WEBVTT - Harnessing Your Worst Fears

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:04.600
<v Speaker 1>I see Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

0:00:04.680 --> 0:00:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Up Besides Team, You're listening to The Daily Game, the

0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:12.440
<v Speaker 1>compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that

0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:17.480
<v Speaker 1>I've found inspiring and helped me through the game of life.

0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Today's quote comes from one of my friends, Conan O'Brien,

0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:27.480
<v Speaker 1>a realgy. Listen. I've been on Conan's show many many times,

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:30.640
<v Speaker 1>and I always had a great time. He's truly a

0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 1>cool person, and you know, I always take advice and

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:38.480
<v Speaker 1>listen to people that I admire. He once said, there's

0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:45.800
<v Speaker 1>nothing more liberating than having your worst fear realize. Now.

0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:48.000
<v Speaker 1>What that means to me is that a lot of

0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>things that we're afraid of, when they finally happen and

0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:59.600
<v Speaker 1>you push through them, it's liberating. It's like, Wow, I

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:03.280
<v Speaker 1>actually made it through it. Now. Some of our worst

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:08.399
<v Speaker 1>fears you'll never live through. But some things that are

0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:12.120
<v Speaker 1>bad or we're afraid of, we have to go through

0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:17.680
<v Speaker 1>them to learn that you can conquer them. Now, when

0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:21.160
<v Speaker 1>I was in the military, we did these things called

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:24.319
<v Speaker 1>confidence courses, and these are things where they have you

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 1>walk across a rope bridge or climb up a pole

0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:30.399
<v Speaker 1>that's a hundred feet in the air, or some things

0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:34.919
<v Speaker 1>that you normally would be afraid to do, but once

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:38.080
<v Speaker 1>you did it, you say, I can do it, and

0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:42.959
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't be afraid necessarily to do it again. And

0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 1>that's what they do. In training, especially, They'll march you

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 1>a certain amount of miles that you would never naturally walk.

0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Then in combat, if you had to make that hike,

0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:58.200
<v Speaker 1>you had done it before. So they challenge your fears

0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:02.080
<v Speaker 1>so that once you get past them, they're no longer

0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:05.520
<v Speaker 1>fears because you've made it through it. So I understand

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 1>what he says. There's nothing more liberating than having your

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:14.560
<v Speaker 1>worst fear realized. A lot of you have been through

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:17.160
<v Speaker 1>some of the things you thought you couldn't live through,

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 1>and it could make you stronger. They have this own

0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:22.720
<v Speaker 1>other saying that I don't go by it. Anything that

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:25.840
<v Speaker 1>doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I'm like, yeah, but

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 1>it leaves a bruise. So a lot of things you

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 1>go through really do hurt you and scar you, but

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:39.519
<v Speaker 1>in some cases it does make you stronger. So don't

0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:42.360
<v Speaker 1>get caught up worrying about the worst case scenario things

0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 1>could happen, you know, just be prepared for what potentially

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:50.760
<v Speaker 1>could happen, and trust me, you will push past it

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:54.240
<v Speaker 1>and you most likely will pull through it. And when

0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:56.640
<v Speaker 1>you do, you will come out on the other side

0:02:56.760 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 1>stronger and more liberated. Just from mind yourself. You have

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:05.639
<v Speaker 1>to hustle past it and you will get through it.

0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you might need help from friends, you might need

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 1>other people, but one like I said, once you pop

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.760
<v Speaker 1>out on the other side, you'll feel so much better

0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 1>because you will have overcome that obstacle. This has been

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:24.680
<v Speaker 1>another ice co fact from me ice Tea. Listening again

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:28.000
