| 0:00.0 | I missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. |
| 0:04.0 | I've lost almost 300 games. |
| 0:07.0 | 26 times I've been trusted to take the game running shot and missed. |
| 0:13.0 | I've failed over and over and over again in my life. |
| 0:17.0 | And that is why I succeed. |
| 0:20.0 | There is no success without failure. |
| 0:21.9 | They go hand in hand. |
| 0:23.2 | And with the failure comes amazing lessons, adjustments. |
| 0:27.9 | And you get sharper because of the shit that you've done wrong. |
| 0:31.3 | So I embrace the concept of failure just as much as I embrace the win of success. If you play with the fear of failing, you'll have the pressure on yourself, you know, to 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 middle, in the center, then it doesn't matter. You're unfazed by either, right? And that enables you to really just stay in the moment, stay connected to it, and not feel anything other than what's in front of you. |
| 0:59.0 | We're so controlled by, what's the result? What's the result? You lost. If winning is the only way that you edify your value and your worth, you're going to live a really miserable life because we all lose. we all fail. It's part of the learning process. You know, people always say either when or you learn, it's so true. So, fucking true. Failure is education if you use it. I mean, if you learn something, it's not a failure. If you don't learn anything, then it's failure. Why not adopt the philosophy that life is not happening to me, it's happening for me. And everything's happening for me, even what I thought was failure. And now my job is to figure out where's the benefit and use it. Failure is just lessons and feedback on what you can do to change. You don't lose until you stop. Say that again, failure. Failure is just lessons. It just shows you what mistakes you made and tells you what not to do the next time. |
| 1:44.7 | Okay. But when you stop, that's when you lose. |
| 1:47.8 | As a gymnast, I failed 50 times a day. I tried something. I messed up. I fell. I crashed. |
| 1:54.4 | And I kept doing it until failure to me was just a stepping stone to where I was going. |
| 1:59.2 | That's what humans are good at. We all fail. |
| 2:01.6 | We've all failed. |
| 2:02.6 | Did you ever fight somebody that you were like, that they got you? |
| 2:05.6 | Was there ever a kid that got you or no? |
| 2:07.6 | Absolutely. |
| 2:08.6 | In order to be good, you have to lose and understand loss. |
| 2:11.6 | Because loss is life. |
| 2:13.6 | Because life is going to give everybody a bad hand. |
