"I prefer hard copy."
- Oh poo-poo and fuck you.
Similar to the douchebag who
comes over for dinner and says,
"I don't eat (fill in the damn blank.)"
Get the fuck outta here.
The trouble with waiting for perfect, right?
My name is Frank Zane
and I approve this message.
Think of something in your life you'd like to improve.
Just one thing you'd like to add, change, or remove.
Got it?
Good.
Now think of a few ideas of how you might move that needle. If you'd like to have more money, what are a few ways you could make some extra cash? Get creative!
Want some help?
- Sell your skills on various whore websites.
- Learn to do coding, how exciting.
- Rent out a room in your house to a serial killer.
- Teach stuff you know for money.
- Do market research to help businesses.
- Make things and sell them online.
- Deliver groceries on a stupid little scooter.
- Walk peoples' dogs with that serial killer hunting for humans.
The article best not be this obvious!
Orrrrrrrrrr, maybe you'd like to lose some fat and build some muscle?
Okay, let's brainstorm!
I'm foolin' around is all.
This is a book worth reading.
Not the hard copy version, though
'cause it's different, eh.
Brainstorm!
- Make an appropriate meal plan.
- Eat no fast food for a month.
- Learn to use portion control advantageously.
- Stop buying the foods you tend to overeat.
- Lift heavy weights a few times a week.
- Do a few cardio workouts a week.
- Go for a brrrrrrrisk walk every morning.
Or maybe you'd like to save more money, read more books (not them ebooks, no, never those), or learn a new skill.
Go ahead and make the list. I'll wait.
Dozen eggs
Jug of milk
Cry over spilled milk
Clean shoes
MY POINT IS . . . no matter what you'd like to change in your life, it's easy to compile a lengthy list of feasible ways to do it, fucking bozo. I do not understand, no, not at all.
Just find the joy in whatever it is that has you all fussing, fretting, postponing and later regretting.
This shite ain't complicated, but hey, what the fuck would I know.
The real question is why you're not doing any of those things. Why haven't you started? What are you waiting for? For the perfect moment? The perfect mood? The perfect day? For all your imaginary ducks to be in a row?
Let's face it . . . conditions will never be just right. Perfect is just another excuse that we use to stay comfortable and ensconced in the status quo.
When someone says they're going to do that one thing "one of these days," we all know the truth - if they haven't carved out the time and energy already, they probably never will. They'll keep dreaming instead of doing, until they eventually can't even bring themselves to dream anymore.
Napoleon Bonaparte, noted possessor of a huge ego and a wee-man complex, once said, "Sometimes death only comes from a lack of energy." Well, the surest way to suffer from a lack of energy is having a lack of ideas and challenges, from shouldering less burden than we can carry. In this way, waiting for perfect is a perfect way to die a little every day.
The only choice, then (now!), is to stop telling ourselves that we need things to be "just right" before we can start doing the thing. It'll never happen. Start now, and figure it out as you go. You can sit around and wait for the inspiration to run a marathon, or you can get up right now and go for a 10-minute jog. You can wait for the stars to align before starting that side hustle, or you can skip Netflix tonight and start reading on where to begin.
If you do this, if you can cast aside your fears, doubts and anxieties and just get into action instead, you'll begin a process far more profound than you probably realize. You'll find that the more you do, the more your attitudes and feelings will shift. Limiting opinions and rationalizations that were once dear to you will crumble and fade away. Behaviors that first felt alien and uncomfortable will become familiar and routine.

"I don't watch silent films,
don't watch subtitled movies,
it's too long to be very good,
black & white movies are depressing."
This Gance guy, oi vey.
A million miles ahead of the rest
at the time.
"Oi, oi, vey
I love to schtupp the goils."

In time, you'll become the rare type of person who is actually doing the thing.
Elon Musk personifies this . . . how about we just say piss off to that gentleman and move on to the next section. Yes? Wonderful! Get the book if you want that section. Every time I type anything relating to the guy I get insta-leprosy and lose a finger and half of one ball.
Here . . . are you happy now?
That's a better same thing!
I still don't eat pork or shellfish, though.
Just kill everyone already,
thank you so much.
Okay, a few cheers now in memory of Chuck Norris, the man, the memes, the legend.
Chuck Norris doesn't go to heaven,
he comes on heaven.
To be continued . . .
Enjoy Your Lifting!
