Speaker 1: I's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's UF
Speaker 1: Decise Team You're listening to. The Daily Game a compilation
Speaker 1: of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that I
Speaker 1: found inspiring and helped me through the game of life.
Speaker 1: Today's quote is coming to you from Lao Zu, whose
Speaker 1: name translates to Old Master. Lao Zu was a sixth
Speaker 1: century Chinese philosopher who emphasized the importance of non action
Speaker 1: resistance to live an elevated life. Lao said, he who
Speaker 1: conquers others is strong, He who conquers himself is mighty.
Speaker 1: The deepest control is self control, you know, overpowering somebody else,
Speaker 1: outsmartan somebody else. Yeah, you might be considered mighty if
Speaker 1: you can conquer people's minds or get people to roll
Speaker 1: with you, that's one thing. But conquering yourself, having absolute
Speaker 1: and total self control and discipline, it's damnar impossible. Because
Speaker 1: all of us do things we said we weren't gonna do.
Speaker 1: Whether it's like sticking to a diet damn near impossible,
Speaker 1: sticking to a workout regimen, damn near impossible. How many
Speaker 1: times are you doing things you said you weren't gonna do,
Speaker 1: but you do it. You make excuses. So to conquer yourself,
Speaker 1: to have absolute and total control over yourself will make
Speaker 1: you mighty. And I sit with so many people and
Speaker 1: it is like ice man, I can't do this. I can't.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm weak. I lose this like I lose focus.
Speaker 1: And that's your ultimate battle is you can you can
Speaker 1: trol yourself? Can you conquer yourself? So I agree totally
Speaker 1: with Loud. You know, there's a lot of people that
Speaker 1: can conquer other people, but then they have no control.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people in history that have been
Speaker 1: so dominant outwards toward people, but in their own life
Speaker 1: it was a disaster. In their own life. They had
Speaker 1: no self control, and most of those people imploded. You know,
Speaker 1: they were so powerful outwards, but inwards they had no control.
Speaker 1: So once you control yourself and you have absolute total
Speaker 1: self control, you become mighty. And I think that's what
Speaker 1: we all should work for, absolute and total self control.
Speaker 1: This has been another ice cold fact 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 stay knowing
Speaker 1: that if you can conquer yourself makes you a more
Speaker 1: powerful human being overall. I Sees Daily Game. It's a
