How yours truly got to America

I still remember it.

Opening the envelope, and leaping for joy (internally).

The unthinkable had happened. I got a scholarship to an University – and given yours truly's truly “terrible” (according to most), in “12th grade”, who woulda thunk it?

Of course, they did say that I got the scholarship based upon my tenth grade grades which were (miraculously) 98 percent overall in my exams, and pretty much very close to 100 in certain subjects.

Of course, the lead up to this “miracle” was anything but spectacular.

Yours truly flunked all the “prep” exams that were held for this purpose.

Yours truly's “long suffering” Dad showed up and said the following “Good results in History and Math”, but “what about the rest”.

In a serious and stern manner that made me feel like Balaams ass was being led to the slaughter, hehe.

And in a manner that made me dig my heels in MORE (internally).

Hey, I never got the point of NOT being allowed to study what you “wanted”.

I liked History. I liked Math. I like the Arts. And yet, because those were “girly” subjects, and “there wasn't a career in them”, I was pushed into something I absolutely detested, that being the Sciences.

Anyway ... in tenth grade, I believe my Math score was 90.

That wasn't good enough.

My tutor remarked “we were expecting better of him”.

OK ....

If there is ONE reason I detest modern day academics that prioritizes ROTE over everything else (creativity be damed), it is THIS!

And it's also why I tell my daughter that all I care about in terms of her life is that she should be fit, healthy as a horse, DO WHAT SHE WANTS – and be good at sales, COMMUNICATION and negotiation so she can truly “sell her way through life” as I do!

I started late.

Maybe thats a good thing in many ways as the struggles allowed me to learn more than I would have otherwise.

I had and have zero “support”.

Great.

But, I'd like for her life to pan out differently in those two regards.

Will it? Who knows. We'll see!

But anyway, with all the out of state tuition and all that, the scholarship was how I made it to Univ.

And of course, two years later I lost it.

I was back to my beer swilling “F grade” getting ways, hehe (nah I ain't “proud” of it, but it is what it is!).

Anyway, thats part of how I got to the US – or should I say “Univ” as that would be a better descriptor, really.

But here is the one university that I'll never regret going though.

The school of hard knocks.

The school of REAL life.

The pain of LEARNING – in the toughest manners possible.

God gives his toughest battles to those that can handle it” 

So said Sanjay Dutt, an Indian film actor I greatly admire (not so much for his movies, but his STYLE).  

A true fighter, drinker, smokers, and womanizer til lthe end ...

.. and even the women that hated him had this one thing to say about him,

“But he maintains himself. He's in damn good shape!”

Hehe.

'nuff said.

Anyway, that off my chest (honestly I'm not sure why I felt compelled to say this now! It popped up in my mind while meditating, and so I said it) ... here is where you can go to pick up the BEST damned fitness system ever – the 0 Excuses Fitness System.

Do so now – you'll never regret it!

Best,

Rahu lMookerjee

PS – Pull-ups were a regular part of the “Indian Terminator” (back in his days) workout routine – even if they weren't quite always done in the style I do 'em. And the RIGHT way to do 'em – well – you can learn that right HERE – Pull-ups from DUD to STUD within a matter of WEEKS!

PS #2 – Some of you seem not to be getting my emails – check your “junk” folder if you just signe dup and aren't getting my comminiques (sometimes I do use them fancy words, hehe).

Or, perhaps just re-sign up with a different email address ...

If all fail, let me know and I'll see what I can winkle out.

I've written about this before, of course.

Galore.

Get rid of (or make a decision to – and follow through) that which you do NOT want in your life, and guess what replaces it.

Emerson's laws said it best.

“Every excess is balance ... every debt is repaid ....”

And while I do not remember that great philosopher's words to a T, the sum and substance of it is this – if you get rid of what you do NOT want – then the equal and opposite reaciton occurs.

Guess what replaces it's place.

That which you DO want.

It's the “fear” of “losing” that stops people from doing the former, of course.

Most people.

And I used to be one of those peopel a long time ago, and in some regards, still am (or was, until last year I should say)

Now, I function 100% PLUS on vibe 

If it was 100 percent before, now it's AMPLIFIED.

If I get a vibe off something I do not even remotely like, or want, or prefer, then in the vast majority of cases I make a conscious choice to DROP that person – or thing – from my life.

If I can't drop it rightaway, I make a decison to do so, and follow through.

This holds for life. Relationships. Friends. (or so called friends). Contacts. And yes, business and fitness too!

Fitness wise, well, you already KNOW what I mean.

