Ice SE's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's Up A Size Team? You're listening to The Daily Game the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that I've found inspiring and helped me through the game of life. Okay, today's quote comes from Aristotle, an ancient Greek philosopher and scientist who is still considered to be one of the greatest thinkers when it came to politics, psychology, and ethics. So you know this is going to be
a good one. Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution. It represents the wise choice of many alternatives. Choice, not chances, determines your destiny. Aristotle was cold with that one, right. This quote feels especially timely now with social media influencers and wanna be tried to make it look like success comes easy. What did Aristotle say? It comes from sincere effort,
intelligent execution, and I like this part. It represents the wise choice of many alternatives, choice not chance, determines your destiny. I just did a book called Split Decision, and it breaks down the fact that your choices definitely control the trajectory of your life. And my book, I made the choice to stop breaking the law. My boy made the choice to try one more move, which got him landed in prison for thirty five to life. Those were choices
that weren't chances. Someone said that we make over three thousand decisions a day, A decision as simple as do I look to the left of the right. We continually make decisions. Do I get up right now and you know, go say I gotta go to the restroom. That's a decision. No, let me finish what I'm doing. Should I do this appointment today or cancel? What should I eat? We're making decisions continuously, and as Aristotle says, choices, not chances, determine
your destiny. So at some point you start to realize that I have to make my decisions count. I can't just make random decisions. I run into so many people to say, oh, just let it go, just let it happen, let the chips fall where they may fuck that. I'm very methodical, and I try to think out if I do this, this could happen, This could happen. You always hear the term it's not checkers, it's chess. Most people
to say that can't even play chess. But to think out what's going to happen after this, after that is a chance on controlling your destiny and directing your destiny, not just letting life happen and whatever happens happens. That's kind of like letting go of the steering wheel while you're driving. Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention. Wow, Aristotle was bad motherfucker
for a reason. I feel this quote and it helps me stay focused because I know that what I want in life is not gonna come by accident, is only gonna come by me making the right decisions and making those hard choices. And the same thing goes for you. This has been another ice cold fact from me, iced tea. Listening again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your ass till then, stay safe, stay smart, and stay knowing that achieving excellence isn't easy and it isn't an accident.
