WEBVTT - Commitment to Excellence

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:04.680
<v Speaker 1>I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's Up,

0:00:04.800 --> 0:00:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Size Team? You're listening to The Daily Game the compilation

0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:12.600
<v Speaker 1>of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that I've

0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:17.400
<v Speaker 1>found inspiring and helped me through the game of life.

0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Today's quote comes from Mario Andretti, one of the most

0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:26.960
<v Speaker 1>successful drivers in the history of motorsports. I'm very fortunate

0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:29.960
<v Speaker 1>to have met Mario Andretti because I'm close friends with

0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 1>his grandson, Marco Andretti. So I've been out to the

0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:37.959
<v Speaker 1>Andretti house. I've been in Mario's house. I've seen all

0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:43.360
<v Speaker 1>his trophies. There's nobody that knows how to win like

0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Mario Andretti, and he is a very very cool, deep,

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:53.040
<v Speaker 1>sincere person. So listen to this quote from Mario Andretti.

0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Desire is the key to motivation. But it's the determination

0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 1>and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal, a

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:07.319
<v Speaker 1>commitment to excellence that will enable you to attain the

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:13.160
<v Speaker 1>success you seek. Mario Andretti's that's why he was so great.

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:17.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what he's saying is that desire motivates you. Okay,

0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:21.640
<v Speaker 1>you want something, so now you're motivated, we get that,

0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:29.840
<v Speaker 1>but it's determination, commitment, unrelenting pursuit of your goal. Unrelenting,

0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:32.360
<v Speaker 1>that's the big word. It means you are not going

0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:35.840
<v Speaker 1>to stop. You have to be determined, and you have

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:40.520
<v Speaker 1>to be willing to push past everything to get to it.

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 1>And you have to want excellence. All those have to

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 1>come into play. If you want to obtain the success

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.720
<v Speaker 1>you seek, you have to be willing to do what

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.000
<v Speaker 1>everybody else won't do. I mean this was from another quote.

0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 1>I was telling somebody today that everything that you want

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 1>usually comes from discomfort. The things you you're trying to achieve,

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>all all the all the goals you want will happened

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:13.840
<v Speaker 1>during discomfort. When you're relaxing, you're not moving. But you

0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 1>have to be willing to be uncomfortable, and you have

0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:20.360
<v Speaker 1>to be willing to push past what other people stop

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 1>where Flavor flav told me once. He said, if you

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 1>want to have an ordinary life, you do ordinary things.

0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:30.280
<v Speaker 1>If you want an extraordinary life, you do have to

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:34.640
<v Speaker 1>do extra than the ordinary. What Mario is saying is

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.720
<v Speaker 1>you have to be so focused and willing to push

0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:39.320
<v Speaker 1>past everything.

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:41.400
<v Speaker 2>I love the word unrelenting.

0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 1>At the end of the day, everyone has desires, right,

0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:49.800
<v Speaker 1>but the commitment is what separates the fakers from the

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:53.679
<v Speaker 1>real ones. It's it's so simple, but it's so difficult

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:54.720
<v Speaker 1>for people to understand.

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.120
<v Speaker 2>Like I mean, here's an analogy.

0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:59.240
<v Speaker 1>You want to you want to get in shape, right,

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.160
<v Speaker 1>you want to have a a nice physique, But it

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:05.000
<v Speaker 1>doesn't happen by sitting on the couch. You have to

0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:09.519
<v Speaker 1>commit yourself to the workouts necessary, you know. I remember

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:11.360
<v Speaker 1>one time if somebody was telling me one of my

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 1>bodybuilding friends was like, oh, they say, you guys are

0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.119
<v Speaker 1>doing steroids. He says, you can't do steroids and sit

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:19.360
<v Speaker 1>on the couch. He says, I'm in the gym twice

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:23.520
<v Speaker 1>a day, you know, five six, seven days a week.

0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 1>So you have to be committed to whatever it is

0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:29.799
<v Speaker 1>what you want in life.

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:31.320
<v Speaker 2>You have to be committed.

0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:33.320
<v Speaker 1>You have to wake up, you have to think about it,

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 1>you have to push it, and you have to want

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:39.720
<v Speaker 1>to be excellent, better than everybody else, better than you

0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:43.600
<v Speaker 1>were the day before. And that's the only thing it's

0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:46.680
<v Speaker 1>going to make you attain the success you seek.

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:49.320
<v Speaker 2>It's not going to help just to be motivated.

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.400
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna have to go out and commit to that task,

0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:59.040
<v Speaker 1>it's necessary to achieve what you want. This has been

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 1>another ice cold back from me. Iced t listening again

0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your ass. Till then,

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 1>stay safe, stay smart, and stay knowing that anybody can

0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 1>come to the table with desire, but it's the commitment

0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:18.520
<v Speaker 1>and focused pursuit of excellence that will elevate your game.
