Speaker 1: When you were ready to double down, dive in, try
Speaker 1: for a shell and not look up. Roll into Pearl River.
Speaker 1: Rezuot from tea times to table games, water slides by day,
Speaker 1: slots by night. Savor the flavors, feel the fun. Win big.
Speaker 1: Let's roll into Pearl River Resort must be twenty what
Speaker 1: Rolder to play gambling problem called one hunter Gimbler.
Speaker 2: You know, Monday, I put out a morning coffee talking
Speaker 2: about the hatred of Mondays. It's a day that I
Speaker 2: had said, you know, one time, that's kind of how
Speaker 2: I viewed it. But you know, since I've gotten into
Speaker 2: a new profession, Monday doesn't mean the same thing. The
Speaker 2: same is true of Friday. Friday now is deadline day. Also,
Speaker 2: to another livery night doesn't mean I don't look forward
Speaker 2: to it doesn't mean I don't enjoy it. It's just
Speaker 2: different than it was when I was working Monday through Friday,
Speaker 2: regular job. And I think perspective matters a lot. I
Speaker 2: think that's one of the things that we look at.
Speaker 2: And tonight or last night, as I was getting ready
Speaker 2: for bed, I was going through different things. You know,
Speaker 2: a bad habit we probably a lot of us have,
Speaker 2: is going through our reels on our social media, and
Speaker 2: I came across one. It's a scene I've seen a
Speaker 2: thousand times. It's from the movie Rocky Balboa, and in it,
Speaker 2: Rocky's having an argument with his son, and through that
Speaker 2: argument one of the most inspiring quotes in movie his
Speaker 2: takes place in my personal opinion, and it's one that
Speaker 2: you've seen people quote in graduation speeches. You've seen folks
Speaker 2: pull it in various places. If you've seen the movie,
Speaker 2: you know which quote I'm talking about. If you haven't,
Speaker 2: I'll share it with you here because I think it's
Speaker 2: inspirational and I think it's something that we can all
Speaker 2: grab on to. Rocky starts off and this is what
Speaker 2: he says here to his son. Let me tell tell
Speaker 2: you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine
Speaker 2: and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place. And
Speaker 2: I don't care how tough you are. It will beat
Speaker 2: you to your knees and keep you there permanently if
Speaker 2: you let it. You, me or nobody is going to
Speaker 2: hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how
Speaker 2: hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get
Speaker 2: hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take
Speaker 2: and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now,
Speaker 2: if you know what you're worth, then go out and
Speaker 2: get your worth. But you gotta be willing to take
Speaker 2: the hits and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where
Speaker 2: you want to be because of him, her or anybody.
Speaker 2: Cowards do that, and that ain't you. You're better than that.
Speaker 2: I'm always gonna love you no matter what, no matter
Speaker 2: what happens. You're my son, you're my blood. You're the
Speaker 2: best thing in my life. But until you start believing
Speaker 2: in yourself, you ain't gonna have a life. That line,
Speaker 2: even if you remove the last part talking about his son,
Speaker 2: and you just go into the first part of it,
Speaker 2: it ain't how hard you hit, it's how hard you
Speaker 2: can get hit and keep moving forward. It's about how
Speaker 2: much you can take and keep moving forward. It's awesome.
Speaker 2: That is how winning's done. And it's one of those
Speaker 2: lines that you hear in a movie, and maybe when
Speaker 2: you hear it the first time, you don't realize how
Speaker 2: inspirational that could be. You don't realize how that speech
Speaker 2: can really apply to any one of us. We've all
Speaker 2: had moments in our lives where we felt less than
Speaker 2: We've all had moments in our lives where the chips
Speaker 2: were stacked against us, where life had beaten us down.
Speaker 2: You were knocked down. Sometimes you maybe didn't think you
Speaker 2: were going to get back up, but you know what
Speaker 2: you did, and you're better for it. I go back
Speaker 2: to the end of twenty twenty four. Losing the job
Speaker 2: i'd had for thirteen years was a job I wasn't
Speaker 2: happy in. I've admitted that numerous times. There was a
Speaker 2: lot of fear. There was a lot of concern because
Speaker 2: I didn't know what was next for me. But you
Speaker 2: know what I did. I got up and I'm better
Speaker 2: for it because now I'm in a profession that I enjoy.
Speaker 2: I'm working with people that I consider family. I'm working
Speaker 2: for someone that I know actually gives a crap about
Speaker 2: its employees. It's a better, better world. And that's one
Speaker 2: of those things that again, if when I'd gotten knocked
Speaker 2: down and gotten the gut punch of being let go
Speaker 2: from a job and allowed that to be my defining moment,
Speaker 2: it would have been over for me. But I didn't.
Speaker 2: And then when the opportunity came to take a risk,
Speaker 2: which it is a risk to start a new profession,
Speaker 2: especially at my age. But I took that risk and
Speaker 2: I found something special and I'm actually enjoying it for
Speaker 2: the longest time. And I've said this before. I didn't
Speaker 2: believe that a job was something that you were going
Speaker 2: to enjoy. But I don't believe that anymore. And part
Speaker 2: of the reason I wanted to share that quote with
Speaker 2: people and put that out into the world this Friday
Speaker 2: as you enter into the weekend, is if your feelings,
Speaker 2: if you feel like life has knocked you down, get up.
Speaker 2: You can keep going. We all can. And yeah, it's
Speaker 2: gonna knock you down harder than anything else, but you're
Speaker 2: not alone. You've got people around you that will help you.
Speaker 2: Don't be afraid to take the risk, especially if you're
Speaker 2: miserable in your current situation. Punch forward, figure out a
Speaker 2: way to move in the correct direction. I can promise
Speaker 2: you that once you move forward and past this moment,
Speaker 2: you'll be better for it. Life's tough, but you can
Speaker 2: be tougher because, as Rocky said, that is how winning
Speaker 2: is done. This has been morning Coffee with the Right Side,
