Rocky’s speech to his son was very
inspirational. There was a point in the iconic film when I felt Rocky’s emotion as he explained to his son that
cowards blame others for their failures. Instead of taking the blame and rectifying
the situation the son blamed his father for all of his down falls and for his
boss treating him badly. One of the
things that resonates with me is when Rocky explained that life isn’t sweet,
nice and perfect. That life, in fact, is cruel and will beat you to your knees and keep
you there permanently if you let it.
I also was blown away by this strong statement, “You, me or nobody is going
to hit as hard as life, but it isn't about how hard you can 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!!!”
I love
that part because, I've been told this in not so many words. Being a sensitive person with a enormous heart, I
definitely have learned this in the most awkward of situations. I still have to
realize that life isn't going to just hand me over “the prize." Meditation force me to realize I was not going to get the good life if it meant I would be sitting on my butt not doing anything to get to where I need to go. I've seen time and time again that I wasn't going to be treated like a princess just because I wanted to be. I have recognized
that, if you want something you have to go and get it. This video was a nice
reflection of the life lessons I will continuously have to remember.
