Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Welcome
everyone to Amy and TJ. It is Sunday, May twenty fifth,
and this is your Sunday Morning Run where we hopefully
get you a little inspired and ready to take on
the next work week, but also reflect back on the
week that was. And so we are bringing you DJ
(00:24):
all of the words of wisdom that we try to
end each morning run with a quote of the day
is what we call it.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Hopefully give you inspiration.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
I don't want to presume anything as anything.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
They want to hear our confidence. This is going to
give you inspiration, folks.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
This is going to change your life.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Okay, too much now.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
All right, too far?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Sorry, too much? Split the baby right there in the
middle somewhere as well we need to be. But yeah,
this has been fun actually because we enjoy our quotes
of the day. We enjoy quotes, but you can get
inspiration in just a sentence or two. Sometimes it is
always fun. So we have them every day. So we
got to go through for you on Sunday. And folks
have been listening.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Yes they have. You know, Sunday is a day we
talk about this a lot. Either you go to church,
maybe you take a hike, maybe you meditate, But it
is a day a lot of people choose for reflection
and for some sort of leaning on a higher power
of the universe or just maybe being introspective. So hopefully
taking all of the quotes of the day from the
week before, and we can kind of go into why
we chose them and what they meant to us, will
(01:25):
give you a source of inspiration. So we'll begin with
Monday and our quote of the day for Monday, and
the relationship and cry once. It's better than being with
them and crying daily.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
You can laugh about that and then sometimes it'll make
you cry about it because we've all been there in
a relationship with somebody one way or another. It could
be a friend, it could be a relative, but it's
often someone you're in a romantic relationship with and it's
hard to let go. It's hard to invest something for
so long in something or somebody and then think it ends.
(02:03):
But that's the point. You're not where you need to be.
We've all been there before. You go through a day
in day out and you're struggling. Maybe if you're not
crying daily, you're still in some way in some discomfort
or disorder or not where you need to be, So
end it. Cry hard and long one time, and then
(02:24):
you stop doing it repeated.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Can you just cry one time when you end a
relationship for me? I don't know that that's possible.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I get your point. I get your point. You can
probably understand why I would say, yeah, I feel time.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Actually, it was a little scary for me to think
about that we could be over and you could just
take one long day and cry your eyes out and
woke up. Okay, fine, an hour, forty five minutes, fifteen minutes,
But that you could just cry once over me and
the next day you're like, and we begin.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
A new It's but I'm not crying daily with you.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
That's the difference. Okay, that's as you were looking for. Okay,
I didn't know you.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Were fishing, looking for affirmation. I'm so happy you picked
up what I was putting there.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I didn't. It took me a second. But that's the key.
I am not in a position in a relationship where
I feel like I'm down or sad or crying daily,
So this doesn't apply. But it's kind of funny but
also serious at the same time, because it's that's real.
It's a good lesson to listen to.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Look, we've both been there, and I think most people,
if they think about it, had been there, and a
lot of you listening might be there now. And trust me,
we know what that feels like. And it is so hard.
They say, rip the band aid off. You know, there's
all sorts of euphemisms for what you should do, just
get all the pain out at once instead of dragging
it out for years and years and years. But I
(03:46):
get it. You look back and you think, I thought
so hard, I tried so hard. I have to keep trying.
I have to keep fighting. But at a certain point
you have to take an assessment and ask, am I
crying every day? Is this more miserable than it is not?
And I always found when you make the decision to
end the relationship, to cry once, right, to get it
all out. When you feel relief, or if there's a
(04:09):
sense that you would be relieved, that's a big eye opener, right,
I mean versus like depression or fear or but if
you actually think I would feel relief, that is a huge, huge,
huge nudge in the right direction.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
That folks listen't like I thought This was Sunday Inspiration,
not a relationship podcast.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Well, you know, so much of how you feel is
about this quality of your relationship.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Of course, but that was the Monday quote of the Day,
which has now spawned our relationship podcast episode that we're
doing right now. Well, God got more.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
But I just want a little note for the listener.
What TJ is trying to do is say, hurry up, Robes.
This is just Monday. We have to get through the
rest of the week. So that is true. So a lot. Well,
I know, I know your gentle nudges. Here is the
quote for Monday once again, for you end the relationship
and cry once. It's better than being with them and
crying daily.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
The one on Tuesday we had. I think it's kind
of a it's kind of a spin on. There are
different variations of this. You hear this sentiment in several places,
but this was our Tuesday quote of the day.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
If you cannot do great things, do small things in
a great way. I loved this quote. It is from
Napoleon Hill. You may not know his name, but there's
a good reason why. He was a prominent author of
self help books in the nineteen thirties. However, I did
say you can still find several of his books out there.
