1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's 2 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: up to Sizes? Team? You're listening to? The Daily Game 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: a compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: that I've found inspiring and helped me through the game 5 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 1: of life. Today's quote comes from Perry Moore, a best 6 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:26,240 Speaker 1: selling author, film producer, screenwriter and director. And this quote 7 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: is special to me because of the capsules a moment 8 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: in time that changed my life, and when I write 9 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 1: about in my book Split Decision, which you can get 10 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 1: on paperback right now, the quote goes like this, once 11 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: in a while, life gives you a chance to measure 12 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: your worth. Sometimes you're called upon to make a split 13 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: decision to do the right thing, defining which way your 14 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: life will go. These are the choices that make you 15 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: who you are. In my book Split Decision, I speak 16 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: on how there's a point in time where I made 17 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 1: a decision to basically stop breaking the law. I was 18 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: in the streets, I was in trouble, I was doing 19 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: a lot of how we say, criminal acts, and when 20 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: I got the opportunity to be a rapper, I stopped everything. 21 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: I cut everything cold turkey, and I had a friend 22 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: that was with me wanting to be a rapper too, 23 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: but he continued. He was trying to just get enough 24 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: money before he could stop, and continuing resulted in him 25 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: getting a life sentence in prison, he had a twenty 26 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: five to life commuted to it thirty five a life, 27 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: which he did twenty six years on and when he 28 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: got out, we wrote a book together about life choices. 29 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,479 Speaker 1: They say you make about thirty five hundred decisions a day. 30 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: Technically the next word that comes out of your mouth 31 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: is a decision. Any decision can change the entire trajectory 32 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: of your life, just one statement, one movement, one mistake. 33 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: They also say, you know life is inches and seconds. 34 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: You know, an inch to the right, maybe that board 35 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: would have hit you in the head when it fell. 36 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 1: A second later, you wouldn't have been in that intersection 37 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 1: when the car accident happened. So everything is very, very 38 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: based on decisions, luck, and just how life actually moves. 39 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: But we have to become much more conscious of some 40 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: of the heavy decisions we have to make and realize 41 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: that it can change the course of your life. And 42 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: if you're out here with people that say, hey, I 43 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: don't care, you know, let the chips fall where they may, 44 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: I would not advise you to hang around them too long. 45 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: You have to be around people who are very conscious 46 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: of the decisions that they are making. We are all 47 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: capable of making bad and terrible decisions, and sometimes you 48 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: just don't know. There's so many forks in the road. 49 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: But sometimes something as simple as saying no when everyone 50 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: else said yes could save your life. Not getting the 51 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: car that night with your friend who he knows a 52 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: little bit intoxicated, and you say whatever, you're in the accident, 53 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: You say no, and you live. So start to take 54 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: all your decisions more serious and realize that the simple 55 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 1: decision I made in my book changed the entire course 56 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: of my life. And just as easy as he went 57 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: to prison, I could have went to prison, and he 58 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: could have become the rap star or whatever. I'll read 59 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: this quote one more time because it's very important. Once 60 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: in a while, life gives you a chance to measure 61 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: your worth. Sometimes you're called upon to make a split 62 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: decision to do the right thing, defining the way your 63 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: life will go. These are the choices that make up 64 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: who you are. This has been another ice Code fact 65 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: from me Ice Tea.
