WEBVTT - Greatest Enemies

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:07.640
<v Speaker 1>up to size Team? You're listening to? The Daily Game

0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:11.920
<v Speaker 1>a compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years

0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:14.960
<v Speaker 1>that I found inspiring and helped.

0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:16.800
<v Speaker 2>Me through the game of life.

0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Today's quote is from Thomas Pain, who is a philosopher

0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:24.640
<v Speaker 1>during the Age of Enlightenment. So you know, I'm about

0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 1>to enlighten your ass right now. Right Our greatest enemies,

0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:33.720
<v Speaker 1>the ones we fight most often, are within.

0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:36.640
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:39.200
<v Speaker 1>It's interesting a lot of these quotes that I'm reading,

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:41.880
<v Speaker 1>I would say stuff like this, and I didn't even

0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:46.599
<v Speaker 1>know who fucking Thomas Pain was. I guess the truth

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:50.000
<v Speaker 1>is the truth. And I guess if you sit back

0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 1>and you really just really try to analyze and assess life,

0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:56.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people will come with the same answer.

0:00:57.200 --> 0:01:00.200
<v Speaker 1>There's a song by Suicidal Tendencies called The War or

0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Inside My Head, And I always have said that your

0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 1>biggest enemy, or your biggest battle, will be with your

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:12.840
<v Speaker 1>ego and yourself. I also said that humans are so

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:17.760
<v Speaker 1>flawed that if we can't fight, somebody will fucking fight ourselves.

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:20.759
<v Speaker 2>We will find something to be mad at. We'll look

0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:22.800
<v Speaker 2>in the mirror and pick a fight with ourself.

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:27.280
<v Speaker 1>So the battle you'll fight the most often will be

0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:30.000
<v Speaker 1>you going back and forth in your head with ideas,

0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:34.040
<v Speaker 1>with problems, with situations. The fight you have with people

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 1>outside that'll be rare. Every once in a while you

0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:39.199
<v Speaker 1>have a battle with a friend or a foe or enemy.

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 1>But every day, all day, we're going back and forth

0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:46.000
<v Speaker 1>determining if this is the right thing to do or

0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:48.320
<v Speaker 1>what to do. And the one thing I noticed is

0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 1>that I'm sober. I don't get high, I don't drink.

0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:53.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to imagine what's going on in somebody's head

0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 1>who's high. Like that battle gotta be crazy, you know

0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. So a lot of times when your

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:04.560
<v Speaker 1>decision making process might be flawed or inhibited or impaired,

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:08.240
<v Speaker 1>that battle might get crazy. And I think that battle

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:11.800
<v Speaker 1>also can lead to depression. I think that battle can

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:16.240
<v Speaker 1>lead sometimes even terrible things like suicide. A lot of

0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:19.959
<v Speaker 1>the problems aren't coming from outside influences. It's just going

0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:22.720
<v Speaker 1>on inside your head. And that's right now. We're dealing

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:26.360
<v Speaker 1>with a lot of mental health issues. That's real. So

0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:31.639
<v Speaker 1>understanding that we fight these enemies the most often understands

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:35.200
<v Speaker 1>that everybody's going through something, and just because you're sitting

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.400
<v Speaker 1>there and it doesn't look like you're in an argument,

0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 1>you could be in an argument in your.

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Head that's taking you out. You're going through different things.

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 1>So getting your head together is probably one of the

0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:49.800
<v Speaker 1>most difficult battles you'll ever face. One of the things

0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I did to get my head right was to accept imperfection.

0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.680
<v Speaker 1>I know things aren't going to go right, and I

0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 1>accept it. Like they say, man plans and God, lets

0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I make a plan, but I know it's not gonna

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 1>go right. I know things are gonna go wrong. I

0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:08.640
<v Speaker 1>know that this shit is not gonna work out perfect.

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:10.959
<v Speaker 1>People are gonna miss their flights, things are gonna go wrong.

0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:15.120
<v Speaker 1>I know that, and I have gained serenity in the

0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:20.320
<v Speaker 1>chaos because I accept that as life. Life is chaos.

0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:24.359
<v Speaker 1>Life is not without drama. It's part of it. And

0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 1>now that I understand that it's coming, and I'm ready

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.640
<v Speaker 1>for it, and I accept it and I deal with it,

0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:32.640
<v Speaker 1>and I don't take it personally. I say, everyone has

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:36.640
<v Speaker 1>their own deck of stress cards, everybody, So this fucking

0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.440
<v Speaker 1>thing we're in called life is a fucking mess. And

0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:41.840
<v Speaker 1>then It gets in your fucking head and makes you

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:47.880
<v Speaker 1>fucking crazy. That's what it is. But don't think anybody

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.560
<v Speaker 1>is dealing with peace. You get peace for short periods

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:55.160
<v Speaker 1>of time, short sparks. But this thing life is a

0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:59.760
<v Speaker 1>motherfucker for everybody. It's a motherfucker for everybody. And I

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 1>think think you get more fucked up by thinking. Is

0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:03.680
<v Speaker 1>not for everybody.

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 2>You think.

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:06.120
<v Speaker 1>The other guy that just passed you in that porch

0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:10.000
<v Speaker 1>his life is great. No, his wife is divorcing him

0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:11.240
<v Speaker 1>and he's up shit creek.

0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:19.160
<v Speaker 2>This has been another Ice Cold fact from me Iced team.

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:22.400

0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:26.040
<v Speaker 1>ass till then, stay safe, stay smart, and stay knowing

0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.599
