1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's 2 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: up to size Team? You're listening to? The Daily Game 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: a compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: that I found inspiring and helped. 5 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 2: Me through the game of life. 6 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 1: Today's quote is from Thomas Pain, who is a philosopher 7 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: during the Age of Enlightenment. So you know, I'm about 8 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: to enlighten your ass right now. Right Our greatest enemies, 9 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: the ones we fight most often, are within. 10 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 2: Now. 11 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,200 Speaker 1: It's interesting a lot of these quotes that I'm reading, 12 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 1: I would say stuff like this, and I didn't even 13 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,599 Speaker 1: know who fucking Thomas Pain was. I guess the truth 14 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: is the truth. And I guess if you sit back 15 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: and you really just really try to analyze and assess life, 16 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: a lot of people will come with the same answer. 17 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: There's a song by Suicidal Tendencies called The War or 18 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: Inside My Head, And I always have said that your 19 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: biggest enemy, or your biggest battle, will be with your 20 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: ego and yourself. I also said that humans are so 21 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: flawed that if we can't fight, somebody will fucking fight ourselves. 22 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 2: We will find something to be mad at. We'll look 23 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 2: in the mirror and pick a fight with ourself. 24 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: So the battle you'll fight the most often will be 25 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: you going back and forth in your head with ideas, 26 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: with problems, with situations. The fight you have with people 27 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: outside that'll be rare. Every once in a while you 28 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,199 Speaker 1: have a battle with a friend or a foe or enemy. 29 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: But every day, all day, we're going back and forth 30 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: determining if this is the right thing to do or 31 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: what to do. And the one thing I noticed is 32 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: that I'm sober. I don't get high, I don't drink. 33 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: I'm trying to imagine what's going on in somebody's head 34 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: who's high. Like that battle gotta be crazy, you know 35 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So a lot of times when your 36 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: decision making process might be flawed or inhibited or impaired, 37 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: that battle might get crazy. And I think that battle 38 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: also can lead to depression. I think that battle can 39 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: lead sometimes even terrible things like suicide. A lot of 40 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,959 Speaker 1: the problems aren't coming from outside influences. It's just going 41 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: on inside your head. And that's right now. We're dealing 42 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: with a lot of mental health issues. That's real. So 43 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: understanding that we fight these enemies the most often understands 44 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: that everybody's going through something, and just because you're sitting 45 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: there and it doesn't look like you're in an argument, 46 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: you could be in an argument in your. 47 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 2: Head that's taking you out. You're going through different things. 48 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: So getting your head together is probably one of the 49 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: most difficult battles you'll ever face. One of the things 50 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: I did to get my head right was to accept imperfection. 51 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: I know things aren't going to go right, and I 52 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: accept it. Like they say, man plans and God, lets 53 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: I make a plan, but I know it's not gonna 54 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: go right. I know things are gonna go wrong. I 55 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: know that this shit is not gonna work out perfect. 56 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 1: People are gonna miss their flights, things are gonna go wrong. 57 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: I know that, and I have gained serenity in the 58 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: chaos because I accept that as life. Life is chaos. 59 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 1: Life is not without drama. It's part of it. And 60 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: now that I understand that it's coming, and I'm ready 61 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: for it, and I accept it and I deal with it, 62 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: and I don't take it personally. I say, everyone has 63 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: their own deck of stress cards, everybody, So this fucking 64 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: thing we're in called life is a fucking mess. And 65 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: then It gets in your fucking head and makes you 66 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: fucking crazy. That's what it is. But don't think anybody 67 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: is dealing with peace. You get peace for short periods 68 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: of time, short sparks. But this thing life is a 69 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: motherfucker for everybody. It's a motherfucker for everybody. And I 70 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: think think you get more fucked up by thinking. Is 71 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: not for everybody. 72 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 2: You think. 73 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: The other guy that just passed you in that porch 74 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: his life is great. No, his wife is divorcing him 75 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: and he's up shit creek. 76 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 2: This has been another Ice Cold fact from me Iced team. 77 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: Listening again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your 78 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: ass till then, stay safe, stay smart, and stay knowing 79 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: that the voice you had is pretty powerful, so we 80 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: need to use it for motivation instead of discouragement. 81 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 2: ICE's Daily Game. 82 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: It is a production of iHeartRadio, Final Level Entertainment and Oddity, 83 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: an Asylum entertainment company.
