This is a great quote from Rocky. I think of his referal of life as the struggles you we face when we hit a wall and want to give up, or when we have faced hard times from OTHERS who try to hurt us about our weight or fitness level or what have you. Just an overall good quote to think of when you need an extra push! Its a hard lifestyle we are facing! But an amazing journey if you embrace it as if it were an old friend!

~The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place 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!.~

    RIght now, I've got a few of them....

    "The voice in your head that says that you can't do this is a liar."

    "If you're tired of starting over, stop giving up."

    Jimmy Dugan's (Tom Hanks) line in "A League of their Own" - somehting to the effect of: "It's supposed to be hard. It's the hard that makes it worth it. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it."

    Some favorite ones of mine, damn me for not penning the authors :grumble:


    ~We cannot solve our problems
    with the same thinking we used
    when we created them.

    ~Our greatest glory consists
    not in never falling, but in
    rising every time we fall.

    ~To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make
    you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

    ~Strength does not come from physical capacity.
    It comes from an indomitable will.

    ~So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.
    Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and
    demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify
    all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in
    the service of your people. When it comes your time to die, be not like
    those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time
    comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over
    again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.”
