Speaker 1: Icey's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's Suffer
Speaker 1: Size Team. You're listening to The Daily Game, the compilation
Speaker 1: of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that I've
Speaker 1: found inspiring and helped me through the game of life.
Speaker 1: Today's quote comes from an ancient Roman philosopher Seneca. This
Speaker 1: one right here hit me. We suffer more in imagination
Speaker 1: than in reality. Now, I guess this can be argued
Speaker 1: because there are people out there that are truly, truly
Speaker 1: suffering and reality. But let's talk about us that are
Speaker 1: doing okay, that have jobs and lifes, and we're living
Speaker 1: in a great country where we have, you know, indoor
Speaker 1: plumbing and grocery story. Let's talk about us, not people
Speaker 1: in third world countries or people that are in war
Speaker 1: dealing with true suffering for more in imagination than in reality.
Speaker 1: I always said, worrying is like putting the down payment
Speaker 1: on a problem you may never have. You know, we
Speaker 1: can sit up in our minds and mind fuck ourselves
Speaker 1: into suffering that does not really exist. It doesn't really exist,
Speaker 1: even like my job. When we're reacting, I was like,
Speaker 1: don't confuse this with work. You know, we actually are
Speaker 1: getting to play grown up. Make believe we come in here,
Speaker 1: we're not lifting bricks, we're not dealing with issues and problems.
Speaker 1: But in our brains we can sit up and suffer.
Speaker 1: We can go through so much problem and so much
Speaker 1: heartache that maybe hasn't even happened, but we can mind
Speaker 1: fuck ourselves. So I always try to tell people, you know,
Speaker 1: don't mind fuck yourself into misery. I do it. I
Speaker 1: could be driving to work, i could be feeling so
Speaker 1: fucked up. I'm like, man, shit is going wrong. This
Speaker 1: is going this way, this is going that way, And
Speaker 1: then I snatched myself up. I'm like, motherfucker, you're in
Speaker 1: a Bentley sit Ain't that bad? The fuck's the matter
Speaker 1: with you? This is a guy sitting on the side
Speaker 1: of the road and had nothing to eat. Let's get perspective.
Speaker 1: And I think everyone needs a reference point to fucked up,
Speaker 1: Like there has to be a point in your life
Speaker 1: where something was really fucked up, and use that reference
Speaker 1: point next time you start to go through your suffering
Speaker 1: and say, you know what, I've been fucked up. This
Speaker 1: is not fucked up. I've been through some bad times.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pull through this you know so really, I
Speaker 1: guess what Seneca was saying is don't let your imagination
Speaker 1: mind fuck you into misery. In reality, you might be
Speaker 1: doing good, you might be doing all right. That's the
Speaker 1: real shit you said. Mind fucked yourself to think that
Speaker 1: you and your Gucci sneakers are having a bad time.
Speaker 1: This has been another ice coldefact from me iced tea.
Speaker 1: Listening again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your
Speaker 1: ass till then, stay safe, stay smart, and say knowing
Speaker 1: that you have control over how you react to any situation.
