WEBVTT - Split Decision

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:07.680
<v Speaker 1>up to Sizes? 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've found inspiring and helped me through the game

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:21.640
<v Speaker 1>of life. Today's quote comes from Perry Moore, a best

0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:26.240
<v Speaker 1>selling author, film producer, screenwriter and director. And this quote

0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:28.840
<v Speaker 1>is special to me because of the capsules a moment

0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:31.720
<v Speaker 1>in time that changed my life, and when I write

0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:34.559
<v Speaker 1>about in my book Split Decision, which you can get

0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:38.880
<v Speaker 1>on paperback right now, the quote goes like this, once

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:41.400
<v Speaker 1>in a while, life gives you a chance to measure

0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:44.960
<v Speaker 1>your worth. Sometimes you're called upon to make a split

0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:49.080
<v Speaker 1>decision to do the right thing, defining which way your

0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:52.960
<v Speaker 1>life will go. These are the choices that make you

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:57.920
<v Speaker 1>who you are. In my book Split Decision, I speak

0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:00.360
<v Speaker 1>on how there's a point in time where I made

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:04.319
<v Speaker 1>a decision to basically stop breaking the law. I was

0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:06.560
<v Speaker 1>in the streets, I was in trouble, I was doing

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of how we say, criminal acts, and when

0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:13.480
<v Speaker 1>I got the opportunity to be a rapper, I stopped everything.

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I cut everything cold turkey, and I had a friend

0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 1>that was with me wanting to be a rapper too,

0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.600
<v Speaker 1>but he continued. He was trying to just get enough

0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 1>money before he could stop, and continuing resulted in him

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.960
<v Speaker 1>getting a life sentence in prison, he had a twenty

0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:34.880
<v Speaker 1>five to life commuted to it thirty five a life,

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 1>which he did twenty six years on and when he

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:40.760
<v Speaker 1>got out, we wrote a book together about life choices.

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:44.479
<v Speaker 1>They say you make about thirty five hundred decisions a day.

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Technically the next word that comes out of your mouth

0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 1>is a decision. Any decision can change the entire trajectory

0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:58.600
<v Speaker 1>of your life, just one statement, one movement, one mistake.

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 1>They also say, you know life is inches and seconds.

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:06.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, an inch to the right, maybe that board

0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>would have hit you in the head when it fell.

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:11.079
<v Speaker 1>A second later, you wouldn't have been in that intersection

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:15.359
<v Speaker 1>when the car accident happened. So everything is very, very

0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 1>based on decisions, luck, and just how life actually moves.

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:24.080
<v Speaker 1>But we have to become much more conscious of some

0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 1>of the heavy decisions we have to make and realize

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:30.800
<v Speaker 1>that it can change the course of your life. And

0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 1>if you're out here with people that say, hey, I

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.680
<v Speaker 1>don't care, you know, let the chips fall where they may,

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 1>I would not advise you to hang around them too long.

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 1>You have to be around people who are very conscious

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.680
<v Speaker 1>of the decisions that they are making. We are all

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:47.560
<v Speaker 1>capable of making bad and terrible decisions, and sometimes you

0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.120
<v Speaker 1>just don't know. There's so many forks in the road.

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:55.520
<v Speaker 1>But sometimes something as simple as saying no when everyone

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 1>else said yes could save your life. Not getting the

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 1>car that night with your friend who he knows a

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:05.120
<v Speaker 1>little bit intoxicated, and you say whatever, you're in the accident,

0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 1>You say no, and you live. So start to take

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:15.280
<v Speaker 1>all your decisions more serious and realize that the simple

0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:18.800
<v Speaker 1>decision I made in my book changed the entire course

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.320
<v Speaker 1>of my life. And just as easy as he went

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:23.560
<v Speaker 1>to prison, I could have went to prison, and he

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 1>could have become the rap star or whatever. I'll read

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:30.280
<v Speaker 1>this quote one more time because it's very important. Once

0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 1>in a while, life gives you a chance to measure

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 1>your worth. Sometimes you're called upon to make a split

0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:40.560
<v Speaker 1>decision to do the right thing, defining the way your

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 1>life will go. These are the choices that make up

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:51.480
<v Speaker 1>who you are. This has been another ice Code fact

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:55.160
