    "Those times when you get up early and you work hard, those times when you stay up late and you work hard, those times when you don’t feel like working, you’re too tired, you don’t want to push yourself, but you do it anyway. That is actually the dream. That’s the dream. It’s not the destination, it’s the journey. And if you guys can understand that, then what you’ll see happen is you won’t accomplish your dreams, your dreams won’t come true; something greater will.”
    I miss you Kobe 💜❤️💛

    With these news of his passing, I just wanted to come here to say, thank you Kobe. For everything.
    He was an inspiration ever since I started basketball in 3rd grade and a great personality and last time I saw this speech I was in tears. Now I'm back but these are not the tears I wanted and definitely nothing his family ever deserved, my heart and thoughts are with all of them.
    Rest in peace legend. Gone way too soon.

    "That is actually the dream. That's the dream." This sticks and hits harder than "It’s not the destination it’s the journey" which many people say, but do not drive or solidify the point. The process is the dream. I've re-watched this to listen to those words many times. (EDIT: the quote's context to Kobe's daughters, and the rest of us, starts at 4:50)

    • @NAJErEa91

He perfected his good and perfect gift in this lifetime! 🙏💕🎶💯

That is actually the dream. That’s the dream. It’s not the destination, it’s the journey.
