WEBVTT - Love vs Fear

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.560
<v Speaker 1>I He's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

0:00:04.640 --> 0:00:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Up is Ice Team? You're listening to The Daily Game,

0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:12.040
<v Speaker 1>the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years

0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:16.120
<v Speaker 1>that I found inspiring and helped me through the game

0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:20.520
<v Speaker 1>of life. Today's quote is something I keep in mind

0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:24.160
<v Speaker 1>to stay motivated, and it's coming from Axel Rose. We

0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:26.840
<v Speaker 1>were fortunate as body count to go out on the road.

0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:31.880
<v Speaker 1>We opened for Guns N' Roses and Metallica on one

0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 1>of their tours, and we got to play stadiums with him,

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:39.120
<v Speaker 1>and Axel was cool as hell. Duff McKagan became extremely

0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 1>good friends with Ernie. Ernie was actually his best man

0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:47.080
<v Speaker 1>at his wedding. And Axel's just like me. He's outspoken,

0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 1>he'll say some controversial stuff, but at the end of

0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:55.200
<v Speaker 1>the day, he's a good dude and he's the epitome

0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:58.760
<v Speaker 1>of a rock star. And I have nothing but good

0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 1>things to say about Axel ros He says we are

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:10.840
<v Speaker 1>made up of two contrasting ideals, love and fear. Pick

0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 1>one and live. When I think about what Axel is saying,

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 1>I know love is one fear. I never really looked

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:25.080
<v Speaker 1>at that as one of my primal ideals because I

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:29.560
<v Speaker 1>think it's more love and hate. But fear motivates a

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:32.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of people that hate, you know, so it might

0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:35.119
<v Speaker 1>be deeper than that. But what he says is pick

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 1>one and live. So the decision is, are you going

0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:39.279
<v Speaker 1>to be a lover? Are you going to be someone

0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:42.480
<v Speaker 1>who's out here trying to make things better, trying to

0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:45.399
<v Speaker 1>care about people, trying to be a good person. To me,

0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 1>love means goodness, you know, when you're in a happily

0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 1>loving relationship and when you look at your child and

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 1>the way you love it as a pure form of

0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 1>just something that's beautiful, because it's that's true, that's real love.

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Fear is something that we're afraid of, and I guess

0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.720
<v Speaker 1>we all have certain fears, even if it's just the

0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:11.960
<v Speaker 1>fear of death. But this would be how you're gonna

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:13.600
<v Speaker 1>choose to live your life. Are you going to be

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:16.040
<v Speaker 1>a loving person? Are you going to be afraid of

0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:21.880
<v Speaker 1>things and afraid to do things and not take those chances.

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 1>I think that's what he's getting at. And I don't

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:26.680
<v Speaker 1>know if we need to overcome love, but you have

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 1>to overcome fear to make moves. There's no real safe moves.

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.400
<v Speaker 1>We used to say, raise the risk, raise the profit.

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:38.440
<v Speaker 1>But you have to step out of that comfort zone.

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 1>You can't be afraid of everything. You can't be afraid

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.960
<v Speaker 1>of love. That's why they call it fall. When you

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 1>fall in love, it's kind of like you just, you know,

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 1>release everything and take that risk and hand over the

0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:52.799
<v Speaker 1>keys to somebody else and say, Okay, I'm about to

0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:54.919
<v Speaker 1>fall in love. I'm gonna let you have my heart

0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.760
<v Speaker 1>for a minute. See how this works out. You know,

0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.280
<v Speaker 1>And it's risky, but that's that's what Axel says, and

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:04.040
<v Speaker 1>I agree with him. He said, you think about it,

0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:07.959
<v Speaker 1>Love versus fear, both super strong elements of the primal

0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:13.080
<v Speaker 1>human condition. Pick your lane. Well, I think I picked love.

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Later on, early in my life, I was on the

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:20.840
<v Speaker 1>dark side, so I was pushing negativity. I thought, since

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.359
<v Speaker 1>life had been cold to me, I had to be negative.

0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:25.920
<v Speaker 1>That's how you win. But I was wrong. Love is

0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:29.160
<v Speaker 1>the answer, being a good person is the answer, and

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 1>being fearless might become reckless. But fear is just there

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 1>as a warning saying, okay, you're about to go into

0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:42.040
<v Speaker 1>a dangerous place. Pay attention. But you can conquer fear too.

0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 1>You just have to be very alert. Same way with love,

0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:52.360
<v Speaker 1>you have to be very alert. This has been another

0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:56.360
<v Speaker 1>ice cold fact from me Iced tea. Listening again tomorrow

0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 1>when I drop some wisdom on your ass. Till then,

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:07.960
<v Speaker 1>stay safe, stay smart, and choose love. I Sees Daily
