1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. 2 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 2: Hey there, folks, it is Sunday, May the fourth be 3 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,959 Speaker 2: with you, and welcome to this special Sunday edition of 4 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:20,319 Speaker 2: Morning Run. Robes something I think you more so than me, 5 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 2: something about our Monday through Friday Morning Run. You've been 6 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 2: getting a lot of feedback on so we thought we 7 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 2: try something new here today. But it's our quote of 8 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 2: the day. We put one at the end of the 9 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 2: Morning Run every single day, and you have gotten some 10 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 2: really positive feedback about it. 11 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:34,959 Speaker 3: I have. 12 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 1: I have heard from so many of my friends and 13 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 1: family members who listen to Morning Run, and a lot 14 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 1: of times they look forward each and every day to 15 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 1: the end of Morning Run, which is when we do 16 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,239 Speaker 1: our quote of the day. And so when we have 17 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: ones that are personal or that somehow resonate with one 18 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: of them, I always hear back from them. So it's 19 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: always good to hear that. That is at least the 20 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: feedback I'm getting. One of the favorite arts of Morning 21 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: Run that we end on a positive note, We end 22 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: on something to think about. We end on something that 23 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: you can actually use to change perhaps the course of 24 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 1: your day. 25 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, and so it's something we keep files and files. 26 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 2: This is something we've done for years. Literally have stacks 27 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 2: and stacks of paper with quotes on them, and we 28 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 2: use them every morning. And look, everybody, you know, just 29 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 2: a little and some of them I have taken down 30 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 2: over the years. It doesn't have to be from some 31 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 2: famous person. Sometimes as a kid walking down the street 32 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 2: and I just hear something funny, you're cute that I 33 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 2: want to be reminded of that. Everybody can use I 34 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 2: get them from everywhere. So what we thought we'd do 35 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,639 Speaker 2: is here on Sunday instead of doing something faith based. 36 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 2: You know a lot of people are thinking about faith 37 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 2: and spending time with family, but everybody's looking for it. 38 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 2: A little inspiration on Sunday, right, a little recharge, I 39 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 2: do think. 40 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: So this is actually technically the first day of the week, right, 41 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: Sunday is still the end of the weekend, but the 42 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: start of a new week. And I do think that's 43 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: a moment to reflect, a moment to think about and be. Basically, 44 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: I feel like to be in intentional for the week 45 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: and sometimes to get a little motivation to say, how 46 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: do I want to start my week, how do I 47 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: want to live my life this week? 48 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 3: And how do I want to change and do better 49 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 3: and be better. 50 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: And I do think sometimes looking at quotes and getting 51 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 1: inspired by other people's experiences and other people's thoughts and 52 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: advice has a big impact on my day. So we 53 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: thought we would kind of reflect on our weekly quotes 54 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: of the day and go a little bit more in depth. 55 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,839 Speaker 2: Okay, so I'm laughing now, we're going to go through 56 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 2: the five we had for the week. We were going 57 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 2: to kind of recap, tell you how we landed on 58 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 2: them and what they actually mean to us. But I'm 59 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 2: laughing now. The five quotes for the past week for 60 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 2: us came from an NFL Hall of Famer and all 61 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 2: time rapping great, a pop superstar and author, and one 62 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: of the greatest artists of all time. So this is 63 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 2: a good group. 64 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: They These are people who have not only earned their wisdom, 65 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: but have clearly earned their respect over the centuries, even 66 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,839 Speaker 1: perhaps with people around the world. 67 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 2: All Right, so we'll start this was the quote on Monday. 68 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 2: We'll give it to you, and then we'll explain to 69 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 2: you exactly how we came upon this one. In Robes, 70 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 2: this was actually one that you plucked out specifically because 71 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 2: of something that was happening in the news. 72 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 3: That's right. 73 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: Keep going no matter what, you keep moving. I know 74 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,239 Speaker 1: you've heard this before, but life is not a sprint. 75 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: It's a marathon. We go through seasons, darkness and light, 76 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: darkness and light, and we are strengthened by adversity. 