Motivational Success Story Of Michael Jordan - How He Beat Rejection and Became The Best

Motivational Success Story Of Michael Jordan - How He Beat Rejection and Became The Best

When Michael Jordan was only 15, he was like every other kid in the gym who dreamed of becoming the greatest basketball player. But his dream was crushed when he was cut from the High school basketball team because he wasn't tall enough. The team needed someone taller, so his close friend got in and Michael's name was not on the list.
He was embarrassed and devastated from this decision. So he went home, closed the door and cried for hours.
But as it turns out, that rejection gave Michael Jordan the motivation and Will Power to become the best. That rejection launched his successful basketball career.
"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying."

The following summer, he grew 4 inches (10 cm) and trained harder than everyone else. Michael Jordan decided that nothing will stop him. He decided that failure and rejection won't discourage him and won't get in the way of his dream.
"Whenever I was working out and got tired and figured I ought to stop, I'd close my eyes and see that list in the locker room without my name on it." "That usually got me going again."
His hard work paid off. That year he made the team and instantly became their best player.

And as we know, Michael Jordan became one of the greatest basketball players of all time. He became a legend. His professional basketball career is really fascinating and one of a kind. It included 6 NBA championships, 14 All-Star Games, two Olympic gold medals. His NBA records are unreachable.

Here are my favorite Michael Jordan Quotes on Success:

"To learn to succeed, you must first learn to fail"
"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."

"Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion."

- Michael Jordan

Are you feeling down and empty with all hope lost, or maybe you are having a bad day. Are you feeling depressed and full of anxiety on a daily basis, or you’re feeling like a complete failure?Do you need that spark of inspiration that will make you stand off that couch and stop feeling sorry for yourself? Are you tired of being unhappy, unfulfilled, not confident? It’s time to change your mindset! Do you need just a little bit of motivation to change things? The road to success and the road to failure are almost exactly the same.

I was always bad at basketball I sucked for a while through freshman year after football ended I tried out for basketball I didn’t make the team not because of my height but because I was awful once I got that talk in the coaches office it hurt but I also wanted me to prove him wrong I work my ass off all winter all spring and now summer I made my ball handling and shots improve I couldn’t do nothing with the ball except dribble now I can do a lot more than just dribble my dream was to be in the NBA and also being NFL but you can only pick one and I’m picking basketball I will continue practicing until I’m in the NBA it’ll take a while but I will do it
