1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: Ice SE's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: Up SISE team. You're listening to the Daily Game, the

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 1: I found inspiring and helped me through the game of life. Today,

5
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk to you about keeping that hustle going.

6
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: You will hit a wall. Everyone does. That's when you

7
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: can't give up. If you're running a marathon, there's a

8
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: point where you're just be I can't run anymore. That's

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: when you kick in to overdrive. And most people that

10
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: hit that wall will finish that marathon. But you have

11
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: to push past that point that you think you can't

12
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,639
Speaker 1: go anymore. If you're in a gym, until you hit

13
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: that point, you can't do anymore. You're not really exercising.

14
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: You're in there playing around. You got to hit that

15
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: wall and push past it. Now, here's something about walls.

16
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: In this game of life. There are walls and are obstacles. Now,

17
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: a wall is something that you can't change. If you're

18
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: a man, you're going to be a man forever. If

19
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: you black, you black woman, whatever, Okay, that's a wall.

20
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: You cannot change that, Okay. An obstacle looks like a wall.

21
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: If you black, maybe you can't be the CEO at

22
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: this company because it's always been white. That looks like

23
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: a wall, but it's not truly a wall. We thought

24
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: there was a wall that can never be a black president.

25
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,559
Speaker 1: Obviously Barack Obama proved differently. A wall looks like a wall.

26
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: If you're a woman, you think, oh, I can't achieve

27
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: this because it's never been done by a woman. It

28
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: looks like a wall, but it's not. It's just an obstacle.

29
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: You have to figure out how to pass that obstacle.

30
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: Now I figured out how to pass the obstacles. There

31
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: may be somebody like yourself that has already passed that obstacle. So,

32
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: in other words, say you're a young kid and you

33
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: don't think you can make it past that. But you

34
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: get to the obstacle and you look on the other

35
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: side of the obstacle and there's another kid. You want

36
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: to work at Google, there's another kid that had passed

37
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: that obstacle. They have the game. So you say, oh,

38
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,679
Speaker 1: I want to be on network television like Iced Tea.

39
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: But it's impossible. No, I've already passed the obstacle. So

40
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: it's not a wall, it's an obstacle. How do you

41
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: get there? Ask me and I'll tell you here's the problem.

42
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: You may not want to do all the steps it

43
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: takes past that obstacle. You want the shortcut. Is there

44
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: a tunnel? Is there a secret passage? No? No, not.

45
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: Simply have to do it the way I did it.

46
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: I've had people tell me, well, how'd you get into acting? Well,

47
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: I didn't even really study acting. I got taken out

48
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: of music because I was successful in music. Oh so

49
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: you got in a shortcut. Well, if you feel you

50
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: want to take that shortcut, go sell ten million records.

51
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: See it's no shortcut. What I did was I raised

52
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,399
Speaker 1: my visibility up and another genre to where this other

53
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: genre strove and said maybe he can apply his fan

54
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: base to this genre. But it still was a lot

55
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: of work entail. It took many, many years. You know.

56
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: So you will hit a wall. First, understand that sometimes

57
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: it's just a wall where you just think a place

58
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: you've never been. But understand most of them aren't really walls.

59
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: They're obstacles, and obstacles can be passed. And if you

60
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: want to learn, maybe find someone who has already passed

61
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 1: that obstacle, and they'll give you the game if they choose.

62
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: To some people, once they get over that obstacle, they're like, nah,

63
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: it took me too hard to get over this. Motherfucker.

64
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: Fuck you. I ain't telling you. Figure it out for yourself.

65
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: Now you're backing hustles, Mo hustles, don't complain. Figure it out.

66
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: That's how the game is played. This has been another

67
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: ice cold fact from me, ice Tea. Listening again tomorrow

68
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,040