77 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 2: Now all of us could use that. You could read 78 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 2: it over and over. There's some point in your day 79 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 2: every single day if you look down, just read that, like, 80 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 2: all right, I can get through the next fifteen minutes. 81 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 3: At least I got this. 82 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 2: But this was plugged out because what was big in 83 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 2: the news all week happened to do with the NFL 84 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 2: draft and the biggest name in the draft, and most 85 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 2: talked about what Shadur Sanders. You probably know what he 86 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 2: went through, but this quote wrote because of that story 87 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 2: you hunting it down. 88 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: Yes, this is from his father, Dion Sanders, and I 89 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: actually thought that perhaps, you know, we could only hope 90 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: or whish the Dion or Shadur or someone who knows 91 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: them listens to Morning Run and Dion could actually take 92 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: solace in his own words. You know, sometimes I don't 93 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: know if you've ever seen something you've written in a 94 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: journal or something you wrote in your diary, and you 95 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: go back, you're like, wow, that was actually really wise 96 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: of me. 97 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 2: To inspire yourself. 98 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 3: Yes, I could lean on my own words. 99 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: So yes, my pipe dream was that maybe Dion could 100 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: lean on his own words. But it actually was cool 101 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: because it worked in the moment with what they were 102 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: going through as a family, but what so many of 103 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: us go through just even yes daily, I loved it. 104 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 1: I did. 105 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 2: And it's so simple. It's really so simple. But thank 106 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 2: you for that, Deon. That was actually our quote on Monday. 107 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 2: On Tuesday, you plucked this one out actually from an 108 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 2: artist you're not that familiar with. You know the name, 109 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 2: but you don't listen to a lot of the music. 110 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 2: That's correct. I do play it a lot and you're like, 111 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 2: who's this? I like this? But you plucked this out 112 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 2: for a very specific reason as well. 113 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: I did. So you were having a very tough twenty 114 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 1: four hours and it was little stuff that was just 115 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: building up. It's like, you know, you can have Honestly, 116 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: I think sometimes you can have big stuff come at 117 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: you and you you hunker down and you brace yourself 118 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: and you keep going through. But when you're in that 119 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: fight dealing with a bunch of big stuff, and then 120 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: some little stuff happens on top. It's the straw that 121 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: broke the camel's back. There's a reason why they say that. 122 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: It's just it's that one last little thing that just 123 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: is like enough, I can't take it that one more 124 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: negative thing can happen to me, And then it does. 125 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: And that's so no. You know, when you it can 126 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: either happen to you or if it happens to someone 127 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: you love, it affects everybody. And so I felt you're 128 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: the weight of what you were dealing with. And I 129 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: saw this line from Tupac and I just thought this 130 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: is perfect, and we played the song. 131 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 3: Here's the lyric though, even though you're fed up, you 132 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 3: gotta keep your head up. 133 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 2: It's simple Tyler song. You Ree said over and over 134 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 2: and over in the song. If the style a song 135 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 2: keep your head up. But it's an oldie, but a 136 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 2: great one from Tupac is an all time of his. 137 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: And I will say when you saw it, because sometimes 138 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: you don't read the quote of the day until we 139 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: get to it. And when you saw it, I saw 140 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: your face light up and you smiled. It. Really that 141 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: is kind of the one of the points we're trying 142 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: to make with quote. 143 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 3: Of the day, and even with this podcast, sometimes it. 144 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: Just takes one thought, one thought that shifts your thinking, 145 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you can be in this 146 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: negative pattern or this negative spiral and somebody or someone 147 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: or a quote will remind you that it's going to 148 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: be okay. And everyone gets there and goes there, but 149 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: you can get back up and you can make it 150 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 1: good again, and it's within your control. 151 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 3: And I love this lyric. 