WEBVTT - Imaginary Problems

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Icey's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's Suffer

0:00:04.720 --> 0:00:08.840
<v Speaker 1>Size Team. You're listening to The Daily Game, the compilation

0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:12.559
<v Speaker 1>of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that I've

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:17.920
<v Speaker 1>found inspiring and helped me through the game of life.

0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Today's quote comes from an ancient Roman philosopher Seneca. This

0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:29.720
<v Speaker 1>one right here hit me. We suffer more in imagination

0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:36.200
<v Speaker 1>than in reality. Now, I guess this can be argued

0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:39.239
<v Speaker 1>because there are people out there that are truly, truly

0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:43.479
<v Speaker 1>suffering and reality. But let's talk about us that are

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:47.240
<v Speaker 1>doing okay, that have jobs and lifes, and we're living

0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:49.960
<v Speaker 1>in a great country where we have, you know, indoor

0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:53.120
<v Speaker 1>plumbing and grocery story. Let's talk about us, not people

0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 1>in third world countries or people that are in war

0:00:56.680 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 1>dealing with true suffering for more in imagination than in reality.

0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 1>I always said, worrying is like putting the down payment

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:10.759
<v Speaker 1>on a problem you may never have. You know, we

0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:14.399
<v Speaker 1>can sit up in our minds and mind fuck ourselves

0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:20.480
<v Speaker 1>into suffering that does not really exist. It doesn't really exist,

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:22.720
<v Speaker 1>even like my job. When we're reacting, I was like,

0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:26.360
<v Speaker 1>don't confuse this with work. You know, we actually are

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.360
<v Speaker 1>getting to play grown up. Make believe we come in here,

0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:34.440
<v Speaker 1>we're not lifting bricks, we're not dealing with issues and problems.

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:39.039
<v Speaker 1>But in our brains we can sit up and suffer.

0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:41.640
<v Speaker 1>We can go through so much problem and so much

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:45.560
<v Speaker 1>heartache that maybe hasn't even happened, but we can mind

0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 1>fuck ourselves. So I always try to tell people, you know,

0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:52.600
<v Speaker 1>don't mind fuck yourself into misery. I do it. I

0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:54.880
<v Speaker 1>could be driving to work, i could be feeling so

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:58.440
<v Speaker 1>fucked up. I'm like, man, shit is going wrong. This

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 1>is going this way, this is going that way, And

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 1>then I snatched myself up. I'm like, motherfucker, you're in

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:08.280
<v Speaker 1>a Bentley sit Ain't that bad? The fuck's the matter

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:10.079
<v Speaker 1>with you? This is a guy sitting on the side

0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:13.360
<v Speaker 1>of the road and had nothing to eat. Let's get perspective.

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:17.839
<v Speaker 1>And I think everyone needs a reference point to fucked up,

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Like there has to be a point in your life

0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 1>where something was really fucked up, and use that reference

0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:27.359
<v Speaker 1>point next time you start to go through your suffering

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:29.800
<v Speaker 1>and say, you know what, I've been fucked up. This

0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:33.000
<v Speaker 1>is not fucked up. I've been through some bad times.

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna pull through this you know so really, I

0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 1>guess what Seneca was saying is don't let your imagination

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:45.960
<v Speaker 1>mind fuck you into misery. In reality, you might be

0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 1>doing good, you might be doing all right. That's the

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 1>real shit you said. Mind fucked yourself to think that

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>you and your Gucci sneakers are having a bad time.

0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:04.399
<v Speaker 1>This has been another ice coldefact from me iced tea.
