On setting yourself up for failure and “finding a scapegoat”
- Pathetic indeed, to say the least, if done officially!

. . . while being apparently unconcerned with a real problem, or “seemingly concerned”, but in reality, doing all one can to pass the buck.

I’ll come out and say it.

IN fact, I have been for ages.

And I’ll say it again.

The way the current Indian admin is responding to the Chinese intrusions all along the border and indeed INTO The country is indeed not just mystifying, but PATHETIC as well.

And what I read from the Indian Defence Minister yesterday only served to solidify this feeling.

To quote him, he goes ““Based on the progress of (Sino-Indian) talks so far, the situation should be resolved. But, to what extent it will be resolved, I cannot guarantee. However, I can assure you that no power on earth can touch, or capture, even an inch of Indian territory.””

There is more, and you can read it here if you so choose: https://www.business-standard.com/article/current-affairs/rajnath-singh-says-can-t-guarantee-full-resolution-of-intrusions-120071800033_1.html

But if there ever was a more contradictory statement (and a formal one) issued by any sort of admin on this, I’m yet to hear it.

Compare this to what the BEST WORLD LEADER, bar NONE does.

He calls China out regularly for what it is – a bully, and threatens solid action, and then DOES IT.

And China knows it.

And they also know that the Indian admin makes statements, but hardly, if ever follows up on what they say.

Over the years, the Chinese have salami sliced off more of Indian territory than the admin cares to admit (or seemingly cares at all).

And this time, as they talk about “befitting replies being given”, the FACT – – and this has been reported by multiple SENIOR ex-Military officers in India, is that China has not just intruded way into Indian territory, but it steadfastly refuses to budge, and has set themselves up for the long haul.

And as talk, they are mobilizing all along the border for what will happen very soon, and what I’ve been saying all along but no-one bar a few believes it.

Yet another intrusion.

Because the Chinese have no choice. They’re almost out of land and water, and their economy is literally teetering on the precipice, despite what a lot of people think.

Believe me, I’ve seen the factories shut down, and the internal riots etc – – as well as what their own people are saying (before being sent off to gulags for saying it).

China is NOT in the position of strength it claims to be.

Anyway, back to the point.

The Defence Minster makes a claim one on hand, and then very conveniently makes another statement which effectively absolves him or the current admin of any responsibility “in case of failure” (which it seems in their own pacifist way they are planning for).

All the more appaling, because the Indian military not only stands ready to re-claim everything taken over the past few years, but the admin has effectively hamstrung them and left them unable to do their JOBS.

And of course, why do I bring all this up.

Well, for one, I don’t think any of us wants to be speaking Chinese and assimilated forcefully into Han Chinese culture in the years to come.

I wrote on Facebook and Twitter today that there are very strong parallels (and this has been going on for years and years) between what the Nazis did prior to WWII and what the PRC is doing with all it’s neighbors (and backing that up with economic heft, something the Nazis weren’t that good at).

I wrote that there if there is ONE “race” on the planet that on the whole believes in the concept of racial superiority, it is the Han Chinese.

Don’t believe me?

Fine, but rest assured I don’t make such claims lightly!

And for the non believers, a quick trip to Tibet, Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia and talking to the locals there should be enough to clear away any and all doubts.

Or, you could simply follow Mike Pompeo on Twitter . . .

Anyway, reason #2.

Because the same damned thing applies to fitness.

The person starts out with a worthy goal.

I’m going to get to a 100 pull-ups per workout!

I WILL lose that excess flab around the midsection!

I will . . . insert goal of choice.

And yet, mentally, they’re singing a different tune.

It’s a very well known fact that our subconscious is really what brings RESULTS into play for us, and if the subconscious doesn’t believe what you’re telling yourself consciously, then you’ll never get to that goal.

Or you may get there, and as Dr. Maxwell Maltz once said, you’ll always “bounce back” to the starting point of your journey, much like a rubber band snapping back to it’s original position.

And as the person makes the goal, self doubt creeps in.

“Can I really get to that many pull-ups? Probably not!”

And guess what happens.

There is a very damn good reason I speak about the MENTAL side of things in the NEW and IMPROVED version of “Pull-ups from DUD to STUD – within a few WEEKS”.

There is a damn good reason I speak about in the 10 commandments of Physical Success in the 0 Excuses Fitness System.

In “Battletank Shoulders”.

In “Gumption Galore”.

And damn near all my books, courses and writings.

You have to BELIEVE in yourself first before anything happens!

And back to Mr. Rajnath Singh, if there was ever a more stunning example of NOT believing in oneself and “his” powers, it is there right in front of us for all to see . . .

. . . made more stunning by the fact that unlike the person starting out on pull-ups, HE DOES HAVE the military might to do what needs to be done!

Ah, but we went there, didn’t we?

To recap: Self belief, my friend, is truly the most important thing. Without it you’re nothing. With it, you’re everything!

And on that note I’m out. Back later.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee
