Speaker 1: Ice SE's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's
Speaker 1: Up A Size Team? You're listening to The Daily Game
Speaker 1: the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years
Speaker 1: that I've found inspiring and helped me through the game
Speaker 1: of life. Okay, today's quote comes from Aristotle, an ancient
Speaker 1: Greek philosopher and scientist who is still considered to be
Speaker 1: one of the greatest thinkers when it came to politics, psychology,
Speaker 1: and ethics. So you know this is going to be
Speaker 1: a good one. Excellence is never an accident. It is
Speaker 1: always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution.
Speaker 1: It represents the wise choice of many alternatives. Choice, not chances,
Speaker 1: determines your destiny. Aristotle was cold with that one, right.
Speaker 1: This quote feels especially timely now with social media influencers
Speaker 1: and wanna be tried to make it look like success
Speaker 1: comes easy. What did Aristotle say? It comes from sincere effort,
Speaker 1: intelligent execution, and I like this part. It represents the
Speaker 1: wise choice of many alternatives, choice not chance, determines your destiny.
Speaker 1: I just did a book called Split Decision, and it
Speaker 1: breaks down the fact that your choices definitely control the
Speaker 1: trajectory of your life. And my book, I made the
Speaker 1: choice to stop breaking the law. My boy made the
Speaker 1: choice to try one more move, which got him landed
Speaker 1: in prison for thirty five to life. Those were choices
Speaker 1: that weren't chances. Someone said that we make over three
Speaker 1: thousand decisions a day, A decision as simple as do
Speaker 1: I look to the left of the right. We continually
Speaker 1: make decisions. Do I get up right now and you know,
Speaker 1: go say I gotta go to the restroom. That's a decision. No,
Speaker 1: let me finish what I'm doing. Should I do this
Speaker 1: appointment today or cancel? What should I eat? We're making
Speaker 1: decisions continuously, and as Aristotle says, choices, not chances, determine
Speaker 1: your destiny. So at some point you start to realize
Speaker 1: that I have to make my decisions count. I can't
Speaker 1: just make random decisions. I run into so many people
Speaker 1: to say, oh, just let it go, just let it happen,
Speaker 1: let the chips fall where they may fuck that. I'm
Speaker 1: very methodical, and I try to think out if I
Speaker 1: do this, this could happen, This could happen. You always
Speaker 1: hear the term it's not checkers, it's chess. Most people
Speaker 1: to say that can't even play chess. But to think
Speaker 1: out what's going to happen after this, after that is
Speaker 1: a chance on controlling your destiny and directing your destiny,
Speaker 1: not just letting life happen and whatever happens happens. That's
Speaker 1: kind of like letting go of the steering wheel while
Speaker 1: you're driving. Excellence is never an accident. It is always
Speaker 1: the result of high intention. Wow, Aristotle was bad motherfucker
Speaker 1: for a reason. I feel this quote and it helps
Speaker 1: me stay focused because I know that what I want
Speaker 1: in life is not gonna come by accident, is only
Speaker 1: gonna come by me making the right decisions and making
Speaker 1: those hard choices. And the same thing goes for you.
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 achieving excellence isn't easy and it isn't an accident.