I never ever once went to a gym in my entire life – and for a damned good reason.

Now if they built them like they did in the days of Doug Hepburn, I probably WOULD GO!

And then some.

But the way it is now, you wouldn't and couldn't entice me to go there if you tried to.

Not even with free memberships as the lovely Carol once gave me (and I have to thank her – she tried).

The weather was insane in China at that point (my city) and she was trying to offer an alternative, so in that regards – kudos to her.

But yours truly climbs in category 3 and worse hurricanes!

Anyway, business wise as well.

It's no secret that the vast majority of the world loves to watch the one thing I dread.

VIDEOS.

“Watch that video!” my contacts keep telling me, before sending me another MINDLESS time wasting video – something which cuould be summed up in a pithy manner, and yet I get to see the person rant on about the obvious.

And when I say it in words, apparenly the impact is less for the sheeple, because “so and so” with X number of followers didnt say it on YouTube or whatever 

Ugh!

And I've made the decision to stay away from videos, and for most part, voice notes which are all the rage these days.

I just saw a discussion on LinkedIn (that I participated in) on this where the vast majority of people is all FOR audio notes, and yet, yours truly?

No way

And for a good reason. People tend to rant way too much on audio fo rsomething that could be said in one line or less most of the time 

And of course, ignore the written word ... (convenient to do on audio).

Not to mention all biz is done ultimtely at the end of the day in writing (Freddie was damned right in that regard!).

And yet, despite the hordes moving to the opposite side, I stay on mind. Very firmly so, and I'm geting “worse” by the day, and BETTER at culling ANYONE, or any sor tof practice I do NOT like out of my life.

Including certain forms of social media as well (WeShat being one that I culle dbefore, got back on, but have culled for the most part yet again, and this time for good in many regards) 

And guess what.

What I WANT is coming to me.

Without even trying in most cases.

More sales. More customers that get it, and want more. Customers that DO what I ask in my books, and get great results!

And in life, pretty much the same thing.

(Unless you count the bozos trolling me actively, but since they help boost sales, hey. I'm all for that too, hehe).

And so it endeth. Remember the lesson therein (again) – most valuable one for you!

Best,

Rahu lMookerjee

“India man very hot”

And, I should say, why I do NOT believe in coincidence – of any form, nature or shape.

At least not in the manner most people believe it to be.

Neither do I believe in luck the same way.

It all happens, but it happens for a REASON and sometimes, often times, we are UNABLE To figure out the logic behind it – as we should be!

The Universe works in ways that the human mind cannot even begin to comprehend, my friend, and once you have faith, you'll see what I mean – literally (and I mean REAL faith).

Faith from the inside out.

Anyway, back to it. Tracy, a friend of mine (not the student!) once made the following comment to me giggling as I ascended the hill with her.

(We were hiking together and at that point, she was kicking my RUMPUS. Royally!)

(Pun intended, hehe).

And she made the following comment.

“India man very hot! I hear this!”

(Now, her English wasn't and isn't the best, so I didnt equate hot with “handsome”. I equated it with energy – and perhaps the sort you're thinking about).

I didnt question her then on it, but years later, as I reconnected with her, I asked her what she meant, and she said that “if girls that you find sexy can be called hot, why not men”.

“I'm flattered, Tracy” I laughed. “But honestly, that was the last thing on my mind!”

(and it WAS the last thing on my mind. Haha).

Then we spoke about other things.

The esoteric. And coincidence, and of course, it started to fly over her head.

And at one point she made the following comments.

“You don't have any enemies in China! Don't pretend to be Indian spy!”

(this with reference to a particularly scary “hag” that once showed up in my dreams, and I knew – at once – what it meant).

Am I?

“Tracy, if I was a spy, I wouldn't be using WeShat”, I grinned back.

But really, my friend.

Things happen for a reason. People are drawn into our lives for a reason. Positivity is drawn into our lives for a reason. And so forth.

Ever thought of the saying “where there is a will there is a way?”

Even when things seem impossible, there is always a “way”. It depends on how strong the desire and will behind the “way” is!

Faith, my friend, can indeed move MOUNTAINS.

Ever notice that when you really WANT or “need” something (really, really!) it just “shows up” there?

(At that point, your “need” beomes a “want”).

These may sound like mere words, but they're not my friend.

If you truly, truly want something badly enough, you will GET IT.

I don't care if it's fitness, business, relationships, or what not – you – will FIND a way to GET IT – if you have FAITH!

Faith, my friend, is the elixir that produces MIRACLES (No, that isn't the initial Napoleon Hill saying, but I believe I'm permitted to change it up a bit!).

