WEBVTT - Check Yourself

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:04.520
<v Speaker 1>I see Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

0:00:04.559 --> 0:00:08.239
<v Speaker 1>Up besides Tee? You're listening to The Daily Game, the

0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:12.360
<v Speaker 1>compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that

0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:16.479
<v Speaker 1>I found inspiring and helped me through the game of life.

0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Today's quote is something I keep in mind to stay

0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:28.400
<v Speaker 1>focused and motivated no matter the situation. Never let your

0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:35.880
<v Speaker 1>emotions overpower your intelligence. This is a tough one because

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:40.640
<v Speaker 1>your emotions will always kick in before your intelligence. Somebody

0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:42.680
<v Speaker 1>says something to you out the way, you're ready to

0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:45.559
<v Speaker 1>smack the shit out of them. That's your emotions. Your

0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:48.680
<v Speaker 1>emotions like I'm mad, you want to reach out, can't

0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:51.919
<v Speaker 1>do that. I'm one of those people who can get

0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 1>emotionally connected to stuff, but I learned a long time

0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 1>ago I gotta put my emotions on chill a lot

0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 1>of times when things happen. It's good to give yourself

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 1>time before you react. If you're mad, if you and

0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 1>your wife are fighting, walk your ass out of that house,

0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 1>go down the block. Cool off because in the heat

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:17.960
<v Speaker 1>at a moment, you might do or say things that

0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:24.440
<v Speaker 1>you'll regret forever. Emotional reactions are never the best reaction.

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Sit back, think about it, talk about it, build with it.

0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:33.040
<v Speaker 1>With some of your other friends who aren't emotionally connected

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:38.400
<v Speaker 1>to the situation. They'll give you a logical response. I

0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:42.199
<v Speaker 1>always say that men tend to be more logical. Women

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:46.120
<v Speaker 1>will move emotionally. A woman will stab you and then

0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 1>turn around and cry, oh my God, what did I do?

0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Watch out if a woman ever pulls a knife on you, run, motherfucker,

0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 1>because they more than likely are moving on emotions at

0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 1>that moment. A guy pulls a gun, he might stop.

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:04.280
<v Speaker 1>He might think if I pull this trigger, what's going

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:06.160
<v Speaker 1>to happen to me? I might go to prison, I'm

0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna go to jail, He's gonna die. And that logical

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.359
<v Speaker 1>reaction might get him not to pull the trigger. And

0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying that men aren't emotional. I am they

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:18.160
<v Speaker 1>are too. And I'm not saying that women aren't making

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:22.480
<v Speaker 1>logical decisions. But I know from my experience I'm more

0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:24.600
<v Speaker 1>scared of a woman with a knife because I know

0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:27.519
<v Speaker 1>that moment she might just reach out and be like,

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.560
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, what have I done? Because emotions are

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:36.239
<v Speaker 1>driving you at that moment. Always divide the two. I

0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 1>remember one time my friend was about to go do

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 1>something that he would have regretted the rest of his life.

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 1>And I understand that he was emotionally driven at that point,

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.960
<v Speaker 1>and I had to become emotional with him to get

0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 1>him to understand that this is how you're thinking, but

0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 1>let's think of the other side of this, what's going

0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:59.079
<v Speaker 1>to actually happen afterwards. And I was able to bring

0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 1>him to his sense. Unfortunately, he didn't spend the rest

0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.720
<v Speaker 1>of his life in prison because of an emotional decision.

0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>You have to learn to di's a difference, and you

0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:14.040
<v Speaker 1>have to know not to trust that emotional decision. Stop,

0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 1>take a break, take a breath, and think out the

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 1>ramifications about what you're about to do. This has been

0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 1>another Ice cole fact from me iced Tea. Listening again

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.840
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your ass. Till then,

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:42.840
