Kobe Bryant – “The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great at whatever they want to do.”

byAndrew McGivern - Motivational Quotes and Daily Inspiration | Quote of the Day

Welcome to the Daily Quote – I’m Andrew McGivern.Today’s quote comes from Kobe Bryant, five-time NBA champion and one of the greatest basketball players in history.

He said:

“The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great at whatever they want to do.”

Notice what Kobe doesn’t say. He doesn’t say the most important thing is winning championships. Or breaking records. Or being the best. He says the most important thing is to inspire other people’s greatness.

Think about that coming from someone who won five championships. Someone obsessed with excellence. Someone whose work ethic was legendary. He could have said the most important thing is personal achievement. Personal greatness. Being number one.

But he didn’t. He said inspiring others is what matters most. And look at the second part: “at whatever they want to do.” Not basketball. Not his thing. Whatever THEY want to do. Kobe’s not trying to create copies of himself. He’s trying to spark greatness in others on their own paths. Their own pursuits. Their own definitions of excellence. This is what separates legacy from achievement. Achievement is what you do. Legacy is what you inspire others to do.

You can be the best at something and die with that achievement. It ends with you. Or you can inspire others to pursue their own greatness. And that ripples out forever. It multiplies. It compounds. Kobe scored 33,643 points in his career. Impressive. Historic. But those points are done. They’re in the past. The people he inspired? They’re still out there. Still pursuing excellence. Still pushing themselves. Creating their own achievements in basketball, business, art, science – whatever they want to do. That’s the real legacy. Not what you achieved. Who you inspired.

So here’s the question: Who are you inspiring? And more importantly – are you living in a way that makes other people want to be great at whatever they do?Because according to Kobe, that’s the most important thing. Not your achievements. Your inspiration.

That’s it for today. I’m Andrew McGivern – I’ll see you in the next one with another Daily Quote.
