Why I can’t understand or get along with people that dismiss “gut feeling”.
- It's STUPID

I still remember a discussion I was having from my friend from the Marines about a certain “weird” situation with my landlady in 2017 which now ALL makes sense.

Hindsight is always 20/20.

But anyway, I told him what my gut feeling was, and he said the following.

“Rahul, if your gut tells you – nine times out of 10 – it’s right!”

He then went on to add “we have both lived our entire lives this way!”

And he’s right.

GUT feelings – and decisions made on the SPUR of the moment, my friend without all the idiotic and profoundly useless “logical deliberation” for hours, days, centuries etc that everyone Tom Tom’s are the hallmark of ANY great achiever in ANY sphere.

Henry Ford was renowned for reaching decisions quickly – even when he was PUT ON THE SPOT.

And had no answer.

This same thing has happened to me in life many a times, most notably in 2018 when I was “back to the wall” – with NO support that I knew of at the time, in a situation not of my own making – and incredibly, once I made that on the spur of the moment comment?

Everything just worked!

The help – the support -e verything I needed just “came” in ways so miraculous that you’d think I’m an idiot and need a straightjacket if I told you.

But mysterious indeed are the ways and Wonders of the Universe my friend … mysterious indeed!

Anyway, point of me saying this?

I was chatting with the “lovely wife” this morning about the plague from China.

She was saying “no-one was prepared for this – no-one thought these things happened outside movies”.

I felt irritated, but then i controlled myself.

“As I’ve been saying”, I tried to explain it YET Again. “The world has been moving towards WAR for the past few years big time – people think it won’t happen because everyone has nukes etc – big, big mistake!”

She scoffed – again.

“I am not talking war!”

“Bio war”, I responded with it.

And then I told her what I have repeatedly, that I’ve had bad feelings ever since 2017 in China, and for a person that is THERE?

Well, if someone not even there disses their feeling as “someone thats just whistling Dixie through his ass because he ain’t got a special degree or what not in it” – well – they’re just sticking their head in the sand for one and I’m being polite on that one.

The rule changes, the increasing restrictions, most of all th e”feeling in the air”.

Like my friend told me in 2018 (after I created Advanced Hill Training, oddly enough).

“You’ve got the reflexes of a jungle cat!”

Coming from him, a man that doesnt like many people at all, that was high praise . . .

And he agreed with me, and he’s been through hell too I’ll tell you that. Anyway, this isn’t about that part of the story, but when I told my wife I’ve been saying it for years, that I had another one of those bad feelings in early 2020 …

…. the reaction?

“Of course they won’t tell you before they do it!”

I give up.

Much like the great customer from the UK whose wife contracted the plague from Wuhan, and who then got long term COVID – HE told his wife that he was going to beat this damn thing no matter what because … his Immune system eats this idiocy for breakfast.

And craps it out in pieces, I shoul dhave said too. Hehe.

But his wife didnt believe him.

Two weeks or so later, he was proven right, but of course, the scoffing would continue if he even dared to bring it up.

No, this is NOT about women alone!

Men are the same – it’s about PEOPLE that don’t buy into their gut feelings!

Big, big mistake.

Anyway, I can’t get along or understand people that disregard the gut, and this is only increasing the more I “age”. Hehe. Which given the comments I keep getting, I seem to be ageing backwards instead of ahead!

Anyway, fitness wise, jungle cat you ask?

The Fast and Furious Fitness (latest review) book reviews will tell you all about turning into the human version of a leopard if you DO what the book tells you.

Advanced Hill Training – JAGUAR!

The Rolls Royce of Fitness.

And of course, possibly my BEST damn book ever – Animal Kingdom Workouts – this one is truly, truly worth a grab!

And listen to your gut, folks. It’s there for a reason!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – I’ve been reading comments about India’s mismanagement of COVID etc. I’m not a huge fan of Narendra Modi any more (especially NOT after the 2020 lockdown he ordered “willy nilly” before which (and the world has forgotten this) the country had barely any cases at all!), but heres the thing – and lets be honest – at a certain point the entire world needs to open up – not shut down!

Lockdowns kill way more than any plague or what not ever could, and it;s amazing, but despite the untold number of people that are “suffering” or business coming to a grinding, creaking halt, people just dont get it.

Folks – wake up – smell the roses. Precautions not panic – and no, taking untested vaccines that required you to take shots yet again after 8 months and those that don’t protect you against this madness for one – no – I dont think thats required!

Build a strong immune system, a cast iron jaw and an IRON WILL – and thats all you need!

PS #2 – If I asked you a silly joke i.e. “Why do farmers work on their farm?” and the answer would be “Because they want a stable job” – well, would your thoughts be stable as in “permanent” or stable as in horses?

I’d bet the latter, but try telling that to the “me me” crowd that I wrote about before and God forbid you explain the language to them!

Some things … ugh.

But anyway, stables or not, animal have it spot on in terms of how they move around in the wild. Get on Animal Kingdom Workouts, and so will YOU.

And – farm work builds a SUPER GRIP if you do it right – they call it the Farmer’s Walk for a reason!
