Friend,

I was starting this email out by talking to you about habit, showers, and so forth, something I’ve often spoken about.

But as I do certain things, as I think about my life, where I want to BE in a month – year – 5 years – and so forth, I gotta rap about other, related things.

Most of us don’t even think where we “want to be” beyond a wistful “I wish”.

Curiously enough, the terminology “what if” is hardly ever used.

I dreamed a large, luxury hotel last night right by the sea – sort of like the Marco Polo I stayed in years ago in Hong Kong.

True 5 star hotel, great service, great everything, right by the side.

My hotel was in “Macau”. Maybe that meant Hong Kong! Hehe.

But either way, thats a simplistic example.

But lets say someone really, really wants to stay at a hotel like that.

How do you do it?

Instantly, the brain will bring you 10,0000 reasons as to why you CANNOT do it.

And, what you keep seeing on social she-dia these days i.e. the Tom Tom’s talking about “those useless motivational speakers” that never do it themselves (curiously, these idiots living on their wives and girlfriends – what are they “doing” by saying it?) …

Rare is the person who looks at a goal practically impossible NOW, and says – “what if it WAS possible”.

What if I did this – took these actions – changed these things – and voila, I’m there!

Refer to what I wrote to you last night about Michael Bevan, thats another example.

No, my friend, while the world may be crazy around you, it doesnt mean YOU have to be crazy as well!

Personally, for me, every time I’ve REALLY wanted to do something – the heavens have opened for me – and in ways I’ve never think possible.

Routes were smoothed out, decisions were made, and all “on the spur of the moment” .. .much like a couple I made this morning.

If you trust the gut, that is what happens, friend.

Precious few people do.

Then you have those people that “just won’t change”.

When you ask them to do something that would benefit THEM eventually, they won’t do it because “how dare he tell me”.

So true – you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink.

Far too many people make the mistake of attempting to change others.

DOn’t do it, friend.

Yours truly is a perfect example of how people have tried to change, browbeat, mould me into something THEY Want – and can Tom Tom to others – family included.

Ultimately, I’ve never done it.

Ultimately, i’ve always known its what makes YOU happy that counts.

Unless YOU are happy, you’ll never make others happy.

Simple fact of life, bro.

Not changing is also why people end or leave relationships – again I’ve been there!

Sometimes, there are situations you cannot control.

But you can always control YOU – and your reaction to the situation – and what you make of it.

Life wasn’t always supposed to be fair, as David Goggins often says, and given his background, I’d listen to him!

There is a very good reason he is mentioned on the sales page for the book on “Pull-ups – from STUD to SUPER STUD within weeks!

Some may think it’s yet another book on pull-ups.

It ain’t either, friend.

Each one of David Goggins quotes, much like what Trump says, much like what Bezos says – much like what Napoleon Hill says – I could have written them!

Here is another gem he wrote (I’m paraphrasing) –

“You’re not stuck making less money than you think you should because of Trump, politics, or whatever reason. It’s because of YOU!”

Goggins hits hard, friend.

And for a guy that did pull-up workouts galore like Goggins did and still does – truly SUPER STUD level, it all resonates with me.

Like the time Goggins had to do 100 plus pull-ups.

(again, there is a REASON Doug Hepburn and a few others are on that page!)

He did one less rep on the last set.

That last rep haunted him.

That night, he came back – re-did it all again!

Hey, I get it bro.

As a client of mine once said,

“I feel you! I can see your passion for fitness!”

True dat.

I’ve ALWAYS completed what I set out to do workout wise. Cracked thumb, bleeding chin, hot weather, cold weather, rain – sleet – trees falling around me, I’d lace those damn shoes up, often smelly and stinky from the LAST workout, often soggy WET with all the rain, and I’d go again – for hours.

THAT is dedication.

THAT is life changing.

And when Goggins, former Navy Seal, Ranger, and far more says it, you can bet your bottom dollar it ain’t just some motivational hoo haa.

When Rahul Mookerjee says it, you can believe it too!

And on the power of habits – THAT is how it’s formed.

You DO, do, DO until not doing becomes ALIEN to you.

And it dont take that long, friend.

20-30 days is usually all it takes for people to form a new habit.

For example, there was a time in my life I couldn’t wake up without taking a shower first thing- or, having my coffee, taking a dump, then shower.

That was my routine for years.

I cannot remember the last time I woke up and had coffee. Hehe.

Tea, yes.

I cannot remember the last time I rushed to the shower in the morning.

It doesn’t even feel alien now!

I ALWAYS shower at night, but thats a habit I might change again… I dont know.

These days, and indeed for months, I’ve been doing brief workouts throughout the day that I’ve written about so often that keep me in super shape.

So can YOU.

I feel strange when I don’t do ’em!

Initially, for a guy that pumped out Ironman like hill climbs galore, this sort of thing felt strange and “not enough”.

After seeing the RESULTS though, I was addicted – hooked!

So question begets, my friend.

Are YOU willing to step up and take control of your life – despite the craziness?

There’s never been a better time in my opinion – when the herds grow by the day, REMOVE yourelf from that herd.

BE something.

Somebody.

ANYBODY!

And fitness wise, the road to super fitness starts with the 0 Excuses Fitness System.

15 minutes and your living room is all I ask of YOU, friend.

Not a hell of a lot to ask, I’d think!

Get your orders in – write back with your workouts and how they’ve nigh CHANGED and TRANSFORMED you both mentally and physically.

I’ll share ’em with the world!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee
