A speaker uses Rocky's corner team as a metaphor for the people who show up when you're struggling. Real support means checking in, bringing help without being asked, and sticking around when things get hard. Cut loose the people who disappear when you need them.

So I was watching the Rocky movie and it occurred to me, you know who's in your corner, who's on your team, on how they act. When the fight's on and things get hard and you're taking your licks, you're taking your shots, you've been pounded, Rocky's down on the mat, he's, he's hurt. The people that are on your team are the people in the crowd screaming, get up! The people that are in your corner that have got the towel and who have got the kit ready to deal with the bleeding and the swelling and the Bruising, and they, they just want to be there. They want to be a part of what you're doing. They want to help. And there's you. That's it. Those people, those people that are there for you, really make sure that you cling to them and make sure that you know that those are the folks that get your time and your energy because they are there for you when you need it. It makes a huge difference. The amount of people that just show up, even in the smallest ways, somebody checking in, seeing how you're doing, somebody just offering out of the blue, hey, I can help you with this. Hey, how are you doing? Just wanna make sure you're okay. People that show up out of nowhere with opportunity of, hey, I think you'd be a good fit for this. There's so much in your life if you pause and just look at who's in my corner, who's on my team, who is a part of the fight with me when things get hard. And it's amazing to see how quickly you can trim everything that isn't that. Who's in your corner?
