Last night, I saw myself on a snowy mountain top.

I was climbing it (no surprises, eh. lol) – first the “roundabout” way, and then I simply climbed “straight up it” instead of the winding path around it.

Wayyyyyy there in the distance was a “wireless” transmitter. And the sign “Tibet”.

Now, dreams are all FIGURATIVE.

Not everything is meant to be taken literally, and the best dream book couldnt tell you what YOUR Dreams mean – unless you KNOW how to interpret them yourself, which is a skill not most people are willing to learn.

It’s about what matters to YOU.

Anyway, I reached the top!

And I was skating there – or perhaps “skiiing”, I dont know … smooth as BUTTER.

Now, what does this have to do with you, you ask?

Well, I’m not going to explain the dream here.

But zigging and zagging?

Zig Ziglar, motivational speaker “par excellence” often said the following.

“A check up from the NECK up”.

He was right.

Without exception, the causes of failure at anything can be traced to the “neck up”. Fitness included.

Sure, I’m not talking temporary defeat here, or losing a battle to win the war.

I’m talking permanence.

Anyway, Dr Maltz spoke about zigging and zagging in Pyscho Cybernetics.

He said that when a missile shoots off to hit a target (I can just hear the Bozos mind working excitedly here, hehe) – it RARELY goes in a “Straight line”.

It zigs.

It zags.

And sometimes, often times, MOST of the time it seems “it’s going nowhere”.

Yet, suddenly, that one last “turn” it takes?

BANG ON TARGET!

KABOOM!

That, my friend, is how it is with you in life and the goals YOU set if you do so right, and do so with the knowledge that there WILL be times in your life when it seems “nothing is going right”.

Or, backwards.

Remember what Vince Mc Mahon said though.

Sometimes you gotta take THREE steps backward to move one ahead!

I can relate.

Boy I can relate!

But anyway, point is this – fitness wise – when I did all those looooonnnng treks up the hill – I dont know, or I should say, I didnt know, at the time “why” I did it.

Some inner force was propelling me to do it after the events I’ve mentioned before in 2015.

The RAGE at being “spurned” (ostensibly so)?

Perhaps.

But rather than retreat into a hole of self pity, I did the opposite, and it was the best damned thing that ever happened to me.

Today, that same person looks at me and says “I see a FAR more confident and changed person”.

Anyway, back to the hill.

I knew I was losing weight, yes.

But often times, the “journey” would be muddled.

Why am I doing this, I often consciously thought.

But do it I did!

Maybe the grand plan had been set in motion in 2010, and …well, what can I say. I’ve lived a storied life!

(and I’m just getting started. Hehe).

Anyway …

With YOU, fitness wise, same thing.

Some days, youll wonder why you’re struggling away to get so good at fingertip pushups.

You consciously know your grip is getting better, and stronger by the day. By the workout.

But you dont see the “numbers stack up as yet”.

Patience, grasshopper.

Keep doing the thing.

And you will!

There is NO force on Earth that can stop you if you do, THINK right, and do the RIGHT things.

In that order. Although thought is what moves mountains, snowy or not, DOING is where the “rubber meets the road”.

Even if you don’t do “right” the first time, its better than not doing at all.

All of this, my friend, can be summed up by the 1996 potboiler “The Rock“.

The General and his bunch of renegades steal some “VX tipped missiles” (basically some deadly poison).

And before stealing them from the silo, the Major looks at his superior, and asks one final time – or says.

(after they take care of the guards etc in a non lethal manner).

“CLEAR!” he yells.

The General looks at him. 

STRAIGHT IN THE EYE – NO PUNCHES PULLED – you can see the FURY and FEROCIOUS nature of the look! 

REAL LOOK.

“Let’s do it!”

And that encapsulates my entire training philosophy, and LIFE philosophy as well.

Just do it!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee
