WEBVTT - Unexpected Gifts

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I see Daily Game as a production of iHeartRadio. What's

0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:08.160
<v Speaker 1>up besides tea? You're listening to The Daily Game, the

0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:12.280
<v Speaker 1>compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that

0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:18.720
<v Speaker 1>I've found inspiring and helped me through the game of life. Today,

0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:21.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna drop some knowledge from one of my long

0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:26.400
<v Speaker 1>time co stars, Marishka Hargott, and trust me, I love

0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Marishka dearly. Me and Marishka have been working on the

0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:32.760
<v Speaker 1>same show for twenty four years, and sometimes I talk

0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:35.800
<v Speaker 1>to and I say, think about it. This is longer

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:38.840
<v Speaker 1>than you are in elementary school, high school, and college

0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:42.040
<v Speaker 1>all put together. And imagine being in the same class

0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 1>with one person all those years. Me and Marishka worked

0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:49.239
<v Speaker 1>five days a week for twenty four years. So trust me,

0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:55.160
<v Speaker 1>we've become very very close friends. Marishka said, sometimes things

0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:59.040
<v Speaker 1>in life happen that allow us to understand our priorities

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 1>very clearly. Ultimately, you can see those as gifts. What

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 1>she's saying is sometimes even negative things happen, but they

0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:13.640
<v Speaker 1>help us to adjust our perspective. One of my friends passed,

0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:17.600
<v Speaker 1>and the minister says that death is a gift to

0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 1>the living because a lot of y'all sitting out there

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.959
<v Speaker 1>don't even realize you're alive. You're not even taking advantage

0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:28.280
<v Speaker 1>of life. And sometimes when someone passes, it wakes us up, say, hey,

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:32.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm alive. You know, I still have chances to do

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:36.039
<v Speaker 1>some great things with my family and friends, and we

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:39.840
<v Speaker 1>just came out of COVID. Being quarantine made me sit

0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:42.600
<v Speaker 1>in the house and realize what was really valuable. You

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:45.920
<v Speaker 1>can't drive your cars, you can't wear your clothes. What

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 1>really is valuable. It really is your family, It's really

0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:52.600
<v Speaker 1>where you live. A lot of people looked around their

0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 1>house and it's like I could do a little home

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 1>improvement here. You know, this is actually where I live.

0:01:57.200 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 1>You know. So even though being quarantine was a negative,

0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 1>it made me personally really appreciate life and understand how

0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.359
<v Speaker 1>fragile life is. I lost quite a few people to

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 1>COVID and realize that we have to live every day

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 1>to the fullest. So, as Mariska says, a lot of

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:22.440
<v Speaker 1>times things will happen that make us really check our priorities,

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:25.520
<v Speaker 1>what is really important in my life? And then you

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:27.200
<v Speaker 1>turn around and you say, well, even though that was

0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.799
<v Speaker 1>a negative incident, that was a gift. That was a

0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:35.560
<v Speaker 1>moment where I got a clear understanding about life. So yes,

0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:39.680
<v Speaker 1>sometimes a negative thing will help you understand your priorities

0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:43.640
<v Speaker 1>in life and ultimately, as Mariska says, you can see

0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:51.440
<v Speaker 1>those as gifts. This has been another Ice Cole fact

0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 1>from me Ice Tea. Listening again tomorrow when I dropped

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:58.760
<v Speaker 1>some wisdom on your ass till then, stay safe, stay smart,

0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:02.799
<v Speaker 1>and say no, and that circumstances can change your priorities

0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>for the better. I Sees Daily Game is a production
