“When the going gets tough, the tough get going” – Raised by a strong woman myself, I was constantly taught this growing up. Life isn’t easy but nothing can stop you if you decide to simply keep going. Well, that’s what successful people always do. One such person is Sylvester Stallone who decided to never ever give up no matter what life threw at him. From spending his early teenage years in foster care and suffering from being born with permanent facial paralysis to bagging countless Academy Awards and being an inspiration even in his 70s, his story is truly inspiring. So, if you too are a true champion who likes to see light at the end of every tunnel then no matter how hard life hits you, you will fight back. Meanwhile, we have a list of some inspiring quotes by Sylvester Stallone to keep you going!
1. “I believe any success in life is made by going into an area with blind, furious optimism.”
You know what to do! Tell yourself that ‘all iz well’
2. “The fear is the fuel that we use for overachievement. If I wasn’t afraid at times, I wouldn’t work as hard.”
Fear sometimes keeps you going!
3. “A lot of guys have muscles. A lot of strong men in this world. I think it’s important to show that even under all this strength there’s a fragile side, a side that can be affected.”
It’s okay to have that side, ladies!
4. “Every champion was once a contender that refused to give up.”
Wake up and kick ass. Everyday!
