Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's
Speaker 1: up to size Team? You're listening to? The Daily Game
Speaker 1: a 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 comes from someone I call a
Speaker 1: good friend, Henry Rollins, and I go way back. Many
Speaker 1: of you would never think that two people to look
Speaker 1: so different on the outside could actually have so much
Speaker 1: in common, but we do. I mean, I met Henry
Speaker 1: Rollins for the first time on Lalapalooza, and you know,
Speaker 1: we were out there with them, and I would watch
Speaker 1: Henry warm up off of Terror Dome. He would listen
Speaker 1: the Public Enemy and get hyped for his set, and
Speaker 1: he had this big tattoo on his back to say
Speaker 1: seek and destroy. I'm like, who is this wild motherfucker
Speaker 1: jumping around barefoot on stage. I also knew that he
Speaker 1: had sunk with Black Flag and he was really the
Speaker 1: epitome of hardcore lead singer. And we started to vibe
Speaker 1: together out on that tour, and since then we've become
Speaker 1: very close friends because we think pretty much along the
Speaker 1: same lines. Henry's quote is strength is the product of struggle.
Speaker 1: You must do what others don't to achieve what others won't.
Speaker 1: A lot of times, the strongest people you know have
Speaker 1: been through the hardest struggles you can't even imagine. They've
Speaker 1: been through it and they've come out stronger than before.
Speaker 1: People say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. It does,
Speaker 1: but it also can leave a bruise. Going through hardship
Speaker 1: can also damage you too. You have to be able
Speaker 1: to pull out the other side of it for it
Speaker 1: to make you stronger. Some things really damage people permanently.
Speaker 1: But when you find somebody who is able to make
Speaker 1: it through that struggle and come out on the other side,
Speaker 1: now they're cut different. They've been through something that you haven't.
Speaker 1: And that's where a lot of people earn their stripes
Speaker 1: and they get that level of intensity. A lot of
Speaker 1: times people will meet me and they be like, Wow,
Speaker 1: you handle that so easily. You were able to go
Speaker 1: through that, it didn't bother you. I'm like, well, you
Speaker 1: have no idea what I've been through. This is light
Speaker 1: shit compared to anything. It's kind of like when you're
Speaker 1: in the military, they train you to go through extreme
Speaker 1: adversity so that when you come upon adversity, it doesn't
Speaker 1: seem that intense. So strength is a product of struggle.
Speaker 1: Going through a struggle will make you stronger, and it
Speaker 1: makes you ready to deal with it again because it's
Speaker 1: not the first time. If you want to see somebody
Speaker 1: that's not strong, find somebody that's never been through any
Speaker 1: struggles the first little thing they lose their mind about.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've been out in snow in New York
Speaker 1: City and it's been you know, zero degrees. But when
Speaker 1: I was in the service, I was in Korea it
Speaker 1: was thirty two below zero and we were sleeping in
Speaker 1: you know, tense. So by having that struggle ahead of me,
Speaker 1: gone through that, I can deal with the zero degrees here.
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I'm not gonna say it's a summer day,
Speaker 1: but I've been through something worse. I like this quote,
Speaker 1: you must do what others do to achieve what others won't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you have to be able to put in a little
Speaker 1: bit more work or way more work than other people
Speaker 1: if you want to get that result. This has been
Speaker 1: another ice cold fact from me ice Tea. Listening again
Speaker 1: tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your ass till
Speaker 1: then stay safe, stay smart. It's stay knowing that when
Speaker 1: you find yourself up against it, nine times out of
Speaker 1: ten will emerge a better person because of it. Icy