Without faith, real faith, nothign moves. Or starts to.

And same thing, fitness wise.

You might not want to be “hot India man” - or “hot girl” - or so you think ....

Let's face it. We all love compliments.

And one of the main reasons we get into fitness is looks (though it shouldn't be the main reason).

But it is for most people ...

And to get in the very best shape of your life – curiously enough, and as you can see from my OWN life – LESS physical work is required than what you'd think.

Ford (and I said this in the last one) once said thinking was the hardest job.

And it is, hehe.

Think about that a while – and while you do so – be sure to pick up the 0 Excuses Fitness Sysem as well. Best damned fitness program ever, and it ain't no “coincidence” I'm saying it either!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Becoming more AWARE of your surroundings and then learning how to go WITHIN yourself is another skill that is of UTMOST importance in your “journey” in life. Confused? Want to learn more? Well, I divulge a lot on this to those I coach one on one, but I do not accept “everyone” my friend (and it ain't got nothing to do with moolah either). To find out if you truly “have it” ... apply right HERE – NOW!

PS #2 – I wrote about this on the other site, except from a different perspective, hehe.

Throw the kitchen sink at them!

So, this is something that is a central facet of my thinking – philosophy to life – fitness – or anytihng, really.

Anything I do – I really do.

Anything I REALLY want to do – I go at it with VIM, VIGOR and GUSTO – and then some!

“The best form of defense is ..." 

You guessed it.

Attack.

Many years ago, in fact not so long ago actually I was of the opinion that “taking a step back” was the way to go.

And it still is, actually for me, if conflict can be avoided, and if I don't really care about what is happening.

Por ejempelo, several “fights” I've walked down from as of late (and over the years) – not because I started them, or because “it was my fault” - or “I couldn't win”.

It was because I could simply care less.

Compare me to a hyena in that regard.

And I read this in a novel once – a James Hadley Chase novel.

The hyena is the most “cowardly” of all the beasts out there, despite having the strongest bite force (per sq inch I believe, but I'm not sure, butI think thats right).

It will do All it can to avoid a fight.

But when it's cornered – watch out.

There is no animal more vicious than said hyena!

And given a wildlife explorer in Africa of all people said this, he must have known something about it.

Same is true of all big cats, including my favorite, the tiger.

They dont go looking for fights. They don't go trying to prove something, even when they can.

But when it's time to get that job done, you wouldn't bet against that tiger would you?

BAM!

I'm the same way my friend.

When it really, really matters – I'll find a way - - and usually, I'll doing so by giving it my all and then some.

Throwing the kitchen sink at it.

Donald Trump said it best and right,I believe, when he said th efollowing.

“If you're being attacked, then fight back with ALL you can and have NO mercy! ”.

(paraphrased, but that is the gist of it )

And as I recently told a friend of mine “ If people don't screw with me, and leave me the hell alone, I'll leave them alone – in DUPLICATE. If someone comes after me, I'll come after them – in TRIPLICATE.”

Lesson to be learned right there my friend. Two of them!

And despite the bozo like “Oh, Mama, why is he doing this to me” responses you get from the crowd that delight in BULLYING (Bozo Scofield being one prime example, but there are others), you give it all you can.

And you hit 'em – where it hurts – the HARDEST – and you do it over and over again until they BACK DOWN.

So it goes with fitness occasionally.

When that fat refuses to budge, I went on multiple climbs up that hill.

Sometimes to the tune of SEVEN, not kidding, times a day!

Extreme? Hell yes!

Crazy? Hell yes!

But did it get results, lasting results, and then some! ?

Hell YEA! 

And thats the way you gotta live life my friend.

Attack every day like it's the last you live – and you'll like live a very long and fruitful life as well!

And thats that for now. Back soon!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – HERE is where you can pick up the take no prisoners, give it your ALL 0 Excuses Fitness System (and no I don't cater to wusses and sissies that “are too fat” but can't lose weight because of XYUZ Reason, so please, if thats you, do yourself a favor ... and ... stay ... away!).

PS #2 – Neither do I PANDER, my friend. It is what it is. Take it, or LEAVE IT!

I was talking to a friend “Becky” the other day.

She was down and out ... almost.

And the reason for that is understandable. Her Dad, who she is close to “close to passing on”, and in one of the most painful manners possible.

No, it isnt the China plague we are talking about here. It's cancer, and ... well, its a long story, but I understand her pain.

Remember that Uncle who I wrote about who always (despite my many faults as a kid) had nothing but POSITIVE things to say about me?

