Let me tell you something…

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 ya 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!

Sylvester Stallone, Rocky Balboa

Be your own spark when external ones dry up.

Be your own spark when external ones dry up! Boxing seems to be dropping off as far as how many watch. This, I believe, would have happened long ago if a very well made and extremely emotionally and influential movie had not won best picture on March 28, 1977! That movie…”Rocky”! I still remember working out in my grandmas barn and listening to my battery operated radio and getting to hear that wonderful “Rocky “ soundtrack song! You see we lived in the country and didn’t get cable or anything but an am radio station that I found, played that song every hour at times. Folk’s I owe my progress to that movie, that song and my mind being able to use those images when I needed them and the ability to keep going when they were not there! WOW, I loved that movie!
