7
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:35.759
<v Speaker 2>You know, Monday, I put out a morning coffee talking

8
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:41.679
<v Speaker 2>about the hatred of Mondays. It's a day that I

9
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:45.200
<v Speaker 2>had said, you know, one time, that's kind of how

10
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:48.200
<v Speaker 2>I viewed it. But you know, since I've gotten into

11
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:53.159
<v Speaker 2>a new profession, Monday doesn't mean the same thing. The

12
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:58.799
<v Speaker 2>same is true of Friday. Friday now is deadline day. Also,

13
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:03.320
<v Speaker 2>to another livery night doesn't mean I don't look forward

14
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.200
<v Speaker 2>to it doesn't mean I don't enjoy it. It's just

15
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:10.519
<v Speaker 2>different than it was when I was working Monday through Friday,

16
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:17.840
<v Speaker 2>regular job. And I think perspective matters a lot. I

17
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:20.159
<v Speaker 2>think that's one of the things that we look at.

18
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:25.719
<v Speaker 2>And tonight or last night, as I was getting ready

19
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:29.719
<v Speaker 2>for bed, I was going through different things. You know,

20
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:33.079
<v Speaker 2>a bad habit we probably a lot of us have,

21
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:37.400
<v Speaker 2>is going through our reels on our social media, and

22
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:41.680
<v Speaker 2>I came across one. It's a scene I've seen a

23
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:47.359
<v Speaker 2>thousand times. It's from the movie Rocky Balboa, and in it,

24
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Rocky's having an argument with his son, and through that

25
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:59.879
<v Speaker 2>argument one of the most inspiring quotes in movie his

26
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:03.319
<v Speaker 2>takes place in my personal opinion, and it's one that

27
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:08.360
<v Speaker 2>you've seen people quote in graduation speeches. You've seen folks

28
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:12.840
<v Speaker 2>pull it in various places. If you've seen the movie,

29
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:16.240
<v Speaker 2>you know which quote I'm talking about. If you haven't,

30
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:19.240
<v Speaker 2>I'll share it with you here because I think it's

31
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:23.400
<v Speaker 2>inspirational and I think it's something that we can all

32
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:28.199
<v Speaker 2>grab on to. Rocky starts off and this is what

33
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.719
<v Speaker 2>he says here to his son. Let me tell tell

34
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:36.400
<v Speaker 2>you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine

35
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:41.960
<v Speaker 2>and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place. And

36
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:45.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't care how tough you are. It will beat

37
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:49.719
<v Speaker 2>you to your knees and keep you there permanently if

38
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:54.280
<v Speaker 2>you let it. You, me or nobody is going to

39
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:58.759
<v Speaker 2>hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how

40
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:03.080
<v Speaker 2>hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get

41
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:08.120
<v Speaker 2>hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take

42
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:13.840
<v Speaker 2>and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now,

43
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:18.680
<v Speaker 2>if you know what you're worth, then go out and

44
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:23.439
<v Speaker 2>get your worth. But you gotta be willing to take

45
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:28.800
<v Speaker 2>the hits and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where

46
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.240
<v Speaker 2>you want to be because of him, her or anybody.

47
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:37.919
<v Speaker 2>Cowards do that, and that ain't you. You're better than that.

48
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:43.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm always gonna love you no matter what, no matter

49
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:47.719
<v Speaker 2>what happens. You're my son, you're my blood. You're the

50
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:51.360
<v Speaker 2>best thing in my life. But until you start believing

51
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:58.759
<v Speaker 2>in yourself, you ain't gonna have a life. That line,

52
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.560
<v Speaker 2>even if you remove the last part talking about his son,

53
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:06.719
<v Speaker 2>and you just go into the first part of it,

54
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:09.919
<v Speaker 2>it ain't how hard you hit, it's how hard you

55
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:14.240
<v Speaker 2>can get hit and keep moving forward. It's about how

56
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:21.920
<v Speaker 2>much you can take and keep moving forward. It's awesome.

