This world is not sunshine and rainbows... it's a 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 going to hit you as hard as life... but it's not 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 living is done!

If you believe in something... then go out and get what you believe in... but you have to be willing to take the hits, and not point fingers... saying you are not where you want to be because of him, her, or anybody else...

Cowards do that... and I do not believe that any of you are cowards... you are all better then that...

Paraphrased from the new Rocky movie...

That motivates me a lot...
