So on the other site I wrote about my opinion and feelings on why life really, really, really does NOT and was NOT meant to be a “Struggle” in every which was as people (in general) have been conditioned to believe.

One of my greatest and best customers John Walker in the UK (btw, John – I hope you’re well and training HARD, HARD, HARD NOW!) said that “I was the rare breed of man that has figured out how to live life on his own terms”.

No, that ain’t the exact comment, but it’s pretty close, and if you want I’ll pull out the exact quote (I believe I did last month though).

But anyway, we ALL can do this.

It’s the thinking that counts …

Anyway, point isn’t so much that as something else (For this email).

Often times in my family (and most likely those reading this) there has been a lot made of “STRUGGLING to get to where you were”.

Now, two things.

First off, yes. NO major achievement in any sort of sphere comes without MIGHTY losses – and even mightier STRUGGLE.

Stallone. Jeff Bezos. Henry Ford. Steve Jobs.

Jack Ma.

ANY of the SCIONS you see out there today – the legends – at some point, and for a LONG, LONG time as well! Had NOTHING – and less than nothing in their bank accounts, lives, or what not.

Yet, they found it in themselves to keep plowing on.

Because they saw the potential and the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

And they also recognized the truism of what Napoelon Hill said in Think and Grow Rich, that being that the Universe does not let anyone “enjoy” real and lasting achievement without almighty struggle.

Men, he said, are put through all sorts of discouraging and DEFEATING circumstances FIRST – and these break all but the most stubborn.

There is no set time limit either.

It can continue for years, as it did with Edwin Barnes (remember the guy that showed up “tramp like” in Edison’s office, fresh off a freight train of all things!?)

But happen it does.

The pot of gold is THERE.

For you, me, everyone. Provided we DO what is required and put in the hard yards, and do so with the belief that life is not meant to be a grind!

Paradoxical?

Maybe, but if you read between the lines, youll know what I mean.

Sip of green tea. I so love waking up at 1 PM and then drinking my TEA, hehe.

Anyway, this brings me to my second point (I Still remember John McIntosh, a customer of “yore” once telling me HIS tea was “stone cold” replying to my emails and he’d need to make another. Maybe it was coffee. Can’t remember. But …LOL).

That being, the GRIND isn’t what gets noticed.

I spoke about in the last email that just because you have it tougher doesn’t necessarily make you BETTER or smarter at the end of the day.

YES, if you do something in an environment that is NOT conducive to success as much as maybe another person’s environment which he just “got” then that is indeed creditable.

The buck stops there though.

End of the day, if person #2 ACHIEVES more, then the world will look at HIM, not YOU.

No-one really cares about the struggles bro. We all have our own. Some more so than others.

The RESULTS are what people ultimately notice (if you’re the sort that cares – I don’t) – and the results are ultimately (and everyone DOES care on this one – I know I Do!) what determine if you have “skinny kids or well fed ones”.

Truism it BE, Jack!

It’s a FACT.

The goal should ALWAYS be to do less so you can enjoy MORE.

Our Creator made us all that way!

Our Creator (no, I’m not religious in the least!) did NOT “create” us with “hard slog” in mind, and so forth.

Same thing fitness wise.

While I obviously don’t condone “fat kids” or “buffalo like kids” (don’t ask, thats a running joke I’ve got with my daughter over an admittedly over portly young kid her age, though really, the example he gets and she gets – both are polar opposites) – -hell, thats why I put out Kiddie Fitness for, if you read through this entire rant you’ll see what I say and do in life applies to fitness as well.

(and what I say here).

Lets assume I did those 6 hours of slog daily up the hill, and end of the day, I was worse off than where I started in many ways.

I wasn’t, but lets assume that.

Do you think the world would stop and “admire” my effort ?

Nope.

They’d say and probably rightly so I’m an idiot.

Or worse, hehe.

I’d shrug and be pissed for about a second, andthen move on, and find another way.

But I DID get the results.

The world – the Bozos included, hehe, – trolls – genuine people looking to get FIT QUICK – and great customers that KNOW what REAL FITNESS BE about – DID NOTICE.

And they still do.

And it won’t stop, my friend.

Funnily enough the Jim Shim nutjobs keep crowing about the “time spent in the gym” and then get heart attacks, piss in their sleep (true story!) and can’t squat down to take a dump if their life depended upon it despite squatting a bear or what not in terms of weights at the Jim Shim.

Can’t lift up their arms to put on their shirts without SCREAMING in agony …

And so forth.

True story, and one I’ve mentioned SO many times

Anyway, I think you get the point my friend.

And to reverse the nasty effects that meaningless weight lifting and adding on “weight to the bar” (a profoundly moronic way of thinking) because “it gets you stronger” – well – get back to the basics, and do what you were meant to.

Pick up THIS course – right HERE.

Get started – now!

Write back – and let me know about it!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – That book is probably one of my best books ever, but I’m waiting for John to get through Pushup Central when he does buy it. It’ll be a toss up to see which one he likes BETTER, hehe.

And which one YOU, my friend, do!

Let me know!
