Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's
Speaker 1: Up to SiZ Team. You're listening to The Daily Game,
Speaker 1: the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years
Speaker 1: that I've found inspiring and helped me through the game
Speaker 1: of life. Today's quote comes from an ancient rollment philosopher
Speaker 1: named Seneca. He's one of the first cats to really
Speaker 1: reflect on life and people. Seneca said, we are more
Speaker 1: often frightened than hurt, and we suffer more from imagination
Speaker 1: than from reality. How about that. What he's saying is
Speaker 1: that you know, in our brains we can go through
Speaker 1: the same pain over and over and over again. We
Speaker 1: can worry about things and suffer more than the actual
Speaker 1: thing ever happening. One of my quotes I always said
Speaker 1: is that worrying is like taking out a loan on
Speaker 1: a problem that may never happen. You're now spending a
Speaker 1: lot of energy based around what if, what if, what if?
Speaker 1: And it may never come. So we're more frightened than hurt.
Speaker 1: But like this, you're in a relationship, you spend the
Speaker 1: whole relationship worrying about your girl leaving you, which means
Speaker 1: you're frightened but she never does. So you're more frightened
Speaker 1: than hurt, but you're still in that pain place and
Speaker 1: you suffer more from your imagination than the reality. Ther
Speaker 1: reality is she still right there or he's still right there. Oh,
Speaker 1: this hits close to home dealing with some of our
Speaker 1: family members who have friends that are always saying, Oh,
Speaker 1: he's gonna do this, or she's gonna do that and this,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, there's no proof, there's no evidence. You
Speaker 1: are just imagining it because you're reflecting on Oh, well,
Speaker 1: I'm not up to par I'm not that person I
Speaker 1: should be. So they're gonna find somebody else, or they're
Speaker 1: gonna do this, or they're gonna do that. So you
Speaker 1: live in this world of perpetual pain, but they haven't
Speaker 1: even hurt you yet. This is just where your brain is.
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of deep layers here. Humans. We
Speaker 1: put up guards as survival technique for the worst possible scenario,
Speaker 1: which makes sense that there's been some deep trauma in
Speaker 1: your life. But we also let our imaginations dictate our
Speaker 1: reactions rather than the reality of our past. Like I said,
Speaker 1: this is some very multi level shit, but I like
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna save one more time on the way out.
Speaker 1: We are more often frightened than hurt, and we suffer
Speaker 1: more from imagination than from reality. Nun Less your imagination
Speaker 1: fuck your life up. This has been another ice cold
Speaker 1: fact from me, iced tea. Listening again tomorrow when I
Speaker 1: drop some wisdom on your ass till then stay, say
Speaker 1: say smart, and stay knowing that there's often a difference
Speaker 1: between putting up your guard and worrying about what could happen.
