hey buddy,
know you are down lately. just wanna share sth with you. it is from Rocky Balboa: what rocky told his son, when his son tried to stop him from boxing again.
Let me tell you something you already know. The world aint all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it aint how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit. and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that!
i like this line very much. and i think it's what life is all about: being hit and keep moving forward no matter how bad the situation is. Good or bad, highs and lows, what you are through will turn you a better and stronger person. and I truly believe that what you and Nolan have encountered/ will encounter during the whole preparation, whatever it is, joy, happiness, tears, anger, difficulties... all they come for 1 reason - to prepare you two a better and stronger couple to face all other challenges ahead. isn't it a good opportunity for you to see how Nolan loves you, to see how strong you can be? "United, we fight" remember? so whenever you two are together, there's NOTHING can bring you down. repeat after me: NOTHING.
and of course you have good friends like me who always pray for you lor, so don't worry, be happy! hahahaha
Rachel
