The “right thing” doesnt always (usually doesn’t) equate to “politially correct” thing.

And if there’s ever something you should be concerned about, and something you should NOT, it’s the former and the latter.

A long time ago, a friend had this to say about my disagreements with my significant other at the time.

“As long as you sleep at night knowing you did the right thing, thats what counts”.

Now, this particular disagreement was about that holy grail – MONEY.

Hehe. And of course, “Rahul is always wrong”.

Enough said … guys, and gals. 😉 (and especially you gals reading this. You’re always right! Giggle)

Anyway, back to it.

But and as my editor mysteriously changes all these here fonts to bold, I have this to say.

Doing the right thing ain’t usually the politically correct thing.

Usually the opposite.

It ain’t about doing whats right for someone else. Though this might sound selfish to the extreme, the great Claude Bristol quoted another equally great thinker in his pathbreaking book “TNT” …

I’ve never known of a man who succeeded in life materially by thinking of anything other than HIMSELF first and foremost.

Google, and youll probably find who said it (and if you’re too lazy to, so be it. I’m not about to do the legwork for you).

But the point stands, regardless of WHO said it.

You can only take care of others once you take care of yourself FIRST.

Yes, I said it. (and it’s a lesson I continue to learn daily, not the least of which being the recent (well, one of them) biz mishap which could have been avoided, and yet in the grand scheme of things is  probably all for the better – one of the best things that could have happened in many regards!).

Always a silver lining.

As Napoleon Hill correctly said …

Every adversity, every hardship, every tough situation has the seed of an equivalent benefit or more. Note that I did not say “flower of full blown success”, but the SEED from which said flower may be said to germinate. 

And I continue to say it. (both fo the above).  (and the above is paraphrased, but thats the gist)

If youre not in the right frame of mind and not doing what you truly want, or like, then there will be always be something lacking and that something for those wondering is not money.

That will likely be there in spades, much to the delight of your partners and SO’s …

And yet, look at Holly wood for one.

In Zero to Hero, the opening part contains a bit about why there are so many suicides in Hollywood (especially people with money and more of it than I’ve ever had in my life).

It also contains a bit about life’s simple pleasures that our kids (if you tune in!) can teach us …

The sheer screams of JOY at something most of us wouldn’t even notice …

Kids can indeed teach us a lot about life, and mine has taught me more than she knows!

But anyway point being this.

And back to being politcially correct and such.

It isn’t about “doing what others say is right” either. It’s about doing what is right for you.

As a Stallone line in that evergreen “macho man” flick over the top goes. . .

“Mike, remember one thing in life. Always do whats right for you! Remember that, Mike!”

(my English name is Mike, wierdly enough or maybe not so …) (Michael, actually, but we’ll get there later).

(and yes, I am NOT a huge fan of these “English names”, but hey, when in mainland China, do as the Chinese do in some regards! Better than being called “Lahoo” most of the time …)

Anyway, onwards, he was right.

And while calling Bozo Scofield out for instance is a move that seems to annoy even my most ardent fans (not all, but a lot), guess what.

IT ain’t politcially right or correct.

It ain’t what most people would consider to be the thing to do.

It ain’t about .. well, it is, actually, about “hiding your strengths and biding your time” (and I’m just getting started).

But it IS about sticking to your principles, as Charless Mitchell rightly said.

“The world is a mean, mean place! Stay true to your principles!”

(paraphrased again)

Spot on my friend.

Spot the hell on!

IF calling out a guy (Scofield) – a thief, a degenerate (and believe me, there are reasons I use these very strong terms) – a bully to the EXTREME (I hate bullies!) that has bullied countless people over the years (mostly people that couldn’t fight back, or so he thought, and mostly females at that) … if calling out a guy that has nothing better in his life than to make racist memes and hope others in his “vein of thought” pick up on it and amplify it, and so forth (and I’m just getting started!) is the NOT politically correct thing to do, well guess what.

I’ll do it. There are few things, if any, in life that I really really hate with a passion, but bullies are one of them.

Much like (and to the consternation of many) I keep putting together hard to read sentences, all in one block at that … Hehe.

Ill do it.

And I’ll keep doing it.

Because you see PAST the actual writing itself, or the tone of it, an dif you don’t, well, you’re at the wrong place.

And back to fitness.

Same thing applies.

The things that get you the best results are usually often th emost riduculed, and most WANTED.

Can even ONE of you write back and tell me, for instance, that you truly do not want to have the ability to have those Shoulders like Battletanks, and walk up flights of stairs on your hands – UNASSISTED?

Can even ONE of you reading this say you do NOT want the ability to get in a workout any place any time regardless of whether or not “you can get to a gym” (one of the most idiotic and yet most popular refrains ever – and I always say “Why” when I hear this!).

Can even one of you say you don’t want to be “slinking out” pull-ups willy willy without a thought, smooth as butter, and building that defined core as you so want?

None of the above three are necessarily politcally correct questions.

But .. an answer to any one of them (honest answer) will tell you just why politial correctness is way, way overrated.

Do the right thing, my friend.

Do whats right for you.

Do what makes you SLEEP BETTER and EASIER at night.

This approach truly will pay dividends long term, and fitness wise too!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee
