"「地獄の苦しみが来ようと洪水が押し寄せようと、私はこれになる」と選択して言ったとき、その通りになったとしても驚くべきではありません。長い間この瞬間を見てきたので、それが酔わせるようなものや性格から外れたものであってはならないのです。"
— Kobe Bryant
Simplified Meaning:
When you commit to a goal with strong determination, even when faced with big challenges, you shouldn’t be shocked when you finally achieve it. For example, if someone decides they want to become a doctor and they work very hard for years, studying and practicing despite many obstacles, it won’t be a surprise when they finally get their medical degree. This is because they’ve been working towards it for so long that reaching it feels natural. It’s not a sudden or unexpected change; rather, it’s the result of persistent effort and focus. By visualizing and working towards your goal daily, it gradually becomes a part of who you are. This approach can be applied to any area of life, whether it’s a career goal, a personal milestone, or a lifestyle change.
