Just Don't Underestimate My Brain: The Movement

            If you watch any TV at all, you have more than likely seen the Kobe  System.  I’m also fairly certain that you’re wondering just what exactly IS the Kobe System.

          The Kobe System consists of attacking fast, attacking strong and adapting to situations.  This may come as a surprise to those who are looking to find some ‘secret formula’ to achieving their goals and succeeding in life, but in actuality Kobe has hit the nail on the head.

            The first thing you must do is identify your goals.  Once you do that, it’s time to set up your game plan and go after what you want by following these 3 simple steps: attack fast, attack strong and adapt to situations that come at you.  And as the old adage says: Nothing worth having in life comes easy.  Granted, Kobe may make it look easy, but do you think he got where he is without practice or studying the sport?  Did Kobe just wake up one morning as one of the greatest basketball players of our time?  It’s highly unlikely that this is the case.  Kobe did drills.  Kobe watched and studied tapes.  He was also inspired by the likes of Michael Jordan, who most would say is the greatest players to ever live!  Kobe, much like Jordan, is constantly working and striving to be better.  He is constantly adapting to new game situations.

 Kobe aspiring to be in the same class as Jordan, brings me to my next point, inspiration.  Most of us are inspired by one or multiple people throughout our lives.  And if you want to be honest, most, if not all, very successful people are not “regular”.  This is not to say that these people are weirdos, although some of them may very well be weirdos.   If you take a close look at their work ethic and how they go about attaining their goals, these people, for lack of a better word, are ‘beasts.’ For them, success is a lifestyle.  

  Successful people, people on The Kobe System, are constantly working to improve.  They don’t allow themselves to become comfortable because being comfortable leads to complacency which leads to mediocrity.  And we all know that mediocrity DOES NOT lead to success.  They go after what they want and make strong moves with certainty and conviction!  This is not to say that they haven’t had failures along the way, but unlike many who wallow and dwell on those failures, they pick themselves back up, dust themselves off and keep it moving!  They also take notes along the way about what works, what doesn’t and what they can do to improve.

 The funny thing is, that when I was looking on YouTube for the link to the video, I saw a comment about the commercial being a form of brainwashing.  I guess all commercials, in some way, shape or form are made to brainwash us–  whether it’s to buy a product, workout, or eat certain foods.  So if that’s the case and the Kobe System will brainwash me to succeed, then sign me up!
