Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's
Speaker 1: up to Sizes? 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've found inspiring and helped me through the game
Speaker 1: of life. Today's quote comes from Perry Moore, a best
Speaker 1: selling author, film producer, screenwriter and director. And this quote
Speaker 1: is special to me because of the capsules a moment
Speaker 1: in time that changed my life, and when I write
Speaker 1: about in my book Split Decision, which you can get
Speaker 1: on paperback right now, the quote goes like this, once
Speaker 1: in a while, life gives you a chance to measure
Speaker 1: your worth. Sometimes you're called upon to make a split
Speaker 1: decision to do the right thing, defining which way your
Speaker 1: life will go. These are the choices that make you
Speaker 1: who you are. In my book Split Decision, I speak
Speaker 1: on how there's a point in time where I made
Speaker 1: a decision to basically stop breaking the law. I was
Speaker 1: in the streets, I was in trouble, I was doing
Speaker 1: a lot of how we say, criminal acts, and when
Speaker 1: I got the opportunity to be a rapper, I stopped everything.
Speaker 1: I cut everything cold turkey, and I had a friend
Speaker 1: that was with me wanting to be a rapper too,
Speaker 1: but he continued. He was trying to just get enough
Speaker 1: money before he could stop, and continuing resulted in him
Speaker 1: getting a life sentence in prison, he had a twenty
Speaker 1: five to life commuted to it thirty five a life,
Speaker 1: which he did twenty six years on and when he
Speaker 1: got out, we wrote a book together about life choices.
Speaker 1: They say you make about thirty five hundred decisions a day.
Speaker 1: Technically the next word that comes out of your mouth
Speaker 1: is a decision. Any decision can change the entire trajectory
Speaker 1: of your life, just one statement, one movement, one mistake.
Speaker 1: They also say, you know life is inches and seconds.
Speaker 1: You know, an inch to the right, maybe that board
Speaker 1: would have hit you in the head when it fell.
Speaker 1: A second later, you wouldn't have been in that intersection
Speaker 1: when the car accident happened. So everything is very, very
Speaker 1: based on decisions, luck, and just how life actually moves.
Speaker 1: But we have to become much more conscious of some
Speaker 1: of the heavy decisions we have to make and realize
Speaker 1: that it can change the course of your life. And
Speaker 1: if you're out here with people that say, hey, I
Speaker 1: don't care, you know, let the chips fall where they may,
Speaker 1: I would not advise you to hang around them too long.
Speaker 1: You have to be around people who are very conscious
Speaker 1: of the decisions that they are making. We are all
Speaker 1: capable of making bad and terrible decisions, and sometimes you
Speaker 1: just don't know. There's so many forks in the road.
Speaker 1: But sometimes something as simple as saying no when everyone
Speaker 1: else said yes could save your life. Not getting the
Speaker 1: car that night with your friend who he knows a
Speaker 1: little bit intoxicated, and you say whatever, you're in the accident,
Speaker 1: You say no, and you live. So start to take
Speaker 1: all your decisions more serious and realize that the simple
Speaker 1: decision I made in my book changed the entire course
Speaker 1: of my life. And just as easy as he went
Speaker 1: to prison, I could have went to prison, and he
Speaker 1: could have become the rap star or whatever. I'll read
Speaker 1: this quote one more time because it's very important. Once
Speaker 1: in a while, life gives you a chance to measure
Speaker 1: your worth. Sometimes you're called upon to make a split
Speaker 1: decision to do the right thing, defining the way your
Speaker 1: life will go. These are the choices that make up
Speaker 1: who you are. This has been another ice Code fact
Speaker 1: from me Ice Tea. Listening again tomorrow when I drop
Speaker 1: some wisdom on your ass. Till then, stay safe, stay smart,
Speaker 1: and stay known that one move can change the course
Speaker 1: of your entire life. I Sees Daily Game. It's a
