A Motivational Inspired By Kobe Bryant
Just to list things that happened, some of us lost jobs
Some of us lost family or friends b/c of corona
And some of us who are in school have lost the ability to go to class. Who would’ve thought we would miss that
And then there are those that fit all three
Before corona we lost popular figures such as Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant and young upcoming rapper out of Brooklyn Pop Smoke
These Deaths or current circumstances in your life has made you appreciate the little things.
Whether it’s just watching tv with family or being able to see friends comfortably in a safe space without that lingering thought in the back of your head
In essence we are living in some dark times. But I believe that dark times mold people.
It can mold people to be more educated, more experienced because now you know what it’s like to struggle or go through a certain situation
Struggle because now you can’t do what you wanna do
You can’t build onto that foundation that you had b/c corona came and put everything to a stand still
But this dark time gives you the opportunity to prepare for when life gets back to normal....almost like a clean slate.
Whatever happened before March 16th doesn’t matter. WHY ?
Cus you can come out of this pandemic with a new mindset.
A new way to work on your craft
A new way to be a better person
A new way to be better at something that you were previously average at
A new mentality......
Now the late Kobe Bryant once said
“It's not the destination, it's the journey. And if you guys can understand that, then what you'll see happen is you won't accomplish your dreams, your dreams won't come true; something greater will.
Kobe also goes on to shoot a commercial with Kanye west in approximately 2012.
In the commercial Kanye asks Kobe “What more do you want from me?”
Kobe says “More”
Kanye says “How much more successful do you want me to be?”
Kobe says” More successful”
Kanye west says “How many more records can my records break!?”
Kobe says “More records “
Kanye finally says but I’m the best ???
Then Kobe so nicely says “But are you a different animal and the same beast ?”
Are you the same person person by name but different by nature ??
How long are you willing to beat the rock until the diamond comes out ?
Are you willing to mold yourself into a better version of yourself ?
This is how I interpret the mind and quote of the late great Hall of famer Kobe Bryant
If you haven’t already, use this “stoppage of normalcy” as an introduction to a new journey in your life
Kobe Bryant showed us many times throughout his life that you can do anything you put your mind to because it’s truly all about a change in mentality
Remember “it’s not the destination, it’s the journey.” Never forget
RIP #8 #24
RIP Kobe “Bean” Bryant
Happy Birthday to a different animal.
