WEBVTT - Hit a Wall

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Ice SE's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

0:00:04.440 --> 0:00:08.119
<v Speaker 1>Up SISE team. You're listening to the Daily Game, the

0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:12.240
<v Speaker 1>compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that

0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:18.760
<v Speaker 1>I found inspiring and helped me through the game of life. Today,

0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:21.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to talk to you about keeping that hustle going.

0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:26.280
<v Speaker 1>You will hit a wall. Everyone does. That's when you

0:00:26.360 --> 0:00:30.880
<v Speaker 1>can't give up. If you're running a marathon, there's a

0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:33.960
<v Speaker 1>point where you're just be I can't run anymore. That's

0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:37.400
<v Speaker 1>when you kick in to overdrive. And most people that

0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:42.199
<v Speaker 1>hit that wall will finish that marathon. But you have

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:45.800
<v Speaker 1>to push past that point that you think you can't

0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:48.639
<v Speaker 1>go anymore. If you're in a gym, until you hit

0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:52.000
<v Speaker 1>that point, you can't do anymore. You're not really exercising.

0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:54.480
<v Speaker 1>You're in there playing around. You got to hit that

0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>wall and push past it. Now, here's something about walls.

0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:04.000
<v Speaker 1>In this game of life. There are walls and are obstacles. Now,

0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 1>a wall is something that you can't change. If you're

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 1>a man, you're going to be a man forever. If

0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:13.319
<v Speaker 1>you black, you black woman, whatever, Okay, that's a wall.

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 1>You cannot change that, Okay. An obstacle looks like a wall.

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 1>If you black, maybe you can't be the CEO at

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:25.480
<v Speaker 1>this company because it's always been white. That looks like

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.680
<v Speaker 1>a wall, but it's not truly a wall. We thought

0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:31.040
<v Speaker 1>there was a wall that can never be a black president.

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:35.559
<v Speaker 1>Obviously Barack Obama proved differently. A wall looks like a wall.

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 1>If you're a woman, you think, oh, I can't achieve

0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:40.400
<v Speaker 1>this because it's never been done by a woman. It

0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:43.880
<v Speaker 1>looks like a wall, but it's not. It's just an obstacle.

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:46.880
<v Speaker 1>You have to figure out how to pass that obstacle.

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Now I figured out how to pass the obstacles. There

0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:56.600
<v Speaker 1>may be somebody like yourself that has already passed that obstacle. So,

0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 1>in other words, say you're a young kid and you

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:00.920
<v Speaker 1>don't think you can make it past that. But you

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 1>get to the obstacle and you look on the other

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.600
<v Speaker 1>side of the obstacle and there's another kid. You want

0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 1>to work at Google, there's another kid that had passed

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>that obstacle. They have the game. So you say, oh,

0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.679
<v Speaker 1>I want to be on network television like Iced Tea.

0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 1>But it's impossible. No, I've already passed the obstacle. So

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:20.360
<v Speaker 1>it's not a wall, it's an obstacle. How do you

0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:23.760
<v Speaker 1>get there? Ask me and I'll tell you here's the problem.

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 1>You may not want to do all the steps it

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:30.280
<v Speaker 1>takes past that obstacle. You want the shortcut. Is there

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:32.919
<v Speaker 1>a tunnel? Is there a secret passage? No? No, not.

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Simply have to do it the way I did it.

0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 1>I've had people tell me, well, how'd you get into acting? Well,

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even really study acting. I got taken out

0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 1>of music because I was successful in music. Oh so

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:48.440
<v Speaker 1>you got in a shortcut. Well, if you feel you

0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.440
<v Speaker 1>want to take that shortcut, go sell ten million records.

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.400
<v Speaker 1>See it's no shortcut. What I did was I raised

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:59.399
<v Speaker 1>my visibility up and another genre to where this other

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:02.760
<v Speaker 1>genre strove and said maybe he can apply his fan

0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 1>base to this genre. But it still was a lot

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.920
<v Speaker 1>of work entail. It took many, many years. You know.

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:14.560
<v Speaker 1>So you will hit a wall. First, understand that sometimes

0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:16.799
<v Speaker 1>it's just a wall where you just think a place

0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 1>you've never been. But understand most of them aren't really walls.

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:24.359
<v Speaker 1>They're obstacles, and obstacles can be passed. And if you

0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 1>want to learn, maybe find someone who has already passed

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:30.519
<v Speaker 1>that obstacle, and they'll give you the game if they choose.

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 1>To some people, once they get over that obstacle, they're like, nah,

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.120
<v Speaker 1>it took me too hard to get over this. Motherfucker.

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Fuck you. I ain't telling you. Figure it out for yourself.

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Now you're backing hustles, Mo hustles, don't complain. Figure it out.

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:48.680
<v Speaker 1>That's how the game is played. This has been another

0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:52.440
<v Speaker 1>ice cold fact from me, ice Tea. Listening again tomorrow

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.040

<v Speaker 1>stay safe, stay smart, and stay knowing that it's okay

0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 1>to hit the wall. What you do next that'll take