He truly did look at the positive, and try to amplify that ...

... and he was a man that LIVED LIFE. On his own terms for the most part.

Smoked. Drank. Quit jobs when it took him. Didnt give a rats ass to what anyone thought ...

... Sort of like yours truly.

Minus the smoking, which of course I quit at 25, because I was getting to the point I coul dbarely climb a flight of stairs without wheezing and being out of breath).

(Forget climbing hills or doing pushups!)

(I did do some weightlifting back then, but it never got me the results I wanted. But you on this list know that! ;)).

And anyway, as I spoke to her (Becky) I had this to say.

“Hi Becky! I'm so sorry to hear that! But take heart – he's going to a better place!”

(where he will be ETERNALLY HAPPY).

We never die ,my friend. A lot of you might scoff at this, but what Becky told me?

“I've been comforted by a lot of my friends, but this one sentence really helped me the most”

(I'm paraphrasing).

I've got no idea if she believes in the Almighty. I do know she's not a Christian, and neither am I.

But we all “move on” for a purpose, but never “die!”

It's as simple as an “eternal sleep” and for the life of me I Cannot understand why a lot of people are petrified of death.

As Napoleon Hill wrote about, it is indeed one of the primary fears that STOP most people from achieving their best in life ...

.. And it shouldn't be.

“You sleep and have dreams, don't you? Are you scared of sleeping?”

....

'Then why should you be scared of an eternal sleep with nothing but peaceful dreams??”

....

Death is something yours truly has been scared of ever sinc ehe can remember . My first memory of that was crying at the age of 4 when I saw a movie or something of a person dying and asking my father “when I woul dgo too”.

He tried to comfort me.

But nothing dispelled the fear quite like the words Napoleon Hill wrote above.

And at the age of 36 at that, when I first read 'em.

Is it any coincidence I got into the best damed shape of my life then? I think not!

Anyway ... habits huh.

I tried quitting smoking TWICE before I finally did.

When I finally did, I just put my foot down and did it.

I ignored the headaches, the stress, the “temptations” and just iron willed my way to do it. And here I am, decades later, smoke free.

Not “booze free” though. Hehe. I love my beer!

But really, though that is an effective manner of quitting smoking, it doesnt work well all the time.

What do I mean?

Well, as of now, my emailing on these sites has been put on hold temporarily (as you know) as we are figuring out a new method of making sure the emails hit your mailboxes as opposed to “bouncing back”.

And while that happens, there has been a lull in posting.

For yours truly, my trigger fingers literally ITCH to email the way I used to, but I stop myself.

Because there isn't much point.

And I focus on something ELSE.

It was the same thing I did when I started writing, and was Not in the habit. Except in opposite, and before I knew it, well....

... They say it takes around 21 days for the human mind to “accept” a new habit. I have no idea if this is true or not, but making new habits – and quitting old ones isn't half as easy as it's made out to be my friend.

Just doing it is part of it.

The other part is “eating a bear at a time”.

And it applie sto fitness, business, writing, emailing, habits, anything you can think of.

Anyway, enough on that front. If you're currently unfit, and in the worst shape of your life at 30 plus, or 40 plus, or indeed TWENTY plus a many are, then NOW is the time to change things my friend.

Start by investing in a good program right HERE

Rahul Mookerjee

Blocking out the noises that really dont matter ...

And that you want to, and should ignore.

Kind of like associating with the type of people that help you GROW – not stagnate (which means going backwards anyway) – and not NEGATIVE minded people that just drag you down into their morass along with them.

Which is pretty much the majority of people out there these days, and sadly, sometimes, and a lot of times indeed, due to no real fault of their own.

That pesky conditioning, beliefs and so forth.

But anyway, I wrote about this on the other side today from a “meditation” (or even “focus”, really, if you choose to call it that) standpoint.

And I made a breakthrough in that regard!

Yes, you never stop growing, and neither does yours truly and some of my current fitness routines, or not would nigh ON AMAZE YOU, my friend. No questions about it!

On that note, a lot of you have been signing up for the newsletter, but not getting my emails on either site.

And while we're currently testing all this, rest assured it should be fixed by next week or so (the delivery service I'm going to use is a professional indeed service, and by next week all subscribers on BOTH sites should be getting my daily emails as a matter of routine).

(But it's still a very good idea to sign up for both sites anyway if you're truly into what I say daily ...)

(And of course, as for site #3 – well – that should be online too shortly. Stay TUNED! Hehe).

Now, on to it!

