“Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you’re worth, go out and get what you’re worth, but you’ve got to be willing to take the hits and not pointing fingers and say you ain’t where you are because of him, her, or anybody. Cowards do that, and that ain’t you, you’re better that!”
This is so true, and not just because Rocky Balboa said it. I love you! You inspire me just as much as Rocky AND Rambo combined.
