Growing up in the 90s, I will forever be a fan of the Utah Jazz because of Stockton and Malone. Last night, I watched my boy Kobe Bryant (I'll have a whole episode about him soon) score big-time on the Jazz, and some criticized his relentless pursuit towards victory as too intense, but I recognized something else entirely.

The Black Mamba had a "me vs the world" mentality about embracing his Dark Side as termed by Tim Grover.

Look, everyone has a dark side to them, so don't be close-minded on this.

When shit goes sideways, it's the dark side of you that gets things done. If we're threatened, it's not Mr Nice Guy that solves issues.

But don't confuse "dark" with "evil;" it's about learning how to use the passion behind this Dark Warrior  to help you get what you want, a concept that Garrett J White from Wake Up Warrior described.

 There is a Dark Warrior inside of you that needs to be let out.  

This is the person that knows how to execute and play bigger than ever because the Dark Warrior doesn't tolerate weak behavior. Nice guys don't execute greatness and is preventing you from getting the life that you truly want.
