Why raising hopes and then DASHING them is the worst thing ever.

One of the worst feelings ever, I’m sure – – and especially for kids.

But anyway, from what I gather, one reason my daughter seems to be cranky today is this (and I dont know the entirety of this, obviously) – that her basketball teacher promised her some sort of some party for an upcoming festival in India, and then canceled it.

A festival I HATE – and am GLAD I’m not experiencing!

Holi.

To me, it’s always stood for hooliganism.

If you can imagine walking down the street ready to go to work, and being pelted with balloons and colors weeks before the damn festival begins, then you get some sort of an idea of the annoyance.

And especially to people who do NOT celebrate the festival.

Any other country, that sort of hooliganism would result in people getting shot, or worse.

In India, back in the day and even now most likely it’s condoned.

Ugh.

(though it’s gotten a lot better from what I hear, but it still happens).

I mean, I could never get where the fun comes in ruining other people’ days – people that dont celebrate the damned festival in the first place!

By all means pelt fellow revellers with color, balloons, and what not, but those that don’t want it – well … !

But anyway, thats another of those festivals like Diwali which in modern day India have been “extrapolated” into something they were never intended to be.

Diwali was never intended to pollute the entire country until Mars with the repeated BANG BANG of firecrackers made by slave labor first in China and then Southern India . . .

Neither was Holi intended to be hooliganism. A dab of color on the cheek yes, but nothing more than that!

Anyway, it’s all great fun for kids obviously.

And due to the plague … well!

Apparently her basketball teacher promised her and the other kids a party in that regard i.e. play ‘Holi’ during class. Nothing wrong with that – except a day later he canceled it.

I’ve seen this happen so often in Asia I cannot tell you the number of times.

Especially for things one KNOWS will never happen.

Obviously due to the plague these sort of things are banned, even in India where the law in most cases is followed “in the breach” as it were.

Yet, this guy, who I deeply admire for this teaching style told the kids one thing, then went back on his word.

Now, dont get me wrong.

I dont know what or if he said.

And I dont know if he was “forced” to take his words back. He’s not the sort of person that would disappoint!

But anyway, this brings to mind another thing – that being when you promise someone something – but that something takes ages to happen -maybe years – and the other person loses faith and claims “he never meant to do it”.

THAT is stupid too i.e. not realizing that sometimes, things don’t just happen “instantly”.

And its another of those goal setting lessons I’ve been trying to explain to my little one i.e. if you have a goal, do what it takes to get there.

“I dont want to do what it takes!”

“Then you’ll never get there, honey!”

Sad as it may sound, ADULTS are like this too – a lot.

People are lazy.

People dont want to DO what it takes to succeed at anything. Life, biz, fitness – NOBODY wants to put in the hard yards.

And PRACTICE.

Anyway, thats one thing – but what I want to tell you now is I dont make promises in the air, my friend.

On the Animal Kingdom Workouts page, for instance, you’ll see I say the course can do many things.

Two of them being a) put Viagara out of biz. b) You’ll truly join the ranks of the SUPERHUMANS by investing in this course and then DOING.

Many other things, but those two are the boldest claims.

And believe me, those of you with “little brother” issues or fitness issues – believe me, once you get on these routines – you’ll not just see, but FEEL how true my words are.

Same thing for all my other courses, and I could pimp them all day long, but I won’t.

This is a DIRECT pimp for Animal Kingdom Workouts.

Lots of you are trying to decide what book to buy NEXT. 

Well, THIS my friend for those that haven’t is the book!

And those that have – make sure to pick up our books on building dem SHOULDERS – like BOULDERS – NOW.

(Shoulders like BOULDERS!, Battletank SHOULDERS!)

Or, Pushup Central  or another ignored GEM – Advanced HIll Training.

And thats it from me.

Back soon!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee
