Like most thirty-something guys, Rocky is one of my favorite characters. Always overcoming odds and working hard, no matter the obstacles or challenge that lies ahead of him. Relentless pursuit of his goals amidst overwhelming odds.

Going in one more round when you don’t think you can – that’s what makes all the difference in your life.

Nothing quite sums up Rocky’s journey like this, one of my favorite motivational clips of all time…

Duke: You’re gonna have to go through hell, worse than any nightmare you’ve ever dreamed. But when it’s over, I know you’ll be the one standing. You know what you have to do. Do it.

Man vs. machine. Nature versus science. Functional vs. technical. David vs. Goliath. Guess who comes out on top.

During this fight, I’ve seen a lot of changing, in the way you feel about me, and in the way I feel about you. In here, there were two guys killing each other, but I guess that’s better than twenty million. I guess what I’m trying to say, is that if I can change, and you can change, everybody can change!

Thanks for reading, have a great Rockyesque day!
