Kobe Bryant: "Failure doesn't exist, it's a figment of your imagination"
An interviewer asks: "Are you someone who loves to win or hates to lose?"
Kobe responds:
"I'm neither. I play to figure things out. I play to learn something. Because if you play with a fear of failure or you play with the will to win that supersedes fear, I think it's a weakness either way. If you play with fear of failing, you'll capitulate to that fear. If you play with the sense of 'I want to win, I want to win,' then you have the fear of what happens if you don't. But if you find common ground in the center, you're unfazed by either. That enables you to stay in the moment and not feel anything other than what's in front of you."
The interviewer asks: "How did you become someone who doesn't seem afraid of failing?"
Kobe responds:
"What does failure mean? It doesn't exist. It's a figment of your imagination."
He explains with an analogy:
"Let's use happy endings. Everybody wants a happy ending, right? Snow White finds her prince and lives happily ever after. Well, I call BS on that because two months later, they had an argument and he's sleeping on the couch. The point is: the story continues. So if you fail on Monday, the only way it's a failure is if you decide to not progress from that. If I fail today, I'm going to learn something from that failure and try again on Tuesday. That's why failure doesn't exist."
The interviewer asks: "If you finished your career without a championship, would you have looked at that as a failure?"
Kobe:
"No. I would look at it as being extremely disappointed, because I had a dream and goals I wanted to accomplish. If I didn't accomplish those goals, I'd have to ask myself why. Poor leadership? Failure to communicate with my teammates? Lack of preparation? Those would be reasons why I didn't win. So I'd have to analyze that. And as I evolved post-basketball into business, those same weaknesses would reveal themselves there too. If I don't learn from that, I'm going to struggle again."
He concludes:
"I can take those situations and learn from them and have them make me a better person later in life. But if I don't take that stuff and apply it someplace else, that's failing. The worst possible thing you can ever do is to stop. It's to not learn."

@DisrespectedThe Relax guys. Rake or Wendigo—it’s not human. 🤦🏾

@DisrespectedThe It’s a Rake. That’s what they’re called. Native Americans knew about them.

At JFK Airport, as travelers waited in hours-long lines, an infant became unresponsive and stopped breathing. The panic of the child’s family and nearby passengers were heard by an ICE agent stationed at a checkpoint.
This heroic officer immediately sprang into action—rushing toward the cries, taking the child, and performing a Heimlich maneuver that restored the infant’s breathing after nearly two minutes.
This officer’s extraordinary bravery embodies the selfless service of DHS law enforcement.

@RepRalphNorman It’s their right to march and express their religion. This doesn’t mean that they want to enforce sharia law.

RFK Jr: “Sugar is as addictive as crack and very bad for you.”
“It grows tumors.”
“It destroys your mitochondria and your metabolic process.”
“These chemicals are weapons of mass destruction against the human metabolic process.”
“And they’re destroying our kids’ metabolism.”
“And all of these kids are metabolically injured.”

@isaiahrobinlive They all don’t say the same thing, and the Bible is not “different” either regard to any existential salvation.
Theravādan Buddhist here 👋, and I would challenge anyone; putting it all on the table to demonstrate what makes sense for true liberation.

@InterstellarUAP Nature is nature. But it’s how we fabricate it that’s different.

🚨 Simulation Theory: The Double Slit Experiment proves particles act like waves until observed then they snap into particles.
What if our reality only "renders" when we're looking, just like a video game optimizing resources?
Check out this episode from The Why Files breaking it down, tying it to Simulation Theory. Are we in a sim?
This could be the key to unlocking the true nature of existence!
The Why Files video did a great job on explaining the Double Slit Experiment & Simulation Theory

@jodyjodie @JOKAQARMY1 I’m heavy into this study. There wasn’t 12M Africans to the United States. Only 330,000 Africans came to the US. Others were transported from Caribbean to the US.
There was no mass wave of slaves going down to the West Indians.
English

@NibbanaScience @JOKAQARMY1 How tf would you know there wasnt a huge wave when you are basically being told 12 million Africans came to America on 1 boat? “TransAtlantic” is really from America to the West Indies. There are manifests showing that.
English

@jodyjodie @JOKAQARMY1 There were already plenty of Indians in the West Indies such as the Arawak, Taino, Ximaca, Kalinago, etc. This doesn’t entail that American Natives weren’t sent there. It’s just that it wasn’t a “large” wave of them.
English

@NibbanaScience @JOKAQARMY1 The actual amount of AMERICAN INDIANS that were sent to the WEST INDIES as POW turned slaves was larger. It was not from Africa. She just showed you that it was basically a “hand full” of African people brought to the Americas.

@MitchKumsteighn @WhitlockJason Stack explained that. 😉

@NibbanaScience @WhitlockJason What did you think about the ending where Michael b Jordan jumped up and stabbed the vampire in the back after he snuck past the whole gang of vampires on the shore and then got in the lake and snuck up behind the other one.. grade A?

() The rarity isn’t because of DEI. The rarity is because it’s a “horror” film. They don’t usually get Oscars…like…ever.
() I’m not racist, and neither do I support DEI.
() I assume you’re White which means you wouldn’t possibly understand the sphere of Sinners. Jason is Black, but he dropped the ball on this one.
English

@NibbanaScience @WhitlockJason That's Jason's entire point, you fucking racist, idiot. This fucking bigot ONLY got the Oscar because he's black.
