Speaker 1: Ice SE's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's
Speaker 1: Up SISE team. You're listening to the Daily Game, the
Speaker 1: compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that
Speaker 1: I found inspiring and helped me through the game of life. Today,
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk to you about keeping that hustle going.
Speaker 1: You will hit a wall. Everyone does. That's when you
Speaker 1: can't give up. If you're running a marathon, there's a
Speaker 1: point where you're just be I can't run anymore. That's
Speaker 1: when you kick in to overdrive. And most people that
Speaker 1: hit that wall will finish that marathon. But you have
Speaker 1: to push past that point that you think you can't
Speaker 1: go anymore. If you're in a gym, until you hit
Speaker 1: that point, you can't do anymore. You're not really exercising.
Speaker 1: You're in there playing around. You got to hit that
Speaker 1: wall and push past it. Now, here's something about walls.
Speaker 1: In this game of life. There are walls and are obstacles. Now,
Speaker 1: a wall is something that you can't change. If you're
Speaker 1: a man, you're going to be a man forever. If
Speaker 1: you black, you black woman, whatever, Okay, that's a wall.
Speaker 1: You cannot change that, Okay. An obstacle looks like a wall.
Speaker 1: If you black, maybe you can't be the CEO at
Speaker 1: this company because it's always been white. That looks like
Speaker 1: a wall, but it's not truly a wall. We thought
Speaker 1: there was a wall that can never be a black president.
Speaker 1: Obviously Barack Obama proved differently. A wall looks like a wall.
Speaker 1: If you're a woman, you think, oh, I can't achieve
Speaker 1: this because it's never been done by a woman. It
Speaker 1: looks like a wall, but it's not. It's just an obstacle.
Speaker 1: You have to figure out how to pass that obstacle.
Speaker 1: Now I figured out how to pass the obstacles. There
Speaker 1: may be somebody like yourself that has already passed that obstacle. So,
Speaker 1: in other words, say you're a young kid and you
Speaker 1: don't think you can make it past that. But you
Speaker 1: get to the obstacle and you look on the other
Speaker 1: side of the obstacle and there's another kid. You want
Speaker 1: to work at Google, there's another kid that had passed
Speaker 1: that obstacle. They have the game. So you say, oh,
Speaker 1: I want to be on network television like Iced Tea.
Speaker 1: But it's impossible. No, I've already passed the obstacle. So
Speaker 1: it's not a wall, it's an obstacle. How do you
Speaker 1: get there? Ask me and I'll tell you here's the problem.
Speaker 1: You may not want to do all the steps it
Speaker 1: takes past that obstacle. You want the shortcut. Is there
Speaker 1: a tunnel? Is there a secret passage? No? No, not.
Speaker 1: Simply have to do it the way I did it.
Speaker 1: I've had people tell me, well, how'd you get into acting? Well,
Speaker 1: I didn't even really study acting. I got taken out
Speaker 1: of music because I was successful in music. Oh so
Speaker 1: you got in a shortcut. Well, if you feel you
Speaker 1: want to take that shortcut, go sell ten million records.
Speaker 1: See it's no shortcut. What I did was I raised
Speaker 1: my visibility up and another genre to where this other
Speaker 1: genre strove and said maybe he can apply his fan
Speaker 1: base to this genre. But it still was a lot
Speaker 1: of work entail. It took many, many years. You know.
Speaker 1: So you will hit a wall. First, understand that sometimes
Speaker 1: it's just a wall where you just think a place
Speaker 1: you've never been. But understand most of them aren't really walls.
Speaker 1: They're obstacles, and obstacles can be passed. And if you
Speaker 1: want to learn, maybe find someone who has already passed
Speaker 1: that obstacle, and they'll give you the game if they choose.
Speaker 1: To some people, once they get over that obstacle, they're like, nah,
Speaker 1: it took me too hard to get over this. Motherfucker.
Speaker 1: Fuck you. I ain't telling you. Figure it out for yourself.
Speaker 1: Now you're backing hustles, Mo hustles, don't complain. Figure it out.
Speaker 1: That's how the game is played. This has been another
Speaker 1: ice cold fact from me, ice 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 it's okay
Speaker 1: to hit the wall. What you do next that'll take
Speaker 1: you from good to great. I Seize Daily Gainers a
