“In basketball - as in life - true joy comes from being fully present in each and every moment, not just when things are going your way.”
— Phil Jackson

Simplified Meaning:
When playing basketball or living life, real happiness comes from focusing on what is happening right now. It means paying attention to each moment, not just when everything is perfect or going smoothly. For example, imagine you're playing a basketball game. If you only enjoy the game when you score points, you'll miss out on the fun of passing the ball, working as a team, and even learning from mistakes. In the same way, in life, if you only feel happy when everything is easy, you'll miss out on the joy of small moments and the beauty in challenges. By being present and mindful, you appreciate the journey, not just the good parts. Living this way helps you find joy in everyday experiences and makes life more fulfilling.
