WEBVTT - Self-Control

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.680
<v Speaker 1>I's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's UF

0:00:04.680 --> 0:00:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Decise Team You're listening to. The Daily Game a compilation

0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:12.520
<v Speaker 1>of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that I

0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:16.800
<v Speaker 1>found inspiring and helped me through the game of life.

0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Today's quote is coming to you from Lao Zu, whose

0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:26.720
<v Speaker 1>name translates to Old Master. Lao Zu was a sixth

0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>century Chinese philosopher who emphasized the importance of non action

0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:36.400
<v Speaker 1>resistance to live an elevated life. Lao said, he who

0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:42.200
<v Speaker 1>conquers others is strong, He who conquers himself is mighty.

0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:51.520
<v Speaker 1>The deepest control is self control, you know, overpowering somebody else,

0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:57.000
<v Speaker 1>outsmartan somebody else. Yeah, you might be considered mighty if

0:00:57.040 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 1>you can conquer people's minds or get people to roll

0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:06.360
<v Speaker 1>with you, that's one thing. But conquering yourself, having absolute

0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:12.280
<v Speaker 1>and total self control and discipline, it's damnar impossible. Because

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:16.760
<v Speaker 1>all of us do things we said we weren't gonna do.

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Whether it's like sticking to a diet damn near impossible,

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:26.240
<v Speaker 1>sticking to a workout regimen, damn near impossible. How many

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>times are you doing things you said you weren't gonna do,

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 1>but you do it. You make excuses. So to conquer yourself,

0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:41.160
<v Speaker 1>to have absolute and total control over yourself will make

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:44.640
<v Speaker 1>you mighty. And I sit with so many people and

0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.480
<v Speaker 1>it is like ice man, I can't do this. I can't.

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:52.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm weak. I lose this like I lose focus.

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:56.280
<v Speaker 1>And that's your ultimate battle is you can you can

0:01:56.320 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 1>trol yourself? Can you conquer yourself? So I agree totally

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 1>with Loud. You know, there's a lot of people that

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.640
<v Speaker 1>can conquer other people, but then they have no control.

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:09.320
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of people in history that have been

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:14.320
<v Speaker 1>so dominant outwards toward people, but in their own life

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.440
<v Speaker 1>it was a disaster. In their own life. They had

0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:21.080
<v Speaker 1>no self control, and most of those people imploded. You know,

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:27.360
<v Speaker 1>they were so powerful outwards, but inwards they had no control.

0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:31.640
<v Speaker 1>So once you control yourself and you have absolute total

0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:35.360
<v Speaker 1>self control, you become mighty. And I think that's what

0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:39.960
<v Speaker 1>we all should work for, absolute and total self control.

0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:47.560
<v Speaker 1>This has been another ice cold fact from me iced tea.

0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Listening again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:55.080
<v Speaker 1>ass till then, stay safe, stay smart, and stay knowing

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:57.959
<v Speaker 1>that if you can conquer yourself makes you a more

0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:03.239
<v Speaker 1>powerful human being overall. I Sees Daily Game. It's a