Fitness wise, it ain't no secret that I hate being interrupted, bothered at , ooh aah'ed at, or :asked for selfies” as it were while working out.

And it happens all the time. Especically in China (but it happens elsewhere too).

And the most annoying part aren't really the lookie lous that are there to waste time and will never, ever for instance GET to doing bodyweight exercises regularly.

Remember the guy I wrote to you about in 2018?

He came over to me, asked me a ton of questions about pull-ups, and (being he couldn't do a single one) – I figured he was actually serious.

I re-directed him to the book, which he never bought.

(He did end up buying green tea though, but only because he thought it was a "quick fix" for losing weight, and once he saw it wasn't - he never bought again. UGH!) 

OK. No problem, and I gave him some very valuable free advice indeed.

Two or three days later, I saw this same dude.

Asked him about his progress

“Oh, I'm sorry! I gav eup!”

And off he walked trilling away to the gym of all places as if it was no big deal, and indeed, to him, it probably was not!

To him, it was probably “oh, so what”.

But it ain't to me.

What I do is to me, sacrosanct. And it's precisely THESE people that come up to me and badger me as I've written about ...

.. in the past, I'd laugh at them, but they wouldn't go away. It seems the barrage of buffoons with nothing better to do than take selfies and badger people while doing squat all themselves has increased exponentially, much like the plague from China has everywhere ...

I'd go elsewhere.

I'd show them my back (like I did with dude who pestered me about “using my brain” when I was doing pull-ups).

And so forth.

All of this worked to an extent. I even got into an almost fight over it once.

But really, NOTHING worked until the following -

  • until I well and truly started to IGNORE these people.

FROM THE INSIDE OUT

Yes, I still look at these people and laugh, but I “really” laugh now.

And they can feel it, and off they go. Whereas when it was just a “superficial laugh”, and I meant it, but really didnt, they stayed and pestered me.

Anyway, it ain't the easiest of things to do for sure.

But it can be done, if you truly have to, and if you work at it!

Ditto for ignoring noise etc while you're engaged in visualizing or what not (and truth be told, I'll have to write more about that soon. So much to say, not that much time to say it in – here!).

And I'm off. Remember to pick up the much vaunted course on pull-ups HERE – truly the best course ever on it!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – And remember what I said about emails. We'll be back full speed from next week most likely, but until then, you gotta check the blog(s) as I post everything there as well. And keep signing up – you'll never regret it! Never a dull moment, hehe, not with yours truly is there.

You may not agree. But it's true.

I recently saw a quote from the Trumpinator himself along the lines of “I've played to win all my life”.

The actual words were different.

I believe he said “I've succeeded at everything I've done all my life”.

But if you read between the lines ... notwithstanding his “grand failures”, you'll see he's right. And for those that care to read on (liberals not included, hehe), you'll see this ain't just a “Trump” piece.

No.

This is about YOU. YOUR LIFE. YOUR FITNESS. YOUR BUSINESS!

A long time ago, Uncle Bob once famously told me the following (which he sometimes didnt do, hehe).

Easier to just do it than ask permission!

Can keep asking for permission later ...

This was with regard to the erstwhile “Major General Michael and Rahul's spats” ... which were infamous in bonny DG back in the day.

Still are to the old timers, hehe.

And he was right, actually.

When Trump wants to do something, or say something, he may be right or wrong.

He may be inviting a catastrophe, or he may be doing something RIGHT. REAL RIGHT!

But one thing is for damned sure.

He doesnt sit around vacillating and thinking what if.

He doesnt think about “what they'll think of me”.

He just says it and then does precisely what he says.

End of story!

And THEREIN, my friend, lies the key, which amazingly enough the very people that complain about no freebies are missing.

Some don't lay it out straight for you.

They want you to buy marketing books to learn it (my wife recently bought one on “Internet Marketing” of all things, and oh boy. A glance inside shows it's SO BORING and utter bilge that even the most desperate of marketer would be hard pressed to use it, but of course, my wife, and ... well, enough said.)

(I'll see if I can find the author. LEt me know and I will, but I believe the name of the book was "Fundamentals of Internet Marketing")

(A prime way NOT TO title a book, any book ...) 

Men are always “wrong”, hehe. Aren't they?

But jokes and jibes aside The secret behind Trump's successis simple.

Follow thy gut.

And just do it.

Now, the former entails being WRONG a lot of times, but guess what.

You have to lose in order to win even bigger, and be WRONG in order to be RIGHT later.

A while ago, a friend of mine was in a situation partly created by his actions, but the mess he landed in was a nightmare I wouldn't wish upon even “Bozo” scofield to be honest.

