When it comes to Mental & Physical Wellness, there is a general belief/expectation that progress is linear ... however, life is loooong & each chapter provides its own unique set of challenges.⁣ ⁣ To me ... not losing the desire & the willingness to ameliorate the current situation is much more important than finding a band-aid/temporary solution for the circumstance.⁣ ⁣ Back in 2014 @GChopra, Director of @KobeBryant’s ‘Muse’ documentary, shared a fable of KBB’s optimism. He revealed the reaction Bryant had to the then @BrooklynNets star Deron Williams having a 0-9 shooting night.⁣ ⁣ “Deron Williams went like 0-for-9. I was like, ‘Can you believe Deron Williams went 0-9?’ Kobe was like, ‘I would go 0-30 before I would go 0-9. 0-9 means you beat yourself, you psyched yourself out of the game, because Deron Williams can get more shots in the game. The only reason is because you’ve just now lost confidence in yourself.’”⁣ ⁣ Never lose faith in your own ability to improve upon your own life. The story only ends when the author of it decides to put the pen down. 🙏💛⁣ ⁣ #WeGotUs⁣ #MambaForever⁣
