Securing the Bag: The Courage to Chase Your Dreams

Writer's picture: Reggie WrightReggie Wright

In today’s world, the phrase “securing the bag” is often associated with financial success and monetary gain. But what if the real meaning of securing the bag goes beyond just accumulating wealth? What if it’s about having the courage to pursue your dreams, goals, and aspirations with relentless passion and determination?



The Power of Courage

Courage is the driving force that propels us toward our dreams. It’s what allows us to take risks, face challenges, and push through obstacles that might otherwise hold us back. For me, courage has always been the key to achieving success in life, not because I chased money, but because I was relentlessly chasing my dreams.


A Journey Fueled by Passion

From a young age, I was passionate about basketball. It wasn’t about the money or fame; it was about fulfilling a childhood dream. This passion guided my decisions, shaped my path, and kept me focused on what truly mattered to me. Even though I didn’t make it to the NBA, my journey took me to Europe, where I had the opportunity to play professionally—a dream that many would not have the perseverance to pursue.


This journey taught me that it’s not about the destination, but about the process. The lessons learned, the challenges faced, and the growth experienced along the way are what truly matter. As Kobe Bryant’s high school teacher, Mr. Fish, once said, “It’s not about the destination; it’s about the journey.”


Taking Action: The Key to Success

Talking about your dreams is one thing, but taking action is what makes them a reality. To secure the bag in its truest sense, you must be willing to act on your goals and aspirations. It’s not about chasing money; it’s about becoming a person of value. When you focus on adding value to others’ lives, whether by solving problems, offering guidance, or being a source of inspiration, the rewards will follow.


Obsession and Intentionality

Achieving your dreams requires an obsession with your goals and a deep sense of focus. Your goals must matter so much that you are willing to put in the time, energy, and effort to reach them, even if the journey is tough. It’s about being intentional in your actions, making sure every step you take brings you closer to your vision.


Transformational Leadership

One of the most rewarding aspects of chasing your dreams is the impact you can have on others. By becoming a transformational leader—someone who helps others overcome their challenges and achieve their goals—you create value that goes beyond yourself. This focus on helping others is what truly secures the bag, as it leads to personal fulfillment and, ultimately, the compensation that reflects the value you bring.


Conclusion: Chase Purpose, Not Money

In the end, securing the bag isn’t just about financial gain; it’s about living a life of purpose. It’s about having the courage to chase your dreams, taking action to achieve them, and becoming a person of value who positively impacts others. Don’t chase money—chase purpose. When you do, you’ll find that the rewards are greater than you ever imagined.