Something most people wouldn't be able to cope with or even imagine the specifics of.

It ended in six months, though no-one gave it a chance of ending before THREE YEARS.

In another month, it started again.

And presto, right now, as we speak, he's in a far far better place today than he was then.

And if he didnt take the actions he did then, he wouldn't be where he is now. Everything DOES HAPPEN FOR A REASON!

And it only happens because you follow your gut.

Could be Trump and the way he is. Could be Ford and his insistence on making the 8 cylinder enginer no matter. Could be Edison with his 10,0001 tries. Could be Jeff Bezos. Could be anyone!

But you take a decision – change it slow – and then just do it.

Don't muck around!

The Universe has a way of throwing it's weight behind the person who knows what he or she truly wants, and is willing to go to any length to get it, even when it seems IMPOSSIBLE and then some.

Not mine.

Napleon Hill. (I mean the part in bold)

From that same guy.

The Universe truly knows NO SUCH THING AS THE WORD “impossible” or “permanent failure”!

The Trumpinator was recently asked what if he didnt win the election.

I believe he will. So does the ROW ...

But, if he didnt.

Sage answer as always.

Crisp, and to the point.

From the heart.

From the gut.

“Ill do something else!”

And if this doesnt make you understand, I dont know what will.

Fitness wise, lifewise, marketing wise, relationship wise, biz wise, same damned thing.

Just do it.

There are those that spend time vacillating over “will the 0 Excuses Fitness System really work” despite proof in front of their eyes. (same thing for Advanced Hill Training).

Then the bozos who can't do pull-ups, and yet question the efficacy of methods from a man who DOES IT ...

(on that note, be on the outlook for the next email, and workout that truly shake your BOLLOCKS up, hehe).

And we have those questioning the efficacy of the humble pushup when champ boxers and wrestlers all do it ...

Stop vacillating my friend.

The time for talk stops NOW.

Just do it – and let the results flow – and if you adopt this method to LIFE IN GENERAL, well watch out. You might well be surprised and then some!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

Or perhaps it was “fails occasionally”.

I cannot quite remember.

But hark back to the days of 2011 ... I believe. When I first showed up in the Middle East on an assignment I just KNEW I was going to hate, and big time.

Don't ask. Hehe. (as to why “I took it”). Those on my list for a while will probably know why or you can guess, but I took it anyway.

And it wasn't all bad, actually. I actually liked the little stretch of beach around 20 minutes or so from where I “eventually” lived there and my nighttime runs there. . .

. . . it was also where I first started pouding the heavy bag. Big time.

Anyway ... point being this.

When I first showed up at the company that hired me, the “General Manager” called me in.

(being he was sort of “indirectly responsible” for me anyway).

“I know you've been to US”, he said, looking at me.

(for reference, this was an Indian owned company, and an Indian run company, and ... oh boy. Don't even ask. Chaotic mess, and if I told you some of the machivations these here guys got up to, you wouldn't believe it. What I cannot believe is I put up with the 8 or so months I did before I reverted to true type and got myself canned, heh.

Although my canning was NOT something that started because of something I did.

That email ... ah, but let it “be” for now, as a lady recently told me.

Apparently she wants “two beautiful initials” and saw fit to email me at 2 AM in the morning about it. It's that same jewelry seller I wrote about a while back!)

bAck to it!

And he said a lot more, but basically his gist was (and remember, it was a huge company, so he didnt know a lot about me, really, past what I told him) “you've been all over the world” and so “adapting here shouldn't be a problem”, but “sometimes even the best of us fail on foreign shores”.

For reference, “Sachin Tendulkar” was the “Master Blaster' in India I believe.

The God of cricket as they call him or used to, from what hazy memory recalls. I was never huge on cricket or baseball or any sport when growing up. All I liked was swimming to be honest.

And this Master Blaster despite having a stellar record overseas apparently “failed” overseas occasionally and people got on his case about it.

Don't ask. Again. LOL.

Anyway, I can see him (the GM, who shall stay unnamed) reclining in his chair. To say he was “massive” would be an understatment.

That of the century, actually ... (and I don't mean “muscle” here!!).

And I remember what he said.

But funnily enough I didnt agree with what he said back then (but didnt say much other than nod).

And I don't agree now.

And I never have, actually.

Yours truly is the sort of person who THRIVES and PROSPERS – big time – anywhere but what we call “home”.

I dont know why. But living “on my lonesome”, and doing my own thang, and ... well, back to China (curiously enough the good GM did all he could to ignore a country where I've spent the majority of my adult life, hehe) ...

