Thunderbird Theme of the Week...Featuring Kobe Bryant

Monday November 13, 2023 - 1:40 p.m. | Dylan DeVlieger

In this edition of our Thunderbird Theme of the Week we examine fear and how to overcome it. Fear is a funny thing, whether it's fear of flying or fear of failing everyone has something they struggle with to overcome.

Kobe Bryant is a well known former NBA basketball player. A five NBA champion, 18 time NBA All-Star, 15 time All-NBA Team member, the 2008 NBA MVP, and a two time NBA Finals MVP Bryant never let fear limit him in life.

Fear is something that can make or break you if you let it, not going after that job because you're afraid you won't get it, or not going for a tryout because you're scared you'll get cut. The limitations you put on yourself due to fear can shape you into someone you might not have ever wanted to be.

Overcoming fears can transform you into someone you never thought you could be. Pushing yourself past the limits of comfort into the unknown walks of life can take your expectations for yourself and burst them through the roof into a new life you might not have thought you could aspire to.
