I was about to step on the court and play against the best point guard in the conference. He was bigger, stronger, faster and more talented than me, but I wanted to give everyone watching on the sidelines a surprise that day. I wanted them to see a short Pakistani-American kid ball out on the League MVP. I wanted to prove that heart goes farther than talent, and that’s exactly what I did. That’s the positive EGO at work.

I recently turned 40 and there’s something magical that happens at that age. It’s happened to me and so many of my friends who have also reached 40; we just stop giving a f@*k. What I specifically mean by that is that we just stop caring about what other people think of us or their expectations of us. We make the decision to live 100% authentically.
