Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's
Speaker 1: up to size Team? You're listening to? The Daily Game
Speaker 1: a compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years
Speaker 1: that I found inspiring and helped.
Speaker 2: Me through the game of life.
Speaker 1: Today's quote is from Thomas Pain, who is a philosopher
Speaker 1: during the Age of Enlightenment. So you know, I'm about
Speaker 1: to enlighten your ass right now. Right Our greatest enemies,
Speaker 1: the ones we fight most often, are within.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: It's interesting a lot of these quotes that I'm reading,
Speaker 1: I would say stuff like this, and I didn't even
Speaker 1: know who fucking Thomas Pain was. I guess the truth
Speaker 1: is the truth. And I guess if you sit back
Speaker 1: and you really just really try to analyze and assess life,
Speaker 1: a lot of people will come with the same answer.
Speaker 1: There's a song by Suicidal Tendencies called The War or
Speaker 1: Inside My Head, And I always have said that your
Speaker 1: biggest enemy, or your biggest battle, will be with your
Speaker 1: ego and yourself. I also said that humans are so
Speaker 1: flawed that if we can't fight, somebody will fucking fight ourselves.
Speaker 2: We will find something to be mad at. We'll look
Speaker 2: in the mirror and pick a fight with ourself.
Speaker 1: So the battle you'll fight the most often will be
Speaker 1: you going back and forth in your head with ideas,
Speaker 1: with problems, with situations. The fight you have with people
Speaker 1: outside that'll be rare. Every once in a while you
Speaker 1: have a battle with a friend or a foe or enemy.
Speaker 1: But every day, all day, we're going back and forth
Speaker 1: determining if this is the right thing to do or
Speaker 1: what to do. And the one thing I noticed is
Speaker 1: that I'm sober. I don't get high, I don't drink.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to imagine what's going on in somebody's head
Speaker 1: who's high. Like that battle gotta be crazy, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So a lot of times when your
Speaker 1: decision making process might be flawed or inhibited or impaired,
Speaker 1: that battle might get crazy. And I think that battle
Speaker 1: also can lead to depression. I think that battle can
Speaker 1: lead sometimes even terrible things like suicide. A lot of
Speaker 1: the problems aren't coming from outside influences. It's just going
Speaker 1: on inside your head. And that's right now. We're dealing
Speaker 1: with a lot of mental health issues. That's real. So
Speaker 1: understanding that we fight these enemies the most often understands
Speaker 1: that everybody's going through something, and just because you're sitting
Speaker 1: there and it doesn't look like you're in an argument,
Speaker 1: you could be in an argument in your.
Speaker 2: Head that's taking you out. You're going through different things.
Speaker 1: So getting your head together is probably one of the
Speaker 1: most difficult battles you'll ever face. One of the things
Speaker 1: I did to get my head right was to accept imperfection.
Speaker 1: I know things aren't going to go right, and I
Speaker 1: accept it. Like they say, man plans and God, lets
Speaker 1: I make a plan, but I know it's not gonna
Speaker 1: go right. I know things are gonna go wrong. I
Speaker 1: know that this shit is not gonna work out perfect.
Speaker 1: People are gonna miss their flights, things are gonna go wrong.
Speaker 1: I know that, and I have gained serenity in the
Speaker 1: chaos because I accept that as life. Life is chaos.
Speaker 1: Life is not without drama. It's part of it. And
Speaker 1: now that I understand that it's coming, and I'm ready
Speaker 1: for it, and I accept it and I deal with it,
Speaker 1: and I don't take it personally. I say, everyone has
Speaker 1: their own deck of stress cards, everybody, So this fucking
Speaker 1: thing we're in called life is a fucking mess. And
Speaker 1: then It gets in your fucking head and makes you
Speaker 1: fucking crazy. That's what it is. But don't think anybody
Speaker 1: is dealing with peace. You get peace for short periods
Speaker 1: of time, short sparks. But this thing life is a
Speaker 1: motherfucker for everybody. It's a motherfucker for everybody. And I
Speaker 1: think think you get more fucked up by thinking. Is
Speaker 1: not for everybody.
Speaker 2: You think.
Speaker 1: The other guy that just passed you in that porch
Speaker 1: his life is great. No, his wife is divorcing him
Speaker 1: and he's up shit creek.
Speaker 2: This has been another Ice Cold fact from me Iced team.
Speaker 1: Listening again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your
Speaker 1: ass till then, stay safe, stay smart, and stay knowing
Speaker 1: that the voice you had is pretty powerful, so we
Speaker 1: need to use it for motivation instead of discouragement.
