Speaker 1: I He's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's
Speaker 1: Up is Ice 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 found inspiring and helped me through the game
Speaker 1: of life. Today's quote is something I keep in mind
Speaker 1: to stay motivated, and it's coming from Axel Rose. We
Speaker 1: were fortunate as body count to go out on the road.
Speaker 1: We opened for Guns N' Roses and Metallica on one
Speaker 1: of their tours, and we got to play stadiums with him,
Speaker 1: and Axel was cool as hell. Duff McKagan became extremely
Speaker 1: good friends with Ernie. Ernie was actually his best man
Speaker 1: at his wedding. And Axel's just like me. He's outspoken,
Speaker 1: he'll say some controversial stuff, but at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, he's a good dude and he's the epitome
Speaker 1: of a rock star. And I have nothing but good
Speaker 1: things to say about Axel ros He says we are
Speaker 1: made up of two contrasting ideals, love and fear. Pick
Speaker 1: one and live. When I think about what Axel is saying,
Speaker 1: I know love is one fear. I never really looked
Speaker 1: at that as one of my primal ideals because I
Speaker 1: think it's more love and hate. But fear motivates a
Speaker 1: lot of people that hate, you know, so it might
Speaker 1: be deeper than that. But what he says is pick
Speaker 1: one and live. So the decision is, are you going
Speaker 1: to be a lover? Are you going to be someone
Speaker 1: who's out here trying to make things better, trying to
Speaker 1: care about people, trying to be a good person. To me,
Speaker 1: love means goodness, you know, when you're in a happily
Speaker 1: loving relationship and when you look at your child and
Speaker 1: the way you love it as a pure form of
Speaker 1: just something that's beautiful, because it's that's true, that's real love.
Speaker 1: Fear is something that we're afraid of, and I guess
Speaker 1: we all have certain fears, even if it's just the
Speaker 1: fear of death. But this would be how you're gonna
Speaker 1: choose to live your life. Are you going to be
Speaker 1: a loving person? Are you going to be afraid of
Speaker 1: things and afraid to do things and not take those chances.
Speaker 1: I think that's what he's getting at. And I don't
Speaker 1: know if we need to overcome love, but you have
Speaker 1: to overcome fear to make moves. There's no real safe moves.
Speaker 1: We used to say, raise the risk, raise the profit.
Speaker 1: But you have to step out of that comfort zone.
Speaker 1: You can't be afraid of everything. You can't be afraid
Speaker 1: of love. That's why they call it fall. When you
Speaker 1: fall in love, it's kind of like you just, you know,
Speaker 1: release everything and take that risk and hand over the
Speaker 1: keys to somebody else and say, Okay, I'm about to
Speaker 1: fall in love. I'm gonna let you have my heart
Speaker 1: for a minute. See how this works out. You know,
Speaker 1: And it's risky, but that's that's what Axel says, and
Speaker 1: I agree with him. He said, you think about it,
Speaker 1: Love versus fear, both super strong elements of the primal
Speaker 1: human condition. Pick your lane. Well, I think I picked love.
Speaker 1: Later on, early in my life, I was on the
Speaker 1: dark side, so I was pushing negativity. I thought, since
Speaker 1: life had been cold to me, I had to be negative.
Speaker 1: That's how you win. But I was wrong. Love is
Speaker 1: the answer, being a good person is the answer, and
Speaker 1: being fearless might become reckless. But fear is just there
Speaker 1: as a warning saying, okay, you're about to go into
Speaker 1: a dangerous place. Pay attention. But you can conquer fear too.
Speaker 1: You just have to be very alert. Same way with love,
Speaker 1: you have to be very alert. This has been another
Speaker 1: ice cold fact from me Iced tea. Listening again tomorrow
Speaker 1: when I drop some wisdom on your ass. Till then,
Speaker 1: stay safe, stay smart, and choose love. I Sees Daily
