WEBVTT - Struggle Leads to Strength

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:07.640
<v Speaker 1>up to size Team? You're listening to? The Daily Game

0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:11.920
<v Speaker 1>a compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years

0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>that I found inspiring and helped me through the game

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:20.880
<v Speaker 1>of life. Today's quote comes from someone I call a

0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:25.079
<v Speaker 1>good friend, Henry Rollins, and I go way back. Many

0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 1>of you would never think that two people to look

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:29.960
<v Speaker 1>so different on the outside could actually have so much

0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:34.520
<v Speaker 1>in common, but we do. I mean, I met Henry

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:40.239
<v Speaker 1>Rollins for the first time on Lalapalooza, and you know,

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:42.520
<v Speaker 1>we were out there with them, and I would watch

0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Henry warm up off of Terror Dome. He would listen

0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 1>the Public Enemy and get hyped for his set, and

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:52.520
<v Speaker 1>he had this big tattoo on his back to say

0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:55.120
<v Speaker 1>seek and destroy. I'm like, who is this wild motherfucker

0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:59.320
<v Speaker 1>jumping around barefoot on stage. I also knew that he

0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:03.120
<v Speaker 1>had sunk with Black Flag and he was really the

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 1>epitome of hardcore lead singer. And we started to vibe

0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:12.679
<v Speaker 1>together out on that tour, and since then we've become

0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 1>very close friends because we think pretty much along the

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:22.800
<v Speaker 1>same lines. Henry's quote is strength is the product of struggle.

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 1>You must do what others don't to achieve what others won't.

0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 1>A lot of times, the strongest people you know have

0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 1>been through the hardest struggles you can't even imagine. They've

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 1>been through it and they've come out stronger than before.

0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:45.680
<v Speaker 1>People say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. It does,

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>but it also can leave a bruise. Going through hardship

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 1>can also damage you too. You have to be able

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>to pull out the other side of it for it

0:01:56.560 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 1>to make you stronger. Some things really damage people permanently.

0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 1>But when you find somebody who is able to make

0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:07.200
<v Speaker 1>it through that struggle and come out on the other side,

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:10.920
<v Speaker 1>now they're cut different. They've been through something that you haven't.

0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:15.280
<v Speaker 1>And that's where a lot of people earn their stripes

0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 1>and they get that level of intensity. A lot of

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:19.919
<v Speaker 1>times people will meet me and they be like, Wow,

0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:23.560
<v Speaker 1>you handle that so easily. You were able to go

0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:25.720
<v Speaker 1>through that, it didn't bother you. I'm like, well, you

0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:28.919
<v Speaker 1>have no idea what I've been through. This is light

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 1>shit compared to anything. It's kind of like when you're

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:35.240
<v Speaker 1>in the military, they train you to go through extreme

0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:40.640
<v Speaker 1>adversity so that when you come upon adversity, it doesn't

0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 1>seem that intense. So strength is a product of struggle.

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Going through a struggle will make you stronger, and it

0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 1>makes you ready to deal with it again because it's

0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 1>not the first time. If you want to see somebody

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.399
<v Speaker 1>that's not strong, find somebody that's never been through any

0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:01.840
<v Speaker 1>struggles the first little thing they lose their mind about.

0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:05.239
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I've been out in snow in New York

0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:09.919
<v Speaker 1>City and it's been you know, zero degrees. But when

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:11.880
<v Speaker 1>I was in the service, I was in Korea it

0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:15.400
<v Speaker 1>was thirty two below zero and we were sleeping in

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, tense. So by having that struggle ahead of me,

0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:26.679
<v Speaker 1>gone through that, I can deal with the zero degrees here.

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, well, I'm not gonna say it's a summer day,

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:33.000
<v Speaker 1>but I've been through something worse. I like this quote,

0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:37.440
<v Speaker 1>you must do what others do to achieve what others won't. Yeah,

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:39.000
<v Speaker 1>you have to be able to put in a little

0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 1>bit more work or way more work than other people

0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:49.880
<v Speaker 1>if you want to get that result. This has been

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>another ice cold fact from me ice Tea. Listening again

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.360
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your ass till

0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 1>then stay safe, stay smart. It's stay knowing that when

0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:03.280
<v Speaker 1>you find yourself up against it, nine times out of

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 1>ten will emerge a better person because of it. Icy
