Speaker 1: I see Daily Game as a production of iHeartRadio. What's
Speaker 1: up besides tea? You're listening to The Daily Game, the
Speaker 1: compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that
Speaker 1: I've found inspiring and helped me through the game of life. Today,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna drop some knowledge from one of my long
Speaker 1: time co stars, Marishka Hargott, and trust me, I love
Speaker 1: Marishka dearly. Me and Marishka have been working on the
Speaker 1: same show for twenty four years, and sometimes I talk
Speaker 1: to and I say, think about it. This is longer
Speaker 1: than you are in elementary school, high school, and college
Speaker 1: all put together. And imagine being in the same class
Speaker 1: with one person all those years. Me and Marishka worked
Speaker 1: five days a week for twenty four years. So trust me,
Speaker 1: we've become very very close friends. Marishka said, sometimes things
Speaker 1: in life happen that allow us to understand our priorities
Speaker 1: very clearly. Ultimately, you can see those as gifts. What
Speaker 1: she's saying is sometimes even negative things happen, but they
Speaker 1: help us to adjust our perspective. One of my friends passed,
Speaker 1: and the minister says that death is a gift to
Speaker 1: the living because a lot of y'all sitting out there
Speaker 1: don't even realize you're alive. You're not even taking advantage
Speaker 1: of life. And sometimes when someone passes, it wakes us up, say, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm alive. You know, I still have chances to do
Speaker 1: some great things with my family and friends, and we
Speaker 1: just came out of COVID. Being quarantine made me sit
Speaker 1: in the house and realize what was really valuable. You
Speaker 1: can't drive your cars, you can't wear your clothes. What
Speaker 1: really is valuable. It really is your family, It's really
Speaker 1: where you live. A lot of people looked around their
Speaker 1: house and it's like I could do a little home
Speaker 1: improvement here. You know, this is actually where I live.
Speaker 1: You know. So even though being quarantine was a negative,
Speaker 1: it made me personally really appreciate life and understand how
Speaker 1: fragile life is. I lost quite a few people to
Speaker 1: COVID and realize that we have to live every day
Speaker 1: to the fullest. So, as Mariska says, a lot of
Speaker 1: times things will happen that make us really check our priorities,
Speaker 1: what is really important in my life? And then you
Speaker 1: turn around and you say, well, even though that was
Speaker 1: a negative incident, that was a gift. That was a
Speaker 1: moment where I got a clear understanding about life. So yes,
Speaker 1: sometimes a negative thing will help you understand your priorities
Speaker 1: in life and ultimately, as Mariska says, you can see
Speaker 1: those as gifts. This has been another Ice Cole fact
Speaker 1: from me Ice Tea. Listening again tomorrow when I dropped
Speaker 1: some wisdom on your ass till then, stay safe, stay smart,
Speaker 1: and say no, and that circumstances can change your priorities
Speaker 1: for the better. I Sees Daily Game is a production
