He said, “To be totally connected with who you are, you got to be disconnected to understand what your purpose is. If you never disconnect, every day the only thing that would excite you is who like your posts, who like your pictures, who like what you ate last night. I’m going to leave you like this.”

Lewis continued, “Stop waiting for everybody else to make you happy. Stop waiting for everybody else to appreciate your kinghood or your queenhood and find out who you are. And you will never look for someone else to bring you joy. Today’s message is simple. It’s time to take care of you.”

This isn’t the first time Ray Lewis has inspired Michael Phelps with his words. Lewis was the reason why Phelps was able to add five more gold medals to his Olympic record. This was primarily because the NFL legend gave the harsh reality check to the swimming GOAT after he retired after the 2012 Olympics. Eventually, this helped Phelps to reflect on his career, come back in 2016 and win six Olympic medals.
