Can you relate yourself to Jonathan?

I heard Kobe Bryant, the NBA superstar from Los Angeles, say that Jonathan Livingston Seagull inspired him to become the person that he is now. JLSeagull was a book I enjoyed much as a teen-ager. I admit though that I had not reread the book for a long, long time. Still, with Kobe referring to the plight that Jonathan took, I do remember the lesson the story sends - there must be a will to overcome the obstacles, if one desire to achieve greatness. Are you like Jonathan and Kobe too?

I wish I was, but it´s not that simple. Most of us are like the other seagulls. I keep trying, though. I always say that if life is a road to perfection I won´t ever die. Take care

Being another Jonathan and Kobe is really hard but not impossible. As the book said the only limitations that we have are the ones we make. So I try to always remember that in anything that I do. Perfection is still way ahead but that is what keeps me going to achieve what I want in life.
