Motivational Story - Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles Lakers / NBA)

Greetings! This week I am recommending you watch the video link posted below in this piece that features Kobe Bryant which was shot back in 2018 when he was visiting Shanghai, China. He offers a fascinating perspective on how he steered himself in a direction to help him achieve his life-long ambition!

In this video, Kobe also speaks about his Five Pillars needed to succeed in sports or in life. They are… BE PASSIONATE… BE OBSESSIVE (about ‘Attention to Details’) … BE RELENTLESS … BE RESILIENT … BE FEARLESS.

As you watch, Kobe will probe you with the following thoughts:

* What do you value most? What’s important to you?

* Are you making consistently good choices?

* What would make you work harder and longer than everyone else?

* Do you constantly source motivation in order to achieve your goals?

* Are you confident in your ability, irrespective of other’s opinions?

* How do you respond to setbacks?

You’re at that stage of development now where you need to invest in your body, mindset and God-given talent as you’ll hear from Kobe in the video … and to go after it. You don’t want to wait until your 40 or 50 to look back and feel like you blew this great big opportunity that you‘re living through right now?

As Kobe says so profoundly: "You have to EDIT your LIFE! You have to sit down with yourself now as it’s still not too late to ask some honest questions? When you do this, things become clearer rather quickly. It’s all about what do you want to be? To be the Best? Or do you want to just do this or do that? If things in your life don't line up, get rid of the junk! It's not important!"

KOBE BRYANT STATEMENTS TO PASS ALONG TO YOU …

- “I realized that intimidation didn’t really exist if you’re in the right frame of mind”

- “If you want to be great at something, there’s a choice you have to make. What I mean by that is, there are inherent sacrifices that come along with that”

- “We all have self-doubt. You don’t deny it, but you also don’t capitulate to it. You embrace it”

- “We can always be kind of average and do what’s normal. I’m not in this to do what’s normal”

- “Haters are a good problem to have. Nobody hates the good ones. They hate the great ones”

- “It’s the one thing you can control. You are responsible for how people remember you—or don’t. So don’t take it lightly”

  For this piece, I encourage you to set aside five minutes in your day to watch this fantastic video we are sharing from Tom Brady , the 7-time Super Bowl winning NFL quarterback! He takes time to tell you his secrets about reaching your Dreams. Tom talks about how as an athlete, he was not blessed with the physical traits that scouts seek in a prospect. That he was told by some coaches and scouts back in his early days to look for a new career. That he just wasn’t good enough. He will tell you that he had to find other traits to help him achieve his Dreams … traits like discipline, work effort and perseverance to overcome skills that he might have been lacking. He speaks about working to be one percent better than the day before. To take care of your body - it is your #1 Asset. That the Magic you’re looking for is in the Will of Trying. That WILL always Finds a Way! This is a highly motivating video from one of the great winning athletes of all time! Jim Loria Tom Brady Video L...

A Decision That Cost a Lifetime

  This piece was one of the toughest articles I’ve ever written! It came about from a tragic situation that took place during a horrific flood that hit the Toowoomba city in Queensland,  Australia in 2011. This story involves a family of two brothers – Blake (10)  & J ordan (13) Rice and their Mother (Donna) . The mother was innocently driving to a store to buy school uniforms for her children when a massive amount of rain water broke through the central business district of their city and began to flood the area.  The family car became stuck in the floodwaters and the tide was quickly rising up at warp speed. The mother then made a desperate call to the local emergency services while standing and holding onto her kids from the top of their vehicle.  As the intense flow of water now went up and over the rooftop, it also swept the family off their feet and out into what would look like a makeshift river. Donna was quickly out of sight and nowhere to be foun...