152 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 2: All right, well, we appreciate that that was on Tuesday 153 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 2: from Tupac. Even though you fed up, you got to 154 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 2: keep your head up. We move now to Wednesday. This 155 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 2: one is another song lyric, but this one was inspired 156 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 2: by frankly A hell of a week, a very special week, 157 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 2: a very fun week, and a very inspirational week for 158 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 2: us because of someone that's married near and dear toss 159 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 2: that we got to spend some time with Rachel Platten. 160 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: Yes, Rachel plattin so ten years ago maybe even yeah, 161 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: it was around ten years ago. 162 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 3: I got to meet Rachel. 163 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: I had just finished my battle with breast cancer and 164 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: I was lucky enough to have that battle coincide with 165 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: a song she was writing about her mental health battle, 166 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: but it ended up becoming an anthem for cancer patients 167 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: and cancer survivors around the world. 168 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 3: Fight Song. So she came on to Good Morning America 169 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 3: and I. 170 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: Met her there and she sang that song and tears 171 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: were streaming to my face. And over the years we've 172 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: found ourselves seated next to each other at different galas 173 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: or different dinners. And this girl is just the real deal. 174 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: She is somebody who expresses what she's been through and 175 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: despite all of her success, if you actually go in 176 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: and learn about her story, she spent thirteen years schlepping 177 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: a piano down so waystairs and bringing band equipment into 178 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: different dive bars along Bleaker Street and finally made her 179 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: way and it was that song, Fight Song that got 180 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: her to where she is today. And so yes, we 181 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: were honored to be able to go see her give 182 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: an amazing concert. It was an intimate dinner actually for 183 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: mental health awareness, butse she talks very openly about her 184 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: struggles with postpartum and mental health, and so this was 185 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: the lyric that we use for our quote of the 186 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: Day on Wednesday. 187 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 2: I'm bigger than the bad thoughts, I'm brighter than the 188 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 2: light they're trying to steal. I won't let the bad 189 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 2: thoughts take the wheel, and it is this is the song. 190 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 2: This is the breathe in, Breathe Out one. Right if 191 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 2: you hear the song, she actually tries to, I guess, 192 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 2: coach the listener through kind of a meditation, if you will, 193 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 2: and ask you to breathe in, breathe out. And the 194 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 2: name of the song is bad thoughts. But we got 195 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 2: to spend some time. We saw her performed twice this week, 196 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 2: actually a private dinner and then at a concert. So 197 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 2: we just adore her and this was very appropriate this week. 198 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 3: Didn't you think like you've had a panic attack? Right, 199 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 3: I don't know. You don't know. 200 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 2: I don't know what that Honestly, I don't think so 201 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 2: because I'm told I would know it. 202 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 3: Yes, but I have heard you. 203 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: I mean, you've definitely dealt with severe anxiety, and I 204 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: have heard you when you're in those stressful moments breathing. 205 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: You'll breathe in and you'll breathe out, and I can 206 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: hear you. And that is usually the advice for someone 207 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 1: who's going through I'm not saying you've had one, but 208 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: I have definitely had a few in my life and 209 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: When I hear that song, it is almost like coaching 210 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: somebody through a panic attack. But it's also just a 211 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: gorgeous song. So I'm bigger than the bad thoughts. I'm 212 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: brighter than the light they're trying to steal. I won't 213 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: let the bad thoughts take the wheel. 214 00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 2: We will turn to Thursdays quote. Now, this is one 215 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 2: I think came out of nowhere. This is one I 216 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 2: didn't see ahead of time. So okay, No, the Friday 217 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 2: one is the one that I was upset about because 218 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 2: I just wasn't in the movie for it. Okay, so 219 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 2: we'll stick with Thursday.