57
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:26.759
<v Speaker 2>That is how winning's done. And it's one of those

58
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:31.000
<v Speaker 2>lines that you hear in a movie, and maybe when

59
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:34.519
<v Speaker 2>you hear it the first time, you don't realize how

60
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:39.680
<v Speaker 2>inspirational that could be. You don't realize how that speech

61
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:43.519
<v Speaker 2>can really apply to any one of us. We've all

62
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:47.680
<v Speaker 2>had moments in our lives where we felt less than

63
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:53.600
<v Speaker 2>We've all had moments in our lives where the chips

64
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:58.639
<v Speaker 2>were stacked against us, where life had beaten us down.

65
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.920
<v Speaker 2>You were knocked down. Sometimes you maybe didn't think you

66
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:06.560
<v Speaker 2>were going to get back up, but you know what

67
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:13.560
<v Speaker 2>you did, and you're better for it. I go back

68
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:22.360
<v Speaker 2>to the end of twenty twenty four. Losing the job

69
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:25.439
<v Speaker 2>i'd had for thirteen years was a job I wasn't

70
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:31.199
<v Speaker 2>happy in. I've admitted that numerous times. There was a

71
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:33.879
<v Speaker 2>lot of fear. There was a lot of concern because

72
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:38.199
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know what was next for me. But you

73
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:42.240
<v Speaker 2>know what I did. I got up and I'm better

74
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:44.959
<v Speaker 2>for it because now I'm in a profession that I enjoy.

75
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:49.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm working with people that I consider family. I'm working

76
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:53.160
<v Speaker 2>for someone that I know actually gives a crap about

77
00:05:53.199 --> 00:06:01.759
<v Speaker 2>its employees. It's a better, better world. And that's one

78
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:05.720
<v Speaker 2>of those things that again, if when I'd gotten knocked

79
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:10.079
<v Speaker 2>down and gotten the gut punch of being let go

80
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:13.920
<v Speaker 2>from a job and allowed that to be my defining moment,

81
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:17.000
<v Speaker 2>it would have been over for me. But I didn't.

82
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:20.959
<v Speaker 2>And then when the opportunity came to take a risk,

83
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:25.680
<v Speaker 2>which it is a risk to start a new profession,

84
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:30.279
<v Speaker 2>especially at my age. But I took that risk and

85
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:36.879
<v Speaker 2>I found something special and I'm actually enjoying it for

86
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:39.759
<v Speaker 2>the longest time. And I've said this before. I didn't

87
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:43.120
<v Speaker 2>believe that a job was something that you were going

88
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:48.160
<v Speaker 2>to enjoy. But I don't believe that anymore. And part

89
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:50.360
<v Speaker 2>of the reason I wanted to share that quote with

90
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:54.560
<v Speaker 2>people and put that out into the world this Friday

91
00:06:54.600 --> 00:07:00.519
<v Speaker 2>as you enter into the weekend, is if your feelings,

92
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:04.360
<v Speaker 2>if you feel like life has knocked you down, get up.

93
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:11.480
<v Speaker 2>You can keep going. We all can. And yeah, it's

94
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:17.600
<v Speaker 2>gonna knock you down harder than anything else, but you're

95
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:21.560
<v Speaker 2>not alone. You've got people around you that will help you.

96
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Don't be afraid to take the risk, especially if you're

97
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:32.959
<v Speaker 2>miserable in your current situation. Punch forward, figure out a

98
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:38.759
<v Speaker 2>way to move in the correct direction. I can promise

99
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:48.399
<v Speaker 2>you that once you move forward and past this moment,

100
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:54.319
<v Speaker 2>you'll be better for it. Life's tough, but you can

101
00:07:54.360 --> 00:08:00.720
<v Speaker 2>be tougher because, as Rocky said, that is how winning

102
00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:05.959
<v Speaker 2>is done. This has been morning Coffee with the Right Side,

103
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:10.399
<v Speaker 2>and I'm your host, Jack Fairchilds, and we're a part
