1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: Up to SiZ team. You're listening to The Daily Game,

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: that I've found inspiring and helped me through the game

5
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: of life. Today's quote is something I keep in mind

6
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: to stay motivated and focused. I've never been competitive. I

7
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: only set out to outdo myself. I think the most

8
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: competitive part of my life was probably when I was

9
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: in high school. You know, I was in gymnastics. You

10
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: know that's competitive. You're trying to outdo somebody. You know

11
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: too harder moves than other people. When I got into rap,

12
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: you have battle rap where you're trying to out wrap

13
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: other people. But truly, personally, I learned that competing with

14
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: people can send you down a very dark road. We

15
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: always said, you know, oh, if everybody you knew was

16
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: in a room and all of them through their problems

17
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: in the air, I bet you'd reach for yours on

18
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: the way down, meaning I know who I am, but

19
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what problems you have. The guy that

20
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: just passed me in the hood and the new roles,

21
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: I can't compete with him. Because I don't know what's

22
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: really going on in his life. He might have a

23
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: body in the trunk. I know what I'm doing. So

24
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 1: once you get into this mode of competing with yourself,

25
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: now you really can grow. I'll also say that life's

26
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: kind of like go to the gym. You go to

27
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: the gym, you look to the right, there will always

28
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: be someone in better shape than you. But if you

29
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: look to your left, there will be someone who would

30
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: die to be in your shape. So guess what You're

31
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: where you should be, and you just have to outdo yourself.

32
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: If you can do ten pushups tomorrow, you want to

33
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: do fifteen. If you can do fifteen in a week,

34
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: you want to be able to do twenty five. Then

35
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: you move up to fifty. If you compete with yourself,

36
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: if you set your own goals, you will advance way

37
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 1: faster than if you're looking at somebody trying to parlay

38
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: off of them. I had this one cat run up

39
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: to me the other day. While it goes tell me

40
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 1: you're wis tea. You know you ain't doctor Dre, and

41
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: doctor Dre made a billion dollars on Dre beats. You

42
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: ain't doctor. I'm like, well, you ain't Ice Tea, Like,

43
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: what the fuck you worry about me being dre. I'm

44
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: not worried about being dre. I'm trying to be ice.

45
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: So use yourself. Compete with the person in the mirror.

46
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: It's a waste of time competing with other people. It's

47
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: a waste of time. Unless you're in some competitive sport,

48
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: it's a waste of time. Just out do yesterday. Out

49
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: do yourself yesterday, you know, like the Buddhists say, grow

50
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: like the tree silently just grows and it's gonna grow

51
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: longer and forever. And you look around at Preece bigger

52
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: and bigger and bigger. It doesn't make any noise. It's

53
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: not competing with anybody else, but it's just growing. It's

54
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: keep growing, you know, don't be competitive. Being competitive will

55
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: just have you in a negative space, a lot of

56
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: waste of energy where you could just concentrate on outdoing yourself.

57
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: This has been another ice code fact from me Iced Tea.

58
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: Listening again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your