Home is indeed where I hang my hat is what I should have told him.

But didnt. 

As he went on about “how I should avoid walking outdoors after 9 PM”.

To a guy that did midnight beer bashes and got into altercations all the time.

HA!

But again, yours truly was silent.

Point of this rummy tale you ask?

Well, one that “rum” there was rationed. You had to get a permit. And that was something yours truly hated.

Yours truly does NOT like people even THINKING about imposing upon his freedom an dtelling him what he can eat and drink for one. And there were many other things there I hated.

But again, real point is what I said above.

Embrace the UNFAMILIAR my friend. 

It's indeed a key to success at ANYTHING.

Ford embraced an idea that no-one ever believed was possible. So did Steve Jobs. So did anyone that created anything worthwhile, including Jeff Bezos who was told “it would never work”.

Of course, so was I.

“You'll take 10 years to get it going!” I still remember.

Hehe. How dare I. I know! 

Anyway, enough rambling on my part.

Pushup Central, for one, will give you workouts of the nature you've never dreamt of before. It will strip away fat and build CORE strength and functional muscle in ways you never thought of.

So will Advanced Hill Training, 0 Excuses Fitness, and my other courses.

The unfamiliar, you say. Hehe.

EMBRACE IT, my friend. If you so choose, of course!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

Ps – ALL my products are written, structured and created in exactly the manner I tell YOU about – the same “just do it mentality”. And so it SHOULD BE! Take a gander right here bro.

My visits from the SPIRITUAL world ...

Often times when I wake up in the middle of the night, I “feel something”.

Like a PRESENCE.

Sometimes it's benign. Sometimes the feeling is “that it's there”. Something it's “he's sitting on my bedside” (this past April).

And sometimes, it's downright scary – like the “hag” who showed up next to me - - and that I “saw” right after I woke up ... an experience that still, weeks later gives me the goose bumps.

I can still remember the face so clearly, the crazy spiked hair and so forth ...

And yet, sometimes, the worst dreams are actually the best to have for reasons that are way too profound to get into in terms of this email.

But back to “visits”.

I've made no secret of the fact that my family and me are usually at loggerheads with each other over just about everything.

There isn't and never has, as far as yours truly can recall any love lost between the two sides.

My childhood days are mostly those of “you damned problem child!” and so forth, and I've written about that before, and of course, when I was old enough to “retaliate”, I did.

A “cold war” of sorts that lasts until this day. Sometimes thats how it is. Sometimes thats for the better, believe it or not!

And the signs all point towards me “having to write this” as I am, so I am! Right now ...

Anyway, there were a few people who actually understood yours truly when he was “wee little”.

In ways that were never direct, but the signs were always there.

For instance, my Uncle who once made the comment about my “voice being good enough to be a singer”

I still remember him, standing in front of the dressing table saying that (while of course most of the rest of my family ridiculed it as “being rubbish”).

Or my paternal grandmother, for instance, who did all she could to help me in ways she could ...

Goddamn it. I hear a “whistle” outside. Made by a person that does all she can to “disrupt” my flow of thought whether she knows it or not! She does, actually, but thats a different story.

And so, right now, as I gather my thoughts again ...

... My maternal grandfather, who liked pretty much everyone.

And the fourth being, but we'll get into that later.

All of the above three people had positive things to say about me for the most part.

And while obviously a balanced “appraisal” contains both negative and positive, the overwhelming vibe I got off these people was POSITIVE. As it should be.

Especially for young kids.

And curiously enough or maybe not, these were the very people that I, due to whatever reason (actually I know, but I won't get into it here) spent the LEAST amount of time with.

Funny how that works eh.

But the VIBE cannot be denied my friend. No matter what we're talking about.

Neither can gut. Or instinct.

And as these three people passed on, they're “always there with me”.

Whether it's my deceased uncle who often appears in my dreams in ways that would terrify the average person, or my paternal grandmother warning me of dangers to come (which oddly enough or not are sometimes related to one's own FAMILY – and believe me, those “dangers” DID come! Like clockwork, except I was prepared for them), I often receive “visits from them”.

Dr. Lamar is the fourth individual, a kindly “old” man I met wayyyyy back in the day at the age of 19.

Despite all our fights, arguments and everything else he did all he could to help me (and I really needed it back then!) and I will always remember him for that.

He went down to the plague from China, unfortunately ...

It's unfortunate, but true.

Us “survivors”, and the people that truly “care”, and at the end of the day, we're the one left standing, but is it truly US?

