Are You The Same Animal And A Different Beast

I remember years ago seeing a series of Nike ads with Kobe Bryant for what I think was a campaign for a new shoe he had developed called "Kobe Organization"

The ads starred Kobe Bryant as a motivational speaker giving advice to some well-established entrepreneurs and public figures such equally Tony Robbin, Aziz Ansari, Richard Branson, just to name a few.

One of the ads from the campaign that stood out to me the most was with Kanye W. Kanye begins asking Kobe how i can succeed beyond greatness, (implying that he's already the best), to which Kobe replied:

"But are you a different creature and the same beast?"

Reading that you're probably thinking, "What the hell does that hateful?"

Funny enough, Kayne had the same thought.

When I first saw the ad and heard that question I laughed and causeless it was some nonsensical attempt at getting a few laughs for the advert but due to the unfortunate event of Kobe Bryant and his daughter's tragic expiry yesterday I stumbled upon this ad again and realized that there was a deeper meaning to the "different fauna same beast" question that I overlooked.

Professional person athletes take a unlike kind of work ethic than your average person and those that are considered the greatest of all time (Michael Hashemite kingdom of jordan, Wayne Gretzky, Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant) are considered great considering of many factors, least of which is their hard piece of work and dedication to their arts and crafts. Now the term "Beast Fashion" gets thrown around quite a bit in the fitness customs and is defined as beingness in a hyperenergetic and ferocious state of being in whatever activity you're engaged in, in other words, letting the beast within yous out of its cage.

Now when Kobe talks about being a "unlike brute" I feel it equates to existence adaptable to your environment, being able to get outside your comfort zone and attack a new challenge while having that same beast mode mentality. We often fail trying new things out of fearfulness of looking lame and inexperienced, merely it's that fear that holds u.s.a. back and prevents you from growing, a truthful beast never allows themselves to be defeated past their own fearfulness.

So ask yourself, Are you a different animal and the aforementioned beast? In other words are y'all able to conform to new challenges, rise above your fears and uncaging the beast within you?

RIP Kobe and Gianna Bryant
