Rocky Inspires you...

This post isn't about Sylvester Stallone, it isn't about the boxing saga of the Rocky film series. Its about the inspiring words which the character Rocky Balboa spoke!

The lines from Rocky's speech have always helped me on days when hope seemed to fade. When I first came to England, life was real tough, ups and downs, full of challenges. The below picture used to be the wallpaper on my laptop for a long time and every time I open it, I used to read these lines and they've always given me strength:

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 gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get it 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 then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!

No matter how many times you read or listen to this speech, you'll still have a little bit of inspiration to pick every time!! 

This speech is so true for everyone, many of us find excuses for not being able to achieve the level of success we dream to achieve, this speech shows that it is all about how hard you try, how much effort you put in, determination and the will to give up everything to get where you wanna get!! 

The line, "Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!" implies that you need not be someone extraordinary or great to taste success - but you just have to be better than a coward, drive away that laziness or inertia that is holding you back and see how things start to change.

Have a wonderful day, Cheers!! :)
