But somewhere along the line, you changed. You stopped being<br>you. You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you\u2019re no good.<br>And when things got hard, you started lookin\u2019 for something to blame, like a<br>big shadow.<br>Let me tell you something you already know.The world ain\u2019t all sunshine<br>and rainbows. It\u2019s a very mean and nasty place, and I don\u2019t care how tough<br>you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if<br>you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain\u2019t about<br>how hard you hit, it\u2019s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving<br>forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That\u2019s how<br>winning is done!&#8221;<br>What does this have to do with Br\u0101v? Well, Br\u0101v knows life isn&#8217;t perfect<br>either, and we often have to go through a lot of unnecessary strife. As a<br>result, Br\u0101v provides the resources to keep on moving forward. Getting<br>hassled or maligned? Don&#8217;t internalize it, weighing you down; let&#8217;s hash out<br>our differences with Br\u0101v.<br>Like Rocky, Br\u0101v encourages, &#8220;now if you know what you\u2019re worth, then go<br>out and get what you\u2019re worth! But you gotta be willing to take the hits. And<br>not pointing fingers saying you ain\u2019t where you wanna be because of him, or<br>her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain\u2019t you! You\u2019re better than<br>that!\u201d<br>Br\u0101v knows your worth. Br\u0101v knows you&#8217;re better than that.
