“I meditate every day. I do it in the mornings, I do it for about 10-15 minutes. I think it’s important because it sets me up for the rest of the day. It helps me. It’s like having an anchor. If I don’t do it, I feel like I am constantly chasing the day as opposed to being able to be controlled and dictate the day - not that you are calling the shots on what comes forward, but the fact that I am set and ready for whatever may come my way. I have a calmness about whatever comes my way.”
-Kobe Bryant
