Michael Jordan Quotes to Inspire You
Ever since my teenage years I'm a huge fan of Michael Jordan, the greatest NBA player that ever played the game. More than his acrobatic shots and infamous walk in the air, Jordan is known for his winning attitude and ability to define what is humanly possible.
His competitive spirit has been an inspiration to many people around the globe. This article focuses on Michael Jordan quotes together with my insights on every quotation for you to ponder on and apply to your daily living.
I find that reading quotes help to some extent mold our perspective in both personal and professional setting. Here are some quotes from his Airness:
"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying." There are some instances in my life where I'm afraid to take risks and go beyond my limits for I don't want to be seen as failure or loser. I just want to be in my so-called comfort zone and wait for better things in life to come. Unfortunately, life is no fairy tale. We need to try to become who we want to be. It all begins in trying followed by striving and if you really want it you'll get it eventually.
"I’ve always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come. I don’t do things half-heartedly. Because I know if I do, then I can expect half-hearted results." Everyone wants to succeed but not all is ready to work hard to achieve it. Daydreaming is a dangerous hobby if there's no action on your part. As the infamous Nike slogan says "just do it". There are no shortcuts and those "overnight" successes you see or read from the media are actually product of long hard work. Commit to your tasks and do it religiously. Don't let negative words to affect you.
In several interviews with his Chicago Bulls teammates, they are one in saying that Jordan is the hardest working player on and off the court. He studied game tapes relentlessly, practiced 1 hour before the whole and perfected his trademark moves such as fade away.
"You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them." If you want to achieve you need to believe in yourself first. Your mind is your greatest ally and it can be your worst enemy. It can seed doubts about your skills and abilities hindering you from achieving your true potential. Yet, it can let you see your good points. There are several trainings and books that will help build your self-confidence and I suggest you take time to attend or read some of them. A friend of mine is one great guy who's very good with so many things like playing guitar and charcoal painting. He can be famous for his skills yet his low self-esteem hinders him from getting high-paying gigs and better opportunities. He has no one to blame but himself.
One tactic suggested by some self-help gurus is visualizing. You imagine what you want to be in the long run and try to make it as detailed as possible. Then outline the things you need to do to achieve them. Michael Jordan is not the tallest, faster or stronger player during his era yet he believes in his abilities and creativity that makes him stand out from the rest.
