Geo Friend-Lee - Lesson Learned from Kobe Bryant- Take the time to Smell the Roses lyrics

We are often too busy competing or reaching for greatness, That we forget to appreciate the blessings that are right in our faces, We overlook our accomplishments along the way, Because we are too distracted by new goals, new chases, The many new obstacles that we are faced with, In this rat race, Called life, But if you pay attention and listen to any person who has reached greatness, you will notice, They all say the one thing they regret the most is, The fact that they didnt take enough time to stop and smell the roses, Even Kobe finally learned this, After over 20 years of relentless commitment, To being the best that ever did it, It wasnt until his last season, That the Black Mamba let down his guard and tucked in his fangs, Stopped chasing after 6 rings, And just enjoyed every little thing, Every accomplishment and the difference he made in the game, Around the world, Inspiring not only his peers but also many little boys and girls, To be great, So remember, appreciate every moment before it is too late, Every experience, Every win, every loss, Every lesson, Count your blessings, Because time flies, Dont be too busy reaching for the stars, That you forget to appreciate the sky, The joy is in the ride, In the journey, So don't let the greatest times pa** you by, Take the time, To smell the roses. Don't Waste Our Planet
