1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's 2 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: up to size Team? You're listening to The Daily Game 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,959 Speaker 1: the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: that I've found inspiring and helped me through the game 5 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: of life. Today's quote comes from Mark Twain, one of 6 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: the most prolific American authors in history. He's been called 7 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 1: the father of American literature, and the knowledge he's dropped 8 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 1: still lives today. Mark Twain said, courage is the resistance 9 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: of fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear. What 10 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,480 Speaker 1: he's really saying is that, yeah, there's things that will 11 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 1: scare you, but you have to resist it and then 12 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 1: you have to master it. Not being afraid of things 13 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: is foolish. Certain things should scare you, and fear also 14 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: is a way of saying, and maybe not. If you 15 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: stand on a cliff and look over the edge, there 16 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: should be fear, fear of going over that edge. So 17 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: the theory of I have no fear is ridiculous. Now, 18 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: if you are skilled enough to climb over that edge, 19 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: then that means you have mastered that fear and you 20 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 1: have resisted that fear. But it's not gone. So I 21 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 1: think that a lot of times we're afraid of things. 22 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 1: It's for a good reason. But there's some people that 23 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: have been able to master it, resist it, and pass 24 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: through it. And that's what's called courage. The ability to say, 25 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: you know what, I might be afraid of this thing, 26 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: but I'm going to stand up to it. And mastering 27 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: something isn't simple. That's why it's called mastering. But that's 28 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: what courage is. When you can take fear, resisted, master it, 29 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: and overcome it, but it never goes away. 30 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 2: That would be foolish. 31 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: I drive cars, you know, and I like to drive fast, 32 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: but there's a point where I'm like, I'm feeling like 33 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 1: I'm going a little too. 34 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 2: Fast, and yeah, you get a little scared. 35 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: But maybe that's that's your brain saying, Okay, you've passed 36 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: the level that you're comfortable with, the level that you've mastered. 37 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: You're now in an unknown zone and I slow down. 38 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: Now someone else could be afraid when I'm going sixty 39 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: miles an hour. Their level of fear is a lot 40 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: earlier than mine. But once you cross that level of 41 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: the area you've mastered, it'll kick back in for sure. 42 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: And it's a good thing. This has been another ice 43 00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: cold fat from me, ice tea. Listening again tomorrow when 44 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: I drop some wisdom on your ass Till then, stay safe, 45 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: stay smart, and stay knowing that fear is real, but 46 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 1: not letting fear dictate your life. 47 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 2: It's what separates the men from the boards.
