I He's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's Up is Ice Team? 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 quote is something I keep in mind to stay motivated, and it's coming from Axel Rose. We were fortunate as body count to go out on the road. We opened for Guns N' Roses and Metallica on one of their tours, and we got to play stadiums with him,
and Axel was cool as hell. Duff McKagan became extremely good friends with Ernie. Ernie was actually his best man at his wedding. And Axel's just like me. He's outspoken, he'll say some controversial stuff, but at the end of the day, he's a good dude and he's the epitome of a rock star. And I have nothing but good things to say about Axel ros He says we are made up of two contrasting ideals, love and fear. Pick one and live. When I think about what Axel is saying,
I know love is one fear. I never really looked at that as one of my primal ideals because I think it's more love and hate. But fear motivates a lot of people that hate, you know, so it might be deeper than that. But what he says is pick one and live. So the decision is, are you going to be a lover? Are you going to be someone who's out here trying to make things better, trying to
care about people, trying to be a good person. To me, love means goodness, you know, when you're in a happily loving relationship and when you look at your child and the way you love it as a pure form of just something that's beautiful, because it's that's true, that's real love. Fear is something that we're afraid of, and I guess we all have certain fears, even if it's just the fear of death. But this would be how you're gonna choose to live your life. Are you going to be
a loving person? Are you going to be afraid of things and afraid to do things and not take those chances. I think that's what he's getting at. And I don't know if we need to overcome love, but you have to overcome fear to make moves. There's no real safe moves. We used to say, raise the risk, raise the profit. But you have to step out of that comfort zone. You can't be afraid of everything. You can't be afraid
of love. That's why they call it fall. When you fall in love, it's kind of like you just, you know, release everything and take that risk and hand over the keys to somebody else and say, Okay, I'm about to fall in love. I'm gonna let you have my heart for a minute. See how this works out. You know, And it's risky, but that's that's what Axel says, and I agree with him. He said, you think about it, Love versus fear, both super strong elements of the primal
human condition. Pick your lane. Well, I think I picked love. Later on, early in my life, I was on the dark side, so I was pushing negativity. I thought, since life had been cold to me, I had to be negative. That's how you win. But I was wrong. Love is the answer, being a good person is the answer, and being fearless might become reckless. But fear is just there as a warning saying, okay, you're about to go into a dangerous place. Pay attention. But you can conquer fear too.
You just have to be very alert. Same way with love, you have to be very alert. 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 choose love. I Sees Daily gave us a production of iHeartRadio Final Level Entertainment and Audity, an Asylum entertainment company.
