Below is my favorite quote from 'Rocky'. Truly inspiring and encourages me whenever I feel down.
"I'd hold you up to say to your mother, "this kid's gonna be the best kid in the world. This kid's gonna be somebody better than anybody I ever knew."
And you grew up good and wonderful. It was great just watching you, every day was like a privilige.
Then the time come for you to be your own man and take on the world, and you did. But somewhere along the line, you changed. You stopped being you. You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you're no good. And when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow.
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 it 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're worth then go out and get what you're worth.
But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, 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! You're better than that! I'm always gonna love you no matter what. No matter what happens. You're my son and you're my blood. You're the best thing in my life. But until you start believing in yourself, ya ain't gonna have a life"
Yes the world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. Fight!

Life and My View of It
There are times when I do nothing and my mind goes wondering: what is the purpose of my life? Why do I exist in the first place? If I didn't exist at all, what would have changed? How does it feel like to not exist? Emptiness, blankness, darkness, hollow..
As you start asking these questions you will view life in a whole different way. Most people live their lives like an automated machine, better known as robots. You wake up in the morning, have your breakfast, work, lunch, go home, interact with your children, dinner, and by the end of the day you kiss your lifetime partner good night. The cycle continues, goes on and on.. They pretty much screw their lives. I can't say I am no different from them, because I myself am searching for the perfect way of life and would like to align myself once I find it.
I am not truly satisfied with my way of living, yet. I have come nowhere near the fulfillment of my dream, my wishes, my goals. Men trying to define the right way of life seems like a mad man trying to explain why the he is actually sane. Our brain capacity has its limit, though research has proven that during the course of their lives, men only tap on 10% capacity of their brain with the remaining 90% never finds its way to the surface. Perhaps if one can really utilize his brain capability to the maximum, he will become God Himself.
Humans' behaviors are greatly affected by how they view life. Is their life beautiful? Or do they live a pathetic life? It is the lenses from which we view the world. Life viewed by a 5-year old boy and by an abused child might not be the same. A 5-year old boy with constant love and attention given by his parents might not experience the pain felt by a child whose parents keep abusing him. The reality of a happy family is not there from the start. The actual difference lies in our perspective and social conditioning. Yet, in reality we only have one earth.
I myself view world as a mean to express myself. I truly believe that you will obtain what you truly desire, not what you want. Simply wanting something is not enough. My future me, my future life depends on the present me. Where you are today is decided by yesterday's decision. Similarly, where you will be tomorrow depends on what you do today. This simple fact always helps me carve my way towards my goal and prevents me from going in the wrong direction. So, live your life to the fullest, have no regret, and achieve your dreams!
