Its Christmas once again. This is the time of the year when movie sequels get played over and over again. Harry Potter, Indiana Jones,  Star Wars and Rocky are among them. One of my Favorites, Rocky, gives us plenty of action. There is also examples of exercises we can perform to help us get stronger and scenes to show us how to train.

In Rocky 1 it was all about new beginnings. Going down a plain average  life. Micky told Rocky that he was a bum several times. He told him how he had potential to succeed but was blowing it. Rocky would always just go alone, real easy going until someone made him mad. Then his fighting would show. Whether he was fighting for something good or fighting in the ring. His toughness would come through. We are not made to be average. We are made to be leaders. To fight for what is right when needed to, and to push through the pain that is in front of us. Rocky was given a break when asked to fight in the championship fight. He took advantage of the opportunity. He trained hard. Although he did not win, he proved to himself that he could be better than what he was if he tried. Let’s push ourselves in 2022. Let’s try harder than the previous year. Not just in our exercising. But in our relationships with other people and our relationship with God;  in all areas of our lives. Let’s see where what level we take ourselves.