Ain't that the truth? 246 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 2: That's about perspective. You could be sitting in the most 247 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 2: wonderful place with the most wonderful people, doing the most 248 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 2: wonderful of things, and something in your head is bothering, 249 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 2: you are getting in your way, and you have everything 250 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 2: going for you, and you just decide to sometimes just 251 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 2: nitpick or find the negative and where you are, yes, 252 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 2: it can mess with you. But the reverse of that, 253 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:52,719 Speaker 2: when it's all going a ish, when it's all, yeah, 254 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 2: we're just trying to save our editor from having to 255 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 2: make an edit. But when it's all going to just 256 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 2: ish for you, or it seems like or should be right. 257 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 2: Everything around you is telling you you're in a bad spot, 258 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 2: and then you see people just smiling, laughing in their 259 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 2: way through it. I think that's the mind. 260 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, And you do get to decide that. 261 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: I think so often we give away our own power 262 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: and a reminder that we do actually get to decide 263 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,559 Speaker 1: how we're going to feel and how we're going to 264 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: react and how we're. 265 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 3: Going to be. 266 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 1: So I am in the middle of reading this book 267 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: called You Are or We Are Not Our Thoughts, and 268 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: I loved this because he made a comparison about you 269 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: could be sitting in a coffee shop. It could be 270 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: seventy five degrees and beautiful, and you're sipping your coffee, 271 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: and you could be in the middle of dealing with 272 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: like a threat from work, and your marriage is going 273 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: and you're just your anxiety is up and you're just 274 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: having the worst day ever. And the person next to 275 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: you in the same coffee shop, drinking the same coffee, 276 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: with the same weather and the same noise and the 277 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,199 Speaker 1: same ambiance could be having like the best day of 278 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 1: their life. The point being is it's what's in your head. 279 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: It's not the experience of where you are and what 280 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: you're witnessing because you're comfortable, You're drinking a warm drink, 281 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 1: the weather is beautiful, the birds are chirping. There's a 282 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: but you could have two completely different experiences sitting side 283 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 1: by side with one another based on what is in 284 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 1: your head and who is in control of what is 285 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: in your head. 286 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 2: You are Since this is Sunday, we're supposed to be inspirational. 287 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna fight you on this 288 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,319 Speaker 2: issue with if you think not, I don't know, but 289 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 2: what you said makes perfect. Everybody knows what you just 290 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 2: said is true. It's just it's a difficult to overcome sometime. 291 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 2: But the mind can do that for you. Takes a 292 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 2: little training, takes a little work, and ITSI takes a 293 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 2: little rest to be able to be up. 294 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 1: Like that all of the above, and it absolutely takes training, 295 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: and we all still fall back into that dark place. 296 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: But we'll give you the quote one last time just 297 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: for just for you to actually think and consider it. 298 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: The mind is its own place and in itself can 299 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: make a heaven of hell a hell of heaven. 300 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 2: And then we turn to the last one we had 301 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 2: for the week. On Friday. I'm a little annoyed now, Rose, 302 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 2: because I'm seeing in the note that the quote we 303 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 2: used was a paraphrase of the actual quote, and I'm 304 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 2: seeing the actual quote I like better than the one 305 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 2: we use. So yeah, this is a great way to 306 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 2: wrap up this inspirational podcast here is by taking issue 307 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 2: with you. 308 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: Yes, and so that you can leave this podcast annoyed 309 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: instead of inspired. 310 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 3: That's exactly what I was hoping would happen. 311 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: Okay, So the quote on Friday was if you can 312 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:34,359 Speaker 1: if you can't find inspiration today, be an inspiration. 313 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 3: And I actually chose this. 314 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: Quote because I got I was getting I was laughing 315 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: at myself. I was getting frustrated because I didn't feel inspired. 316 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: I couldn't find something that I thought spoke to me. 317 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: And then I saw this quote and I laughed out 318 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: loud because I thought, wow, here I am searching for something, 319 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: but I could actually just be something and. 320 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 2: I liked it. That is in line with the other 321 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 2: quotes I've heard before, and it makes sense. The hope, 322 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 2: the one I used plenty of times before was stop 323 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 2: waiting for somebody else to be the light in the room. 324 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 2: You be the light. So that's simple. Just be the light. 