You know what fires me up more than anything else, pally?

I might not show it, but it does!

Remember Rocky in Rocky I talking about Apollo Creed joking about “if he can’t fight, he can cook!”

(with reference to Rocky’s Italian lineage).

Paulie (his long suffering or so he said brother in law (later)) made the comment about “dont let it bother you, Rock!”

He said it didnt.

On the way out home that night though (they were watching the interview at his then sweetheart Adrian’s home) (they were old fashioned too, hehe, in case you didnt guess) (Stallone is nothing if not SMART) …

“Yo!” he tells Adrian.

YEs, she asks.

“You know how I said that didnt bother me?”, he goes.

Yes …

“It did!”

and he then walks off, having exposed his most inner feelings to her …

Yes, I know I said that opposite!

Same thing with ME.

Few things fire me up as someone saying either directly or indirectly “you can’t”.

Note – this doesnt hold true for trolls or Bozos, I’m talking folks who “really mean what they say or imply”.

Not drunken Bozos with heads in ass “Booz-O” style, hehe. Poor Brum!

But anyway, the new email signups where it redirects you to a new page was long overdue, and thankfully with the double optin (I finally!) implemented, it’s goodbye to the Bozo – unless he shows up on Amazon again, hehe.

(Which I kind of hope he does).

But anyway .. . women!

At the age of 19, a certain “J” I wont mention the name of .

“You can never have her! She’ll never go with you!”

HA!

(Not only that – she’s the heroine of one of my bestselling BOOKS – non fitness, of course. Fitness books ain’t got no romance, pally. The others … well!).

Or, my girlfriend in the US when I told my “family”.

“She’s too beautiful for you”, went my sister in a “huffy” sort of tone.

HA!

Then when I met and married my wife.

Same thing.

HO!

Now, all of the people that said or implied this knew deep down inside I was getting plenty from plenty of sources.

I gotta say this though – if these people knew the TRUE EXTENT to which even I didnt keep count – hehe – they’d be gobsmacked x 1000.

Maybe my Dad was “right” when he asked me if I had “any other wives” when they found out about my marriage in 2008 / 09 on the second page of the Times of India …

Hehe.

I should have done the fitness thing then too!

Anyway, where am I going with all this and what’s this got to do with you.

Well, nothing really.

Except …

One, I’m very qualified to write the book on Nazi feminism – yet another reason.

And two?

It ain’t about notches on the bedpost for me.

It’s about when they say you can’t do it – then DO IT x 1000000!

It may take years, but I’ll DO IT!

And do it I did, hehe, right down to a job in 2003 no-one wanted me to take, so much so that even I had second thoughts, but I took it anyway, and oh boy!

I cannot remember the Sufi Poem, but a certain Elizabeth credited in one of my books once mentioned the part about “God always drew a circle here around the spot where you’re standing now. You were always here!”

Maybe that explains the odd connection I’ve mentioned before between Chinese (and a lot of other) women and yours truly.

Part of it, at least.

Steve Jobs is credited in that book too – his great quote on connecting the dots backwards, and not forward (can’t be done) and how that approach served him so well over his life!

Yes, yes, I know.

“I’ve got no drive and desire but everyone else does!”

HA!

Anyway, point of this being – lets get back to fitness for the most part and life.

And you’ll see how this applies to you.

10 things – or SOME things I was told I could never do.

(or implied).

1. Grip Strength – I was always told “I think I’m so strong” – and that I had a weak grip.

HA!

2. That “I’d die by the age of 30 if I kept up my drinking” (beer – and I did).

HO!

3. That I’d never get in movie star like shape.

HA!

4. That “no girl would ever want me”.

HA! x 10000.

5. That no-one would buy my books.

HO!

6. That the books were too overpriced, and no-one would want them.

Hee, hee …

7. That I’d have to live under the corporate yoke the rest of my life, because “how dare I”.

HA!

8. That I’d never develop BRUTE strength that other had “naturally”.

HO!

9. That I’d put on weight anyway around the midsection “and the only reason I didnt at the age of 19 was I was young”, and “I’d see”.

Tee hee.

10. ….. well, I believe I’ve gone on long enough. But if those that made those comments read this, well, you know who you are!

(10 should have been “you’ll never win a case by fighting against anyone”.

HA!)

But anyway ….

When someone says NEVER to you, do you feel the PRICK OF ANGER ?

The desire to YELL “how the hell do you know” at the person?

The NEED to HAMMER the other person to Cain and beyond?

And so forth?

In short, it pisses you off, no?

Well, thats good – and bad.

It’s good if you get pissed off.

It’s bad if you undertake any of the other actions above.

Get pissed – but get EVEN.

And do so in the Napoleon Hill style of “Tell the world what you’re going to do, but SHOW IT FIRST!”

And as my books get translated into languages from Spanish to Portugese to French – well, Chinese is probably going to be the next one! Hehe.

If they say never?

“You’ll never be able to do pull-ups”, you might hear.

“You! How can you ever lose weight with your habits!”

“You! How could you ever work for yourself!”

And so forth.

I’m sure a lot of you have heard it.

Great.

Internalize it.

then get to work.

And hammer them – with your RESULTS – better than what you or they thought!

Remember, deep down inside, the criticism comes from those way more insecure in themselves than you.

The crab mentality – the crab trying to escape will always get pulled back – first!

or the other crabs will try, at least.

And they’ll all hate him for it, hehe.

Alright, this has gone on for long enough, but really, you get the photo!

When they say never – do it!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Perhaps the one course that sums up the “Ill show YOU!” mentality better than any other is this one – BAttletank Shoulders.

Get on the exercises, and routines therein, bro.

You’ll see.

You will … SEE!

HA!

PS #2 – Don’t be surprised if when confronted with your accomplishment down the road the Tom Tom’s and Naysayers whine and moan and “turn the other cheek”.  (or of course try and claim CREDIT for what is RIGHTFULLY YOUR CREDIT!)They’re not worth it in the first place anyway … and they know it, and so do you.

Onward – upward – and MORE!

( and no, “they weren’t just joking either”. Hehe. did I cover all the excuses?)
