Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's
Speaker 1: up to sight 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 chapter of Daily Game. I'm gonna break
Speaker 1: down for you the costs of success. And I don't
Speaker 1: mean costing money out of your pocket. I mean what
Speaker 1: building success will take from you seven steps. We got
Speaker 1: here first when it's late nights. Success is built during
Speaker 1: nine to five hours. Some nights you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: stay up. Some nights you're gonna have to push, you know,
Speaker 1: burn the midnight oil. It requires just working over time.
Speaker 1: Early mornings, man, I roll out of bed sometimes five
Speaker 1: in the morning, in the dark, in the snow. But
Speaker 1: that's what has to be done. I can't just tell
Speaker 1: people on Law and Order. I don't feel like getting
Speaker 1: up till twelve. People think you can, but you can't.
Speaker 1: You have to be there on time. Very few friends.
Speaker 1: As you're older, your friend pool gets smaller and smaller.
Speaker 1: Something about being in high school and college makes you
Speaker 1: believe that you should have a lot of friends. That's
Speaker 1: just because you're forced to be around hundreds of people.
Speaker 1: When you finally get out of that, out of school
Speaker 1: and you can choose your friends, my dad said, if
Speaker 1: you can count your friends on your hand, you've got
Speaker 1: more than most. Being misunderstood. Being misunderstood number four. It
Speaker 1: comes from being a creative thinker and thinking outside the
Speaker 1: box and looking for ideas and ways to advance yourself.
Speaker 1: Artists are always misunderstood, usually until the painting is complete.
Speaker 1: You know, I can look at things that are unfinished
Speaker 1: and I can tell you what they're going to be.
Speaker 1: Most people can't, so you will be misunderstood. Feeling overwhelmed, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's just part of it. You're trying to go big,
Speaker 1: so a lot of times you're just doing so much.
Speaker 1: You just say, I don't know how I can do this,
Speaker 1: but somehow you do. Questioning your own sanity. Sometimes you're
Speaker 1: gonna think you are crazy because you're trying so hard
Speaker 1: and you're pushing so hard. You're gonna really say, wow,
Speaker 1: what I am doing is absolutely crazy, but I gotta
Speaker 1: do it. And seven, being your own cheerleader. You're gonna
Speaker 1: have to learn to be happy for yourself when you
Speaker 1: get that victory. You have to be like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it. I did it, and hip hip
Speaker 1: paray for me, motherfucker, because I pulled that off. So
Speaker 1: here's the cost of success. We missed late nights, early mornings,
Speaker 1: very few friends, being misunderstood, feeling overwhelmed, questioning your sanity,
Speaker 1: and being your own cheerleader. But guess what, it'll all
Speaker 1: be worth it. And any of you out there that
Speaker 1: are going through this journey probably are going through all
Speaker 1: these levels at the same time. This has been another
Speaker 1: ice cold fact from me iced tea. Listening again tomorrow
Speaker 1: when I drop some wisdom on your ass till then,
Speaker 1: stay safe, stay smart, and stay knowing that success isn't guaranteed,
Speaker 1: but the sacrifices you make on the roads to success
Speaker 1: are unfortunately something you can count on. ICE's Daily Game.
