I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's Up in 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. Today's quote comes from Ralph Waldo Emerson, a philosopher who led the Transcendentalist movement. Believing people are their best when they are self reliant and independent.
Ralph said, do not go where the path may lead.
Go instead where there is no path, and leave a trail. This is one of my philosophies. Find a lane that's open. If everybody's running down this lane. Let's think we're talking about music. If all music sounds a certain way, don't be the people that make music that sounds just like theirs.
Pick another lane.
Now, the trick is that new lane that you pick may not be that popular at the moment, but if it becomes popular, you are the leader in that lane. So anytime I'm talking to people, I'm like, try to find something that hasn't been done, or if it has been done, you still have to shear from that path and make it better or make it different. But people that just follow other people's paths.
I don't know. That's an awful existence.
I mean I always say there can only be one original and everything else is a copy. So seek originality in your life. Go left like Cool Keith, one of my friends, always said, if you want to be original, look and see what everyone else is doing, and don't do that that's original. Find a lane that hasn't been traveled yet and leave your own path.
This is one of my keys to success.
You know, everybody knows I'm a rapper, but when I started my metal band body Count, there were very very few black metal bands and we've just won a Grammy for Best Metal Performance. We stayed on our lane for twenty five years now going on thirty years, and we are known as being a very unique band, and we stand in the lane that's all our own because we found a path and we made a trail.
I pay attention.
Stop following other people, have the courage to make your own trail.
Do not go where the path may lead.
Go instead where there is no path, and leave a trail that's dope. 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 real hustlers make their own past.
We don't follow trends. I Sees Daily Game.