325 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 2: This is in line with that, and it makes sense 326 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 2: you called me again, man. I guess I had a 327 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 2: rough week of sleep. We partied for two nights, only 328 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 2: got about two and a half hours of sleep because 329 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 2: of Rachel Plattin. But I saw his own Friday and 330 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 2: I just roll my eyes, like, give me a break. 331 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 2: I did not want to hear this right now, but 332 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 2: now I see where you got it, and now I 333 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 2: like it better. 334 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 3: Okay. 335 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: So I actually didn't even do a deep dive when 336 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: I put it out there on Friday. 337 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 3: I just saw that it was unknown. 338 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: And when I knew we were doing this podcast about 339 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: doing a deeper dive into our quotes, I thought, let 340 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: me just see if I can find the source or 341 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: the origin of this quote. And sure enough, it's paraphrased 342 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: from Pablo Picasso. So yes, sometimes things get lost in translation, 343 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: and then sometimes things get changed and moved a little bit. 344 00:15:54,600 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: And while I obviously liked the outcome of our quote 345 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: of the day, here is what Pablo Picasso actually said 346 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: when translated. 347 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 2: More specifically, Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working. 348 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 2: That one is familiar to me. Inspiration exists, but it 349 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 2: has to find you working. I love that the idea 350 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 2: that you can't just sit on your butt and expect 351 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 2: it all to come to you. You got to be 352 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 2: out there grinding in some way. So I love love 353 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 2: that quote. I didn't know the two were connected or 354 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 2: paraphrase in some way, So I guess we get in 355 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 2: six quotes. 356 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, well you know what I think the idea obviously, 357 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: the idea is, yes, if you want to be inspired, 358 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: you know, work hard and things will happen and you'll 359 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: find inspiration and the creativity will come because you're busy 360 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: and you're doing things. And yes, be the creative person, 361 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: Be the person who inspires yourself. And I think all 362 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: of these quotes have a similar theme. 363 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 3: It's about recognizing in your own power. 364 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: It's about recognizing your own worth, and it's about recognizing 365 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: the impact that you can actually have, not just on 366 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,719 Speaker 1: other people, but on your self. 367 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 3: We are our own worst enemy, are we not. 368 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: We are personally the reasons why we suffer, and so 369 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: I just think it's a good There are so many 370 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: different ways to say it, and so many different ways 371 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: to resonate with people, but ultimately, it is about recognizing 372 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: your own power. 373 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 2: And folks, please let us know what you think this 374 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 2: is something we just wanted to try on a Sunday, 375 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 2: a little Sunday inspiration, possibly just a recap of the 376 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,479 Speaker 2: quotes of the week that many of you have commented on, 377 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 2: but we didn't. We don't get to delve into them 378 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 2: a whole lot on the Monday through Friday run, so 379 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 2: we thought we'd give these to you one more time, 380 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 2: so let us know what you think about it. I 381 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 2: hope you like it, but we give it a shot today. 382 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 2: We think you know what. 383 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: I think it's great and I would love to actually 384 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: if this works out going forward. How fun would it 385 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: be to create something on social media where we could 386 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: solicit quotes from you all, like we would love to 387 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 1: hear the things that motivate you. What do you say 388 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 1: to yourself if you have a mantra or a quote 389 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: you lean on during specific times. We're going to work 390 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: on that because I think that would actually be fun 391 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 1: to say the quote of the day comes from you know, 392 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: Sarah in Boston, and that would be really cool to 393 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: honestly even, yes, we can say where it's from, but 394 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: I love knowing that it meant something to each of 395 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: you personally. So maybe we will work on that, because 396 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 1: that would be a fun way to bring some of 397 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: you into our podcast and feel like you're inspiring us 398 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: as much as hopefully we can maybe every now and 399 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: then inspire you. 400 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,719 Speaker 2: All Right, folks, we appreciate you as always well listening. 401 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 2: We'll see you on the run tomorrow Monday,
