Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's
Speaker 1: up to sise Tee? You're listening to The Daily Game
Speaker 1: the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years
Speaker 1: that I found inspiring and helped me through the game
Speaker 1: of life. Today's quote is something I keep in mind
Speaker 1: and stay motivated. Some people aren't loyal to you. They're
Speaker 1: loyal to their needs of you. Once their needs change,
Speaker 1: their loyalty also goes away. Now this is a real thing.
Speaker 1: I always say, you only have power over people if
Speaker 1: they're physically afraid of you, or you have something they need.
Speaker 1: I'll give you a good example. I had a recording
Speaker 1: studio in my house. I used to let everybody record
Speaker 1: there for free. So I had the ability to walk
Speaker 1: in that recording studio and tell everybody shut the fuck up,
Speaker 1: and they would all shut up. Why not because they
Speaker 1: were afraid of me, but because they were using my
Speaker 1: recording studio for free. I had something they needed. Now
Speaker 1: once they finished their project, once they were done, they
Speaker 1: could politely leave out of my studio and say ice
Speaker 1: fuck you. You see, because now they don't need me.
Speaker 1: Some of the things we need from people, it could
Speaker 1: be a relationship. It could be love. You need someone's
Speaker 1: love so they have a power over you. Once those
Speaker 1: needs are no longer there, there's no more power. So
Speaker 1: let's talk about loyalty. Yeah, you got friends that are
Speaker 1: down with you. They seem to be loyal. How do
Speaker 1: you know they're not just loyal because you're providing something
Speaker 1: for them. You're providing maybe money, maybe you're helping them out.
Speaker 1: Maybe their connection to you gives them connections to other people.
Speaker 1: That's what they're loyal to. They're not really loyal to you.
Speaker 1: They're loyal to what you're providing for them. And once
Speaker 1: you remove that or they don't need it anymore, let's
Speaker 1: see where their loyalty lies. This is a very difficult
Speaker 1: one because this can run into family, This can run
Speaker 1: into friends, this could run into your relationship. You know,
Speaker 1: is your man or your woman with you because you
Speaker 1: are providing something for them. If you were unable to
Speaker 1: provide what you do for them, would they still be there?
Speaker 1: You know, for richer or poorer, would they still be there?
Speaker 1: It's a big question. That's a tough one, But you
Speaker 1: have to pay attention to the people around you and
Speaker 1: see where they're loyalty. I always say blood makes me related.
Speaker 1: Loyalty makes us family. So the people that are really
Speaker 1: down for you and have your back. You know, a
Speaker 1: loyal person has your back when you're not in the room.
Speaker 1: That's what loyalty is. Someone that will hold you down
Speaker 1: when you're not in the room, somebody else try to
Speaker 1: say something out the way. It's very rare. This has
Speaker 1: been another ice cold fact from me Iced Tea. Listening
Speaker 1: again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your ass
Speaker 1: till then, stay safe, stay smart, and stay with your
Speaker 1: eyes wide open for the real ones versus the opportunistic ones.
