all sunshine and rainbows

Rocky Balboa is the final film in the “Rocky” series. An aging Rocky is inspired to fight his last match against the undefeated heavyweight champion. Many people, including his son, believe Rocky will be humiliated.

In this scene, Rocky and his adult son are standing outside Rocky’s restaurant. His son is upset because Rocky has decided to fight again. He tells Rocky, “Now, I’m asking you, as a favor, not to go through with this. This is gonna end up bad for you, and it’s gonna end up bad for me.”

“You think I’m hurting you?”

“Yeah. In a way, you are.”

“That’s the last thing I ever wanted to do.”

“I know that’s not what you wanna do, but that’s just the way it is. Don’t you care what people think? Doesn’t it bother you that people are making you out to be a joke, and that I’ll be included in that? Do you think that’s right?”

Rocky thinks for a moment, then points to the palm of his hand and says, “You ain’t gonna believe this, but you used to fit right here. I’d hold you up and say to your mother, ‘This kid is gonna be the best kid in the world. This kid is gonna be somebody better than anybody ever knew.’ And you grew up good and wonderful.

“Then the time came 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 someone to blame. 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 if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.

“But it ain’t about how hard you 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! You gotta be willing to take the hits and not point fingers, saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him or her or anybody! Cowards do that, and that’s not you!”

What is your direction gonna be?

Give Kindness As Much As You Can

Give kindness, and it keeps going. Give kindness, and it continues long past the original expression.

Kindness inspires more kindness. A little bit of kindness can go a long, long way.

But why stop with just a little? Offer great kindness, again and again, and you truly change the world.

Think of how good it feels when someone is kind to you. Make it your goal to pass that feeling along to others every chance you get.

Give kindness and something amazing happens. Your own strength, confidence and joy will increase.

Add some kindness to your world today. And see the positive benefits as it continues to grow beyond you.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a funny thing. It warms the heart and cools the sting.

Forgiveness is an idea we love to hate or dismiss. The whole notion makes me grumpy as hell. I don't like it but the Universe couldn't care less.

Many people are afraid to forgive because they feel they must remember the wrong or they will not learn from it. The opposite is true. Through forgiveness, the wrong is released from its emotional stranglehold on us so that we can learn from it. Through the power and intelligence of the heart, the release of forgiveness brings expanded intelligence to work with the situation more effectively.

Try forgiving today and feel the rain on your skin :)

Are you willing?

There is no limit to the number of ways in which you can create real value. Breathe deeply, smile lovingly, and just do it.

The moment you're in is plenty. The place where you are is an ideal place from which to move forward.

Instead of punishing yourself with regret, delight yourself with the possibilities. Get busy creating and living a beautiful now.

Yes, you are ready to be your best. Let go of the doubts and let it happen. I recharged the phone which had his memories. I switched it on and read his messages. His 'I love you', 'I miss you', 'I want you'... but he is gone now. With his words. I have a record, he seems to have forgotten. I am making an effort to forget. I think I love him too much. But love cannot bound my life. Especially knowing his life is far apart from mine.

You can create your very own future, and you are doing so even now. Take this opportunity to fill it with what you know to be good and valuable and meaningful.

There is immense beauty in you that you have not yet seen. Share it with the world and live the joy of discovery as that beauty continues to unfold.

I Love this Doctor [i am sure you will too]

Doctor's Advice

Q : I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true?

A : Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap..

Q : Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?

A : You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.

Q : Should I reduce my alcohol intake?

A : No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!

Q : How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?

A : Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.

Q : What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?

A : Can't think of a single one, sorry.. My philosophy is : No Pain...Good!

Q : Aren't fried foods bad for you?

A : YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!! .... Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?

Q : Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?

A : Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.

Q : Is chocolate bad for me?

A : Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It's the best feel-good food around!

Q : Is swimming good for your figure?

A :'If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.

Q : Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?

A : Hey! 'Round' is a shape!

Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.

And remember :

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO, What a Ride'

AND.......

For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.

1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans..

3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION

Eat and drink what you like.
Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

I will cry for you.

For those who have cared for me even once, I will not have the heart to hurt them.

My heart still cries for him who was once the world I had.

The truth of life is to let the happy memory be.

Let not time fade it.

I will cry for you because somewhere in your heart you cry for me.

Abundance

Before you seek more, ask yourself this. Are you doing all you can with what you already have?

Gratitude is a powerful and undeniable way to bring more abundance into your life. By making full use of what you have, you're expressing gratitude in a sincere and effective way.

Your life already has richness that you have not yet discovered. But if you're constantly wanting more, you'll never even realize that richness is there.

This very moment is filled with joys that are waiting to be experienced. This very day is full of beauty that is waiting to be seen and appreciated.

Decide today to discover some new treasure that is already yours. Instead of striving for more, fully accept and celebrate what already is.

Abundance is all around you. See it and it is yours.
