This is something I've written about so often, my friend, yet people refuse to get it, even more so these days.
The slightest hint of trouble, they piss, moan, whine , complain ... all of it. Anything but actually just saying "lets get back to work".
Ultimately I've said it before so many times, I'll say it again. Be fluid, like water, like Bruce Lee, also - in addition - BE just as unforgiving as the waves of the ocean or even a drop of water falling on your head in that famous Chinese water torture we all know about. Trust me, those drops over months can drive people literally insane if done right.
Not many know it, but Bruce Lee was probably the most lunar of people that we all know of (the famous ones that is). There are people more lunar yes, but he's a classic example of achievement while in lunar mode. People think physical fighting is all solar. No. It is not.
Water will eventually grind down the toughest of rocks. Persistence is to man's character what carbon is to steel - Napoleon Hill in Think and Grow Rich and as he rightly said, this is a quality that cannot be replaced by any other.
You can be the most talented, biggest, strongest, sexiest, all of that, intelligent even, but without faith and sheer persistence backed by that FAITH - nothing happens.
Words are cheap. Its easy to talk ; even easier to read, but very few know what it means to LOSE IT ALL and yet keep going. It's the most liberating feeling ever. Like I keep saying, success isn't a one stop thing. You have to keep climbing that hill or some one else will take your place, or you climb it more times! It's a fickle bird and will take WINGS AND FLY AWAY INSTANTLY IF YOU LET IT!
Anyway. Its easy to read all this. Most will, then they'll do nothing. Like people tell me about "I wish I had a business". I'm like, ok, start one. Then they respond with "normally I'm just a slave at my company".
And y'all whine about my usage of the word SLAVE when here we have highly paid tech guys saying it to me. Haha.
I get it, I got tired of being a code monkey a long time ago, actually I was never really that from the get go, I was always a more overall management guy. Of course I was told a bunch of outright lies at home about management etc, never given the real deal so I learned it myself, but whatever, we've been over that story. Like why the hell would you be a VP or whatever he was, and have a boss, yet not tell your son until he was 35 or so that he wasn't the "real boss" as he kept saying he was, but that there was actually one above him? And that was only told to me "because they had to" - long story - my house is like that (I mean the one growing up). Complete chaos, DYSFUNCTION central, and ever since my ex allied with them, she's gone completly batshit insane too as you know. Anyway - this isn't about that - just a random thought there I've spoken about before.
I was always told actually that I "knew zero" and even when I knew more than others, I was told to learn from those that knew less than me, makes no sense. But anyway, as you know, the overriding theme of that household was to make the men slaves, and brutal mental and sometimes physical - unwarranted - torture for those that refused to be. I was once threatened "we'll make you work as a mechanic all day!" - in grade eight - why? Because I didn't wear jeans or some garbage, or grades weren't up, or some BS - and this by a guy who doesn't know how to change a car tyre himself, talk about self projection. I could name several others we all know of that don't, lol.
Anyway ............(one reason there was social ostracism, that work was looked down upon and still is big time, like women working as housemaids etc).
Don't get me started huh.
Back to it - the Rocky series was a great example of what I'm talking about.
Guy started off as a nobody. Years of persistence got him a shot with Creed. He barely made it to round 14, but DIDNT GIVE UP.
Most men give up, as Napoleon Hill rightly wrote about at the first sign, 1 or 2 years of failure, no results, they GIVE UP. Most barely even reach the stage spoken about above.
And then in Rocky we see he never gave up - kept coming back, right? Like Creed's trainer told him "you don't defeat a man like that".
Ultimately you have to force a result out of life.
Whatever you want, whichever way you choose to, but the result matters, pal.
So he was standing. He lost, but he won.
And the last Rocky movie series, poetically and prosaically, I don't know how or why I'm using both words at the same time but that's what it is - same.
So he "bowed out" unbeaten, exactly the way he came onto the scene.
SO he never ultimately lost.
In the modern world, the best and most recent example is the recent Tate - De Moor match. No, I did not watch it, in my current mode I'm not watching ANYTHING, not even Donald Trump speaking, haha. I don't know why, just the way it is for now.
You know - all throughout I had the feeling Tate was trying to create his own Rocky.
His "loss" - wasn't really a loss in my book. I mean he went the distance, bottom line - and for a dude that is, by choice, stacking the odds against him - opponent bigger, heavier, active fighter, younger, all of that, hungrier too perhaps - - while Tate with his money and success (that he fully deserves by the way - we all Google him now and see his cars etc, but no-one remembers the DECADE where he put out video after video, the times they literally ate leftover KFC chicken because they couldn't afford anything to eat even - literally like 10 or 30 people watched them for that time, then he really blew up during Covid etc, and now here we are. He didn't give up - classic example again) - mucho respect anyway.
He still trains and most importantly, WORKS like a madman daily - despite his obvious amount of wealth, he doesn't sit around wasting time talking to girls, which is precisely what that is, a WASTE OF VALUABLE RESOURCE, the most valuable ever, your own TIME. And thoughts.
Who eventually wins?
Dr Hannibal Lecter, M.D. Cut it any which way you like, losers and larpers, but you gotta have a singular obsession in mind to ultimately WIN. And more importantly, keep winning, not make the same mistake everyone else does after winning big once - get fat and lazy and outta shape. And yes, like I've said, I've committed that mistake myself, and I've learned very harsh lessons along the way as you know, and I'm super GRATEFUL, yes, GRATEFUL x 10 for it all.
Decide for yourself if you do.
Here I am, training like a madman while smoking like a madman x 10 "chimney' as idiots tell me, yet, I'm not the one coughing up a storm as everyone outside is. OH ITS SO POLLUTED! Even for young people. They can barely breathe, I'm hitting PR's in every workout - CARDIO WISE!!!! With all my habits y'all troll so much. Cope.
Exactly the same as the Rocky movie, which is my point - I thought that is what Tate wanted when he was doing it.
"Lets see if I still got it".
Classic!
And obviously he does, win or loss ultimately matters not.
The other thing I wanted to say - something I've been saying a very long time. Remember the old school "Dongguan Expat" days where you'd go hard at people and then sit down with them, have a beer at the end of the day, and then go harder the next day, lol?
But you kept shit on the field, not the modern day garbage.
There was so much shit talking on De Moor's part before the fight, but after it?
Complete reversal - after the win. Maybe he wants to keep his job, hehe - that's part of it, but hey, you can tell - what happens is two men get together and either fight it out, drink it out, DUKE it out, whatever it is - and then you get back to normalcy. Its women that carry grudges forever and never talk openly with each other. Cuckolds too.
Credit was given to the winner openly - "0 Excuses" - indeed that is what they said, no excuses. As it should be, and there might be more layers to all this than is evident, but I doubt it, the vibes don't lie - anyway - De Moor from what I read was literally in tears after winning. Classic "elder - younger", or mentor - mentee vibes there, it was beautiful to watch, that part of it. Thank you, guys!
Not many have noticed it, but I did - Andrew was in complete lunar - well, getting into it - shedding the solar (but not losing it) mode during the camp, training, all of it.
Watch him speak before all this, watch him speak when I'm talking about, and you'll get what I mean if you are wise to vibes, and you really should and must be, its all that matters.
The world, like I said is going lunar.
And trust me, our great products were all written in lunar vein.

Never give up. Never, no matter what. Never listen to them saying "its been five years already or other tosh". Stick it out. Make it work. After a certain point, BRUTE FORCE OVERPOWERS ALL RESISTANCE.
Brute sexuality too. That one is obvious.
Do not quit.
Best,
Dr Rahul Mookerjee, M.D.
