Kobe Bryant's 7 Habits

Have you ever had an idol? Have you ever had someone, who you might not even know, inspire you and make an everlasting impression on your life? How about someone who left you in awe from the moment you first saw them? That's how it was and still is for me, with my idol, Kobe Bryant. For as long as I can remember, I've been encapsulated by the Mamba. It's hard to explain how and why, but what started out as watching him play basketball has turned into a full blown obsession. As I had gotten older, I had begun to be inspired by his mentality, and I began to carry that same mentality with me. He became a huge inspiration to me. I had begun to wonder, what made him so special for me, why Kobe?
I've been a fan of the Mamba for as long as I can
For one, Habit 2, Begin With the End in Mind, goes with the whole mamba mentality, at least in a way. In order to work hard and strive for your goals, you first need to know your goals and have everything in mind. So habit 2 and "Mamba Mentality" go hand in hand. Sharpen the Saw, Habit 7, works with the mentality, because part of these "Mamba" thoughts is to work hard and do your best, and sharpen the saw says renew yourself and stay at your best mentally and physically. In order to do your best, you need to be your best. So once again, both go hand in hand and work together.
Still today, I carry the "Mamba Mentality" with me and use it all the time. Now, I know I won't be an NBA superstar, but I still have other passions, and things that I do, and I want to excel at them, and do the best I can. Currently that involves school and getting good grades. Later it could mean something different. Kobe taught me many lessons, and helped me learn. I was inspired when I watched him play. I will forever carry that mentality with me, and will strive to do the best and try to be the best at everything I do. All of this, because of Kobe. Thank you, Mamba, you have forever changed my life. Thank
