One of my best motivational speeches is from Rocky Balboa in Rocky 6.I listen to it over and over again whenever I have the time.

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 permanently if you let..You,me,or anybody is going to hit you hard as life.

It's not about how hard you hit. It's about how hard we get hit 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 are worth then go out and get what you are worth. But you have to be willing to take a hit, 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!

Motivated. This was truly written for me.
