WHAT YOU ARE CAPABLE
NO ONE KNOWS WHAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF EXCEPT YOURSELF!

When Sylvester Stallone was a struggling actor he got so broke that he stole his wife's jewelry and sold it. Things got so bad that he even ended up homeless. Unable to pay rent or afford food, he slept at the New York bus station for three days...

His lowest point came when he tried to sell his dog at the liquor store to any stranger. He didn't have money to feed the dog anymore. He sold it for $25 only and walked away crying.

Two weeks later, he saw a boxing match between Mohammed Ali and Chuck Wepner, which inspired him to write the movie ROCKY. After completing the story, he tried hard to sell the script, and finally, he got an offer for $125,000. But he had one request that he wanted to be the lead Actor (Rocky) himself. The studio said no. They wanted a real star. He left with his script.

A few weeks later, the studio offered him $250,000 for the script. He refused. They even offered $350,000. He still refused. They wanted his movie. He had to be in that movie.After a while, the studio agreed, gave him $350,000 for the script and let him star in it! The rest is history! The movie won Best Picture, Best Directing, and Best Film Editing at the prestigious Oscar Awards and was even inducted into the American National Film Registry as one of the greatest movies ever!

Do you know the first thing he bought with the $350,000? The dog he sold. Yes, Stallone loved his dog so much that he stood at the liquor store for 3 days waiting for the man he sold his dog. And on the 3rd day, he saw the man coming with the dog. Stallone explained why he sold the dog and begged for the dog back. The man refused. Stallone offered him $100. The man refused. He offered him $500. And the guy refused. Stallone had to pay $15,000 for the same dog he sold at $25 only! And he finally got his dog back!Today, the same Stallone who slept in the streets and sold his dog just because he couldn't even feed it anymore is one of the greatest movie stars.

Have you ever had a dream? A wonderful dream? But you are too broke to implement it? Too tiny to do it? Too small to accomplish it? Life is tough. Opportunities will pass you by, just because you are a nobody. People will want your products, but not you. Doors will be shut on you. People will steal your glory and crash your hopes. You will push and push. And yet nothing will happen.

But never let them crush your dreams. Whatever happens to you, Keep Dreaming.
No one knows what you are capable of except yourself!
Fight for your place in history.
Fight for your glory. Never ever give up! Keep Up the Fight.
Keep your dreams and hope alive.Go get it.
Have a Aspirational weekend
