There’s something you should know about Kobe Bryant. If you want to take away one thing from Kobe Bryant’s life it’s this:

There’s a big difference between wanting and deciding.

Supposedly when he was 15 years old he made a promise to himself to be a talented overachiever.

Whatever talent he had he would take to the maximum level. He made a decision.

When Kobe realized his talent he DECIDED to focus and go after perfection by turning his talent into a super power.

He kept his promise to himself and decided to go after perfection.

He never looked back.

He didn’t waste time “wanting” championships and becoming the best.

He “decided”.
