Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's Up,
Speaker 1: Size Team? You're listening to The Daily Game the compilation
Speaker 1: of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that I've
Speaker 1: found inspiring and helped me through the game of life.
Speaker 1: Today's quote comes from Mario Andretti, one of the most
Speaker 1: successful drivers in the history of motorsports. I'm very fortunate
Speaker 1: to have met Mario Andretti because I'm close friends with
Speaker 1: his grandson, Marco Andretti. So I've been out to the
Speaker 1: Andretti house. I've been in Mario's house. I've seen all
Speaker 1: his trophies. There's nobody that knows how to win like
Speaker 1: Mario Andretti, and he is a very very cool, deep,
Speaker 1: sincere person. So listen to this quote from Mario Andretti.
Speaker 1: Desire is the key to motivation. But it's the determination
Speaker 1: and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal, a
Speaker 1: commitment to excellence that will enable you to attain the
Speaker 1: success you seek. Mario Andretti's that's why he was so great.
Speaker 1: I mean, what he's saying is that desire motivates you. Okay,
Speaker 1: you want something, so now you're motivated, we get that,
Speaker 1: but it's determination, commitment, unrelenting pursuit of your goal. Unrelenting,
Speaker 1: that's the big word. It means you are not going
Speaker 1: to stop. You have to be determined, and you have
Speaker 1: to be willing to push past everything to get to it.
Speaker 1: And you have to want excellence. All those have to
Speaker 1: come into play. If you want to obtain the success
Speaker 1: you seek, you have to be willing to do what
Speaker 1: everybody else won't do. I mean this was from another quote.
Speaker 1: I was telling somebody today that everything that you want
Speaker 1: usually comes from discomfort. The things you you're trying to achieve,
Speaker 1: all all the all the goals you want will happened
Speaker 1: during discomfort. When you're relaxing, you're not moving. But you
Speaker 1: have to be willing to be uncomfortable, and you have
Speaker 1: to be willing to push past what other people stop
Speaker 1: where Flavor flav told me once. He said, if you
Speaker 1: want to have an ordinary life, you do ordinary things.
Speaker 1: If you want an extraordinary life, you do have to
Speaker 1: do extra than the ordinary. What Mario is saying is
Speaker 1: you have to be so focused and willing to push
Speaker 1: past everything.
Speaker 2: I love the word unrelenting.
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, everyone has desires, right,
Speaker 1: but the commitment is what separates the fakers from the
Speaker 1: real ones. It's it's so simple, but it's so difficult
Speaker 1: for people to understand.
Speaker 2: Like I mean, here's an analogy.
Speaker 1: You want to you want to get in shape, right,
Speaker 1: you want to have a a nice physique, But it
Speaker 1: doesn't happen by sitting on the couch. You have to
Speaker 1: commit yourself to the workouts necessary, you know. I remember
Speaker 1: one time if somebody was telling me one of my
Speaker 1: bodybuilding friends was like, oh, they say, you guys are
Speaker 1: doing steroids. He says, you can't do steroids and sit
Speaker 1: on the couch. He says, I'm in the gym twice
Speaker 1: a day, you know, five six, seven days a week.
Speaker 1: So you have to be committed to whatever it is
Speaker 1: what you want in life.
Speaker 2: You have to be committed.
Speaker 1: You have to wake up, you have to think about it,
Speaker 1: you have to push it, and you have to want
Speaker 1: to be excellent, better than everybody else, better than you
Speaker 1: were the day before. And that's the only thing it's
Speaker 1: going to make you attain the success you seek.
Speaker 2: It's not going to help just to be motivated.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to go out and commit to that task,
Speaker 1: it's necessary to achieve what you want. This has been
Speaker 1: another ice cold back from me. Iced t listening again
Speaker 1: tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your ass. Till then,
Speaker 1: stay safe, stay smart, and stay knowing that anybody can
Speaker 1: come to the table with desire, but it's the commitment
Speaker 1: and focused pursuit of excellence that will elevate your game.
