?

The POTUS was dead on right in spurring businesses and states back to WORK, but now we are in a situation where the government benefits are so “generous” (and don’t get me wrong – I’m using the term in a relative sense) that certain businesses (a lot, actually, and I personally know of at least ONE) is having a hard time finding workers, because it makes more financial sense for some to stay home and suck off the government teat.

Again, don’t get me wrong.

The CARES act was required, and a great thing to do in times of emergency. I don’t a single other nation that put $1200 or the equivalent, willy nilly, into the bank accounts of it’s citizens, but there comes a point where you have to say enough if enough.

As a certain Senator rightly said, “if they’re in hell, they may want ice water too”

Sometimes, and often times, the best way to is to climb out of that hell yourself, my friend, and when the government has done it’s initial bit – its now up to the citizens of the country themselves to make a difference.

To be true HEROES, and true HEROES don’t stay at home and suck off the government (or any) teat for longer than they HAVE to.

True HEROES look at themselves in the mirror and do what it takes to change their situation – inch by painstaking inch often, and that is how the economy as a whole progresses.

It was HARD WORK that brought the US of A to the pre-eminent position it rightfully enjoys today in the world. And socialist policies such as what the Dems constantly float ain’t the way to keep it there.

Just my opinion, of course, but when it comes to fitness, ‘tis the same.

I didn’t sit around looking for sympathy or a magic bullet when I had to get into the best shape of my life.

Folks often look at me and talk about “how lucky I am to be in shape”.

Lucky my ass.

I made my own damned luck. I still remember the hell it was the first few days waking up early in the AM (something that I do NOT do) . . . or, when I first started out, hiking that hill in the evenings as wel, and coming home and collapsing.

Each day I looked at myself in the mirror (I was unknowingly using the Claude Bristol technique that I was to write about and teach years later) and said I could do it.

I could do it. I will do it. By God, I WILL DO IT!

And I did, my friend.

And that’s how it is with life – or anything else.

Sucking off any teat for longer than you have or need to is not only NOT conducive to any sort of success, but it puts you in a very dangerous sub conscious state of “I’ll be taken care of no matter what”.

A state of mind to avoid, my friend, and you know why – I’ve written about that in the past enough times!

As Napoleon Hill rightly said, the state of mind must be one to WIN – a BURNING DESIRE to WIN, and nothing less than that.

And so it goes from 0 Excuses Fitness HQ.

Enough on that front – if you haven’t already picked up my books on getting better at pull-ups do so right HERE – and HERE.

No, they ain’t cheap, but they deliver results my friend – and how! I’ll be waxing lyrical on what a friend had to say about the ADVANCED book in the coming days – stay tuned!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – Oh, and don’t forget to pick up the BEST damn fitness system out there on the planet right HERE.