I believe it is, but we're there for a reason.

To carry on the good fight, my friend.

Those that “couldn't” or those that the eternal spirt DEEMED necessary to pass on, and probabaly re-appear in one way, shape or form will probably do so then ... but they left us with the BLESSING (no, I am NOT a religious person in any regard!) to do what we do best.

And in my case, that is to say it like it is.

To create businesses based upon GUT, often on the fly, upon a moment's notice.

Some of my other businesses right now – well, let me just say that even if I TOLD YOU what they were, you would never believe it!

Such are the ways of the Universe, my friend.

Tune in, and yer shall see.

Ok, enough of the spiritual “stuff” I hear you say. Fitness?

Well, here it is – and believe me, when you start knocking out them Hindu pushups in high numbers ...you'll KNOW why I call it the best damned fitness system ever!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – I'll have more on this later, as well as details (excluding personal details) on a call I recently went through with one of the members on my exclusive 0 Excuses Ship group – stay tuned! (and no, it isn't for the average Joe or Jane, and especially not the tyre kickers or those with a 'down' mentality. I don't train “dead people” as that line famously went in the movie, but if you've got a WILL to improve – and a pulse – and a willingness to get down to brass tacks and just DO IT – then you're my man (or woman!)).

PS #2 – Apply for one on one coaching here.

When they “don't care about your blog”

I remember getting this comment more than once on my social media (WeShat, I believe, but I'm not sure).

“I could care less about your blog”, goes the angry refrain with that “impotent” (I don't mean physcially, of course, hehe) vibe to it ...

I've never quite understood one thing.

Why people that don't care about pull-ups and diss bodyweight exercises as being useless, and the “iron being the real thing” and “nothing beats the iron” follow yours truly obsessively ...

... Why the very people that claim about “saying it like it is” go into paraxoyms of fury and can't sleep at night wondering “what he's going to say next” and “how dare he” ...

How the very people that claim being fat doenst matter are the ones that want to get that CORRUGATED CORE the MOST ...

And so forth.

Actually, I do know.

And as I conclude my latest writing SPREE, oh boy, I gotta say I do know.

It's because, well, they DO CARE.

IF they didnt, they wouldn't notice it. Simple as that (and for the life of me I really don't know why they do care when they say they do but yet they do and ...).

... I know, I know. All Useless “just talk” right?

But not really my friend.

The blog is how you most likely found me.

The “just the blog” is what drives, and has driven multiple businesses and will continue to do so in the future ...

And when you get the “I don't care” comment in terms of life, or anything you do, the best way to respond, and I've said this before is the following.

“Thanks”.

Simple.

Or, say nothing at all.

Let them “not care”. I mean, really. Do YOU care?

And if you do, you shouldn't!

Yours truly made the mistake of “caring “ (a little, not a lot) years and years ago about many things ...

And now? I could care less, to be honest.

I could care less what people say, write or talk about me ... or how they troll me for instance. I actually enjoy it!

But that brings me to an interesting story.

And the reason I'm writing this.

Bozo Scofield the sociopath and myself were once part of a WeShat group I set up for a good reason - -to “keep it real in China”.

Great group, down to earth and adminstered by yours truly with an iron fist (which obviously wasn't all that “iron” as I let the Bozo in as well).

You know, you try and help certain peopel sometimes ...

Anyway, he showed his “colors” soon enough.

Being the troll he was, and i kept him in there for amusement (and the like).

And while he routinely made his brand of personal attacks against many people, put out nigh on false info about many people and much, much more, I still remember what he did to another (admittedly “willow like” guy called “Americana” (but he was a good guy, actually)).

That was his nick on the group, at least. Bozo Scofield was ... “Glyn”, I believe. Or Sir (eh??) Glyn or some nonsense of that nature.

And he trolled this guy relentlessly, all day long.

I still remember the messages coming in from the latter, and at a certain point although I was laughing, I just had to tell the Bozo to stop.

And he did, I believe, for a while, before he started sending the most idiotic and salacious texts to another girl I know who was also a part of the group (and who shall remain unmentiond here).

And more.

Why do I bring this up? 

Well, it' scurious how life goes FULL CIRCLE eh.

As the Bozo himself is throwing fits and hissies at being “called out” (rightly so) for the nutzo that he is ...

Anyway, enough on that. Fitness wise, same thing. Remember that what goes around, comes around.

And if you make that choice to neglect the fat around your waist for one, well, guess what.

It WILL come back to bite ya, and then some!

And more.

And I'll be back soon. Truly another writing binge today!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee
