Hi, there! I’m Jeff Arthur with the Values Conversation. I suspect, like me, you too are a Rocky Balboa fan. I love the Rocky movies. Even Rocky #5 where he has a street fight and they on purpose decided to fight outside of the ring, etc. I can take gems out of that movie but the movie that is so great I think is the next one. Rocky #6, where I think the title is just Rocky Balboa.
Where he and his son are trying to figure out their relationship through the movie and there’s a part in the movie where him and his son have this back and forth and Rocky gives him some great fatherly advice that I think is so important. I encourage you to watch the movie. If you haven’t watched the movie, go get it and watch it. If you have, I encourage you to go back and listen to it again because in that movie, his son talks about how he can’t get out of his father’s shadow and his son goes into victimization, which is so easy for us to do. Rocky comes back at him and tells him that if he wants to do anything and get anywhere in life, he has to take responsibility for his own actions and pick himself up every time he gets knocked down. It doesn’t matter how many times you get knocked down. All that matters is that you get up one more time than what you got knocked down.
Great advice from Rocky Balboa. I’m Jeff Arthur with the Values Conversation. You can find out more about us online at our website at TVCLeadership.com.
