Inspirational words from the 5-time NBA champion and 20-year veteran with the Los Angeles Lakers, Kobe Bryant. One of the greatest players to ever play the game of basketball shares some lessons that we can all learn from and apply to different areas of life.

What is Mamba Mentality?

A constant and infinite quest.

It’s a choice that you have to make.

How are you inspiring others to find themselves?

That is the ultimate championship.

How do you use your passion to inspire somebody to create their passion?

How can they pass that on to the next person?

That is true success.

We all can be masters at our craft.

But we have to make sacrifices that come with that decision.

I want you to perform at your absolute best.

I want you to realize your truest potential.

When you’re going through situations, what option do you have but to go through it?

You have to dance beautifully in the box that you are comfortable dancing in.

Everybody’s box is different. It’s your job to try to perfect it and make it as beautiful a canvas as you can make it.

If you have done that, then you have lived a successful life. You have lived with Mamba Mentality.

The greatest fear that we face is ourselves. We all have dreams. It’s very scary sometimes to accept the dream that you have and say I want that.

You’re afraid that if you put your heart and soul into it and you fail, then how are you going to feel about yourself?

Being fearless means putting yourself out there and going for it. No matter what, going for it. Not for anybody else, but for yourself.

It’s a matter of what’s important to you. What’s important to you?

Be the best version of yourself.
