5 Workouts for Shredded Shoulders: 1.

Michael Jordan: "To win, you got to lose. To be happy, you got to have disappointment." "I really don't have regrets. As soon as you look back in your history and you come up with something you feel like you want to change, something else has to change." On disappointment: "To win, you got to lose. To be successful, you got to have something that's not successful. To be happy, you got to have disappointment. All of those things have evolved to make me who I am and understand the benefits and privileges I have for being who I am." Jordan shares what his parents taught him: "Don't wear your reputation. Don't wear your accolades. Don't wear your personality on your sleeve. Let it happen. Let it be you. It is who you are, don't hide from it. But don't rub it in people's faces." On being voted the greatest athlete: "It's ironic that I'm the youngest of the three. It's all relevant based on who is watching now. If you ask 20 years from now, I'm pretty sure LeBron may beat me based on who's going to be making the voting. I say that to understand: it is what it is. I don't wear it. I don't showcase it. Someone else's opinion. As an athlete, all you want to do is be the best athlete you can be." Jordan reflects on his father: "I had him for 32 years. Obviously, he was murdered. Rarely do I get the chance to talk about him. But the thing I remember, I think about him practically every day. For a person like myself, who lives in the spotlight and is so critical from people all the time, what I do, what I say, where I go, the thing he always said: 'Take a pause before you make a decision. And say: what if.'" He explains the purpose: "Whatever decision you make is always going to have consequences, pros and cons. If you think about the consequences, you make the right decisions. Now, all the decisions I made, other people may view them as not the right decisions from their perspective." Jordan addresses his "failed" baseball career: "Everybody says it was a failed opportunity to play baseball. That's what they think. For me, it was the best thing that could have happened. It allowed me to go back to the game with stronger passion. At the same time, I was able to understand the love these minor league baseball players have, making $1,500 a month. Which is nothing. But for them, it was big." He continues: "To see that helped me put things in perspective to understand the platform I was on in '93. When I went back to it in '95 and '96, I appreciated it even greater. When we won those championships, those things mattered to me far greater than what I did in '91, '92, '93. People don't see that. People will never understand that." Jordan shares the deeper lesson: "All they think about is, well, he batted .202, he struck out a certain number of times. Yeah, okay. But the effort was there. The learning curve and the passion was there. That has transcended not just to me, but to other people who are afraid to do things because they're worried about the perception from other places. To me, that's more gratifying than anything. That's what my father and mother instilled in me: take a negative and turn it into a positive. Don't be afraid to fail." On his mother's constant reminder: "My mother calls me practically every day. The last words are always: 'Keep your nose clean.' That's her constant reminder: people are watching, people are learning, people are paying attention." On why he stepped back from the spotlight: "I want my life to be my life. My time in the spotlight is dwindling, and I want to be able to control what I do and what I don't want to do. I need no more admiration. I've had enough. And it's been great." Jordan shares what retirement means to him: "Sometimes I surprise myself saying, 'I got nothing to do today. I got nothing to do tomorrow. I got nothing to do on Wednesday.' That's ultimately retirement. That's where I want to be. Not worrying about what I have to do tomorrow while I'm living in the moment right now."

This was right on time. Soon as I awoke. Yea I bought it. I need the physical copy as well. Thank you @juviethegreat

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."

If you're persistent, you'll get it. If you're consistent, you'll keep it. And if you're grateful, you'll attract more of it.

Man I can’t wait to have kids….

"Start early. Read everything in sight. Look for the successful framework that’s been successful for people, and there’s nothing like Graham’s, in my view. You’ll have a lot of fun and you’ll probably make a lot of money." — Warren Buffett

“My father used to say that it’s never too late to do anything you wanted to do. And he said you never know what you can accomplish until you try.” - MJ🐐

“𝑰𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒓𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒅𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒑𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒅𝒐𝒏𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎 𝒂 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒇𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 “ - Michael Jordan Mike joined the Chicago Bulls and proceeded to rebuild the franchise's very DNA, installing an obsessive, uncompromising benchmark for excellence that became known as "The Jordan Standard." His leadership was communicated through a legendary work ethic that transformed routine practices into brutal, high-stakes competitions. He famously challenged and provoked teammates, not out of malice, but to forge them in the fire of his own relentless drive, operating on the belief that if they could withstand his intensity, they could conquer any opponent on the court. This demanding and often uncomfortable environment became the crucible that tempered role players into champions, forcing the entire organization to elevate its expectations and creating the mental toughness required for six championship titles. Today most teams DON’T even have full practices, only light practices or individual work. So how can we respect them like we respected Mike and the Bulls? The Bulls were forged behind the scenes in brutal practices because of MJ’s obsession to win 👊 Different 🐐 (via kobe.tape/tt)

One of my favorite body types…
