Kobe Bryantโs inspirational quotes
Kobe Bryant in 2008: โHave a good time. Life is too short to get bogged down and be discouraged. You have to keep moving. You have to keep going. Put one foot in front of the other, smile and just keep on rolling.โ
Kobe on Failure: โWhen we are saying this cannot be accomplished, this cannot be done, then we are short-changing ourselves. My brain, it cannot process failure. It will not process failure. Because if I have to sit there and face myself and tell myself, โYouโre a failure,โ I think that is a worse, that is almost worse than death.โ
Kobe on Sacrifices:ย โThereโs a choice that we have to make as people, as individuals. If you want to be great at something there is a choice you have to make. We can all be masters at our craft, but you have to make a choice. What I mean by that is, there are inherent sacrifices that come along with that โ family time, hanging out with your friends, being a great friend. being a great son, nephew, whatever the case may be. There are sacrifices that come along with that.โ
Kobe on Chasing Success: โWhen you make a choice and say, 'Come hell or high water, I am going to be this,โ then you should not be surprised when you are that. It should not be something that is intoxicating or out of character because you have seen this moment for so long that โฆ when that moment comes, of course it is here because it has been here the whole time, because it has been [in your mind] the whole time.โ
Kobe on Mastering your Craft:ย โOnce you know what it is in life that you want to do, then the world basically becomes your library. Everything you view, you can view from that perspective, which makes everything a learning asset for you.โ
Kobe on the challenge of coming back from injuries:
โThe process of it [drives me to come back]. I want to see if I can. I donโt know if I can. I want to find out. I want to see. Iโm going to do what I always do: Iโm going to break it down to its smallest form, smallest detail, and go after it. Day by day, one day at a time.โ
Kobe on Retirement:ย โThere is beauty in that. I mean, itโs going through the cycle. I mean, itโs the cycle that is the natural progression of growth, of maturation. I mean, thereโs no sadness in that โฆ I see the beauty in not being able to blow past defenders anymore, you know what I mean? I see the beauty in getting up in the morning and being in pain because I know all the hard work that it took to get to this point. So, Iโm not, Iโm not sad about it. Iโm very appreciative of what Iโve had.โ
Kobeโs advice to Gordon Hayward about returning rehabbing an injury:
โReality gives nothing back and nor should you. Time to move on and focus on doing everything in your power to prepare for surgery, ask all the questions to be sure you understand fully the procedure so that you may visualize it in your subconscious while being operated on and better the chance of itโs success. Then focus on the recovery process day by day by day. Itโs a long journey but if you focus on the mini-milestones along the way you will find beauty in the struggle of doing simple things that prior to this injury were taken for granted. This will also mean that when you return you will have a new perspective. You will be so appreciative of being able to stand, walk, run that you will train harder than you ever have. You see the belief within you grow with each mini milestone and you will come back a better player for it.โ
