Yes, I know it’s a cartoon and I know it’s childish, but I’m still pumped up from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. So, fresh from the 1980s, here’s the ultimate role model Optimus Prime doing battle with the sinister Decepticon leader Megatron:

Kobe Bryant is a stud. Just the other day, Kobe lead the Los Angeles Lakers to the franchise’s 15th NBA championship and earned his first NBA Finals MVP award. Winning a title is a great accomplishment and very uplifting. Here’s Kobe accepting his trophy:

Now, if you’re not a sports fan. No worries. Inspiration can come from all sorts of places. Josh Blue has Cerebral Palsy and he’s still an amazing comedian. And don’t forget the Italian Stallion Rocky Balboa. He might not be real, but the movies get me pumped up!

Oh man. I’m all pumped now. Like Eddie Murphy said, after Italians see Rocky they come out of the movie theater charged. Same thing happens to me. But I’m not too embarrassed about it. People idolize Superman, Batman and Spiderman, same thing.

We’ve all seen the movie Lean on Me, starring Morgan Freeman, about former principal of Eastside High School in Paterson, New Jersey, Joe Clark. I love the movie! It’s like the Godfather. Anytime it’s on I have to watch it. Now, here’s an interview with the real Crazy Joe:

Inspiration is a kick in the pants and Mr. Clark will gladly whip your butt into shape. So, whether it’s losing weight, getting to the gym, improving your diet or asking that coworker out. Pick yourself up and do it. If you can’t, think about Joe Clark and what he fought through. Feed on that!
