Week 25 - Day 3: You know why I'm a fan of Russell Westbrook? Because I can relate to the guy in SO many ways!! Both me and the Brodie are full of emotion, determination, competitiveness and passion that's more, often than not, mistaken for uncontrollable rage, anger and selfishness. We both are, no matter what we do or how hard we work, are often criticized or written off as not good enough! Russell is a Triple-Double machine whose on-court effort is unparalleled in the NBA, yet people still blame him when things go wrong. Myself, I work my butt off and make sure no one outworks me, because I take tremendous pride in my work ethic. I do everything that's asked of me and then some, yet my efforts often go unnoticed. I've done seemingly everything I'm supposed to do on the checklist everyone gave me, yet the answer is always "we decided to go in a different direction" or "I like someone else". It's led me to define my life by these three words. NEVER.GOOD.ENOUGH. Because for me, facing rejection is a daily occurrence. Being misunderstood or rejected or criticized is something both of us deal with. Russell, despite all that, goes out every night and puts forth his best effort. He inspires me to the same, even when I want to quit. #russellwestbrook #brodie #tripledoublemachine @russwest44 https://www.instagram.com/p/B1K_rqYnrdW155AmJRfHldHyGgUeDQoJOJy0Kw0/?igshid=1gssj30o0yrx1
