Tony Robbins Tells The Rocky Story

March 16th, 2008 | Category: Inspirational

A friend of mine just passed along this video from Youtube.  It tells the story of Sylvester Stallone and his development of the Rocky movie.  It’s a great story that shows the power of perseverance, consistency, and the refusal to give up on your dreams.  Many who grew up watching Rocky have no idea how it all began.  Take a look at the clip below to hear the interesting story.  You’ll likely find some motivation in the process…

Enjoy,

    Outstanding!

    I have a lot of time for Sly. He has a massive following over at AintItCoolNews, and justifiably so in my opinion.

    have read enough about sly over the years to know he is ‘a force’ and i believe a decent human being. incredible, heart pulling, story- thanks ross.

    yeah I always wondered why he talked like that and all. I knew you couldn’t just be like that.

    But that story quite frankly astounds me. I have never wanted something in my life that bad. I mean he took years of starvation to chase his dream over keeping his dog and his wife for a nice home life just to chase his dream. I have trouble with not eating breakfast. Quite frankly I have no idea how anyone could be in that psition and turn down all that money.

    That is one of the most amazing stories I have ever heard. I knew he faced a lot of rejections before getting the movie made but I never knew it was that bad or that he was that determined. Thank you for sharing this with us.

    Sly was great until he started advocating for HGH as the drug of the future.

    Not a good message.
