Lollipop motivation

(Click to see the photo full-size.)

This is a paraphrased quote from the Rocky Balboa movie, shared with me by a friend. While it may be a paraphrase of the movie quote, it is verbatim what my friend said -- except that I added the exclamation point at the end.  :)  The message both made me smile and made me think -- gave me even more perspective, I suppose you could say. All things considered, I really am doing alright, but I still appreciate things like this that I can keep in mind to help me through rough times.

I jotted the message down by hand and have it standing against my computer monitor at work, so it can serve as a daily reminder and motivation for me ... keep it fresh in my mind. I've taken a lot during the course of my little lifetime, as have so many others, but I'm still here and still going; "life goes on." So I know this, too, shall pass, and I'll once again keep on going, as I always have.  I'll always "still keep going."

The first sentence of the quote does always make me smile.  :)  I can imagine the oh-so-tough Rocky saying "lollipops."  Personally, I think whoever wrote the screenplay or script for the movie should have replaced "rainbows" with "lollipops."  I like this quote better than theirs.  :)
