I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's up to sight Tee? You're listening to the Daily Game, the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that I found inspiring and helped me through the game of life. Today's chapter of Daily Game. I'm gonna break down for you the costs of success. And I don't mean costing money out of your pocket. I mean what building success will take from you seven steps. We got
here first when it's late nights. Success is built during nine to five hours. Some nights you're gonna have to stay up. Some nights you're gonna have to push, you know, burn the midnight oil. It requires just working over time. Early mornings, man, I roll out of bed sometimes five in the morning, in the dark, in the snow. But that's what has to be done. I can't just tell people on Law and Order. I don't feel like getting up till twelve. People think you can, but you can't.
You have to be there on time. Very few friends. As you're older, your friend pool gets smaller and smaller. Something about being in high school and college makes you believe that you should have a lot of friends. That's just because you're forced to be around hundreds of people. When you finally get out of that, out of school and you can choose your friends, my dad said, if you can count your friends on your hand, you've got
more than most. Being misunderstood. Being misunderstood number four. It comes from being a creative thinker and thinking outside the box and looking for ideas and ways to advance yourself. Artists are always misunderstood, usually until the painting is complete. You know, I can look at things that are unfinished and I can tell you what they're going to be. Most people can't, so you will be misunderstood. Feeling overwhelmed, Okay,
that's just part of it. You're trying to go big, so a lot of times you're just doing so much. You just say, I don't know how I can do this, but somehow you do. Questioning your own sanity. Sometimes you're gonna think you are crazy because you're trying so hard and you're pushing so hard. You're gonna really say, wow, what I am doing is absolutely crazy, but I gotta do it. And seven, being your own cheerleader. You're gonna have to learn to be happy for yourself when you
get that victory. You have to be like, yeah, yeah, I'm gonna do it. I did it, and hip hip paray for me, motherfucker, because I pulled that off. So here's the cost of success. We missed late nights, early mornings, very few friends, being misunderstood, feeling overwhelmed, questioning your sanity, and being your own cheerleader. But guess what, it'll all be worth it. And any of you out there that are going through this journey probably are going through all
these levels at the same time. 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 success isn't guaranteed, but the sacrifices you make on the roads to success are unfortunately something you can count on.
