Blog # 6 - Getting Back On

I am back, and with a punch, the punch is not mine but it is a big punch J - read the Words

“Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is 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 is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much can you 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 you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that! I'm always gonna love you, no matter what. No matter what happens. You're my son, you're my blood. You're the best thing in my life. But until you start believing in yourself, you ain't gonna have a life.” – Rocky to his Son, Rocky Balboa, 2006

Why this quote?                                                

ü  There are two reasons, reason number one is the quote above and reason number two is the one below

ü  “It's not who you are underneath, but what you do that defines you” – Rachel Dawes to Bruce Wayne, Batman Begins, 2005

ü  We are what we do, nothing else.

ü  No matter how “put an adjective here” you think you are, if you don’t do it. You are not it.

ü  I made a promise to myself, and I am keeping it. That is me. I am back

What do I have to say?

ü  Not a lot, the quote sums it up so beautifully that any explanation would be trying to touch up something perfect, a futile effort.

ü  I am using it to tell you that I am back J more importantly to myself.

How does this help you?

ü  If you understand it and believe in it, I think this is the kind of stuff which will make you life a lot easier and importantly real

ü  It is not one of those “the world is beautiful”, “look at the bright side” or “It wasn’t your fault” approach. It ‘s very honest and straightforward appeal

ü  It is a father’s appeal to his son. A  father who is trying to pass on what he believes to be his core learning in his life to his only son

ü  It can help you all that optimism/excuse-making about life made you feel stupid and ignorant. You own the responsibility of your life, and only you get to decide who you give it to

When to use it?

ü  Like it says, when you know you what you are worth, then you go out and get what you are worth. You do this, Always

Don’t ask how do you I know if I am worth it. You have to know it inside you, and if you really are you will get what you are worth. Being is different from thinking, be what you are worth.
