    Moments like ROCKY BALBOA-Yes, the Movie! Ch. 11-MIDDLE AGE BEAUTY by Machel Shull-Simon & Schuster

    Moments like ROCKY BALBOA-Yes, the Movie! Ch. 11-MIDDLE AGE BEAUTY by Machel Shull-Simon & Schuster. Host of INSPIRED MIND PODCAST, Machel Shull is also a wellbeing author. Her first two wellbeing books, LIVE LOVE SOUL and MIDDLE AGE BEAUTY were picked up by Simon and Schuster in the summer of 2025. In this summer of 2026, Machel (Ma-shel) is reading her first book, MIDDLE AGE BEAUTY free as a gift from her heart to yours. This episode, #445 is Chapter 11 from MIDDLE AGE BEAUTY, encouraging readers, listeners to create GLORY MOMENTS like the fictional prizefighter, Rocky Balboa, creating a more meaningful and joyful week by infusing three glorious moments onto your must-do-list. Dear Listener, It's been quite a journey reading to you from my first book MIDDLE AGE BEAUTY. I am only on chapter 11. We have 24 chapters more to go. In this newest podcast, I share my inspiration from a fictional movie created by SYLVESTER STALLONE, one of my heroes. I remember candidly watching his moving as a young girl, living back on a farm in rural Southern Missouri. I remember feeling so small in the dark theater as those famous trumpets roared. I felt my heart leap out of my chest and I sat forward to gain a little momentum myself as he neared the final step. Then, that famous legendary moment happened: Rocky through is arms up in the air as the sun was rising over the streets of Philadelphia. Some moments we never forget. They stay with us, leaving an indelible imprint on our soul, just like this movie did for me and millions of other people around the world. When the Rocky Movie Series finally came to a close, the revenue generated over one billion dollars around the world. Now why was that? Why did these movies about an underdog prizefighter sweep not only a nation but had a lasting an international impact as well? One word. It's the name of this podcast. The world had become INSPIRED by one man's quest to win and defeat the odds in his own world, including mentally, physically and spiritually. I always thought Stallone should've one the Oscar for his performance. Thank you for being here with me, dearest listener. I am grateful for you. I feel you in the dark. I feel your spirit rising. I pray for you. I want you to find everlasting happiness and joy each day, and most of all finding that inspiration that springs forth like a well from your own soul. Stay kind and have an inspired mind, Machel Shull