(05:31):
He's still relevant. But it is such a good way
to put it, because sometimes things are so overwhelming and
you think I can't do this, I'll never be able
to get there or achieve or accomplish that. But if
you actually just do whatever you're doing with one hundred
percent or one hundred and ten percent, that's kind of awesome.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
You know, you always take note. I think I say
we just in general people. How mn't you ever noticed
you out somewhere and you see someone in a role
doing something that seemingly mundane or seemingly insignificant job and
they are putting their all into it, they're happy about it.
It could be someone just dumping the trash in your
(06:08):
office and they're doing it and they're just taking such
pride in their work. I always admire and take time
with those folks because they're doing the Lord's work to
a certain degree. If you will a job sometimes that
maybe somebody else doesn't want to do, maybe not a
high paying job, maybe someone at the grocery store. But
when someone takes pride and everything they do, you take
(06:30):
notice of it. So please, folks, somebody's always watching you
whatever you do, and if you are not doing great
things with the small tasks you're given, nobody's gonna ever
trust you with the big ones.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah, So it reminds me a little bit of another
quote I love. The measure of a man is what
he does when no one is looking. And I think
it also feeds into your own personal confidence. It's not
what we look like that our confidence should derive from,
or what our status is, but actually how we treat
people and how we treat ourselves. And so I just
think that plays into all of this. And I love
(07:05):
that every single person can take this quote and apply
it and you'll be a better person and people around
you will be the better for it.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Isn't that great this moment, whatever you're doing, if you
just decide to do it in a great way, How
it would change your attitude, How it change the outcome.
You could be making breakfast right now and decide, you know,
I'm gonna nail this today.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I'm gonna put a little you know, little crim fresh. Yes,
I'm gonna sprinkle some chives on top, because it's all
about there. No, It's true though, And so I love
this because for me. This is about empowerment. Here is
your Tuesday quote of the day. If you cannot do
great things, do small things in a great way.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
The next one we had on Wednesday was a It
was a winner when I put it on my dressing
room door at Good Morning America, but it caused people
to initially react negatively and then they kind of understood
what I was talking about. But this was a This
was a good conversation starter at work.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
It certainly was. Here is the quote. We may not
seem to have it all together, but together we have
it all.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Doesn't that make sense?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
It absolutely does. But I tease you about this on
Morning Run because you are not necessarily someone I would
describe as a cheerleader, and this kind of seems like
a cheerleader quote. And so it was always funny to
me that this came from me your files, because this
does not sound like something you would ever say out loud.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
It seems you know what I wouldn't you. That's true. Okay,
you know me, Okay, you know me well. But it
makes so much and it was. I don't know if
I would have liked it as much had I not
worked where we were working, which is good Morning America.
How any newsroom you've ever been in is chaos. And
if you walk in there as an outsider and don't
know the environment, you would never believe that these people
(09:00):
are working together to get something accomplished that's going to
come out on TV looking good.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
People are cursing at each other, they're running down the halls,
they're stress. Some people might even be crying at a
certain point.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Oh yeah, we've seen that.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
There's yelling, there's crying, there's cursing. That is the truth.
That is what's going on almost every day in a
morning show.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Sleep deprived, yeah, relationships not going well at home too much.
All this stuff is happening. So take all that chaos
into this quote now, And that's actually why I liked it,
because you look in that environment. We do not seem
to have it all together. Everybody looks a mess, everybody's
got personal prop all this stuff. We don't have it
(09:41):
all together. But you put us all together, and we
have it all. We have everything we need to be
successful once you put the group together. So just another
example of we're better as a group than you're ever
going to be as an individual.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
And that quote sums up why I actually walked into
my first newsroom and knew I was at home and
exactly where I was supposed to be because I also
was a theater geek before, and I used to love
that part of it that, yes, you all had a
roll and everybody had to do it well, but if
we did not count on each other and support one another,
it was all going to go to shit. Like you
just you have to be able to rely on one
(10:16):
another to have this amazing product in the end, and
that's a cool thing. It creates a bond, and it
creates an external family. I love the concept.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I'm glad to explain because when you said we just
described this chaotic scene, you said you walked into and said, oh,
I found my.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Tribe because all of us, individually, we all need one
another to make it a whole part. And I just
I love the idea of that that you have to
you belong you belong to you like teams I do,
like teams I do. And this is a this is
a team mantra. So yeah, if you're having some good
workplace trouble with your team, this is a good quote
(10:49):
to put up on the wall.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
You say team. If you were a professional athlete. What
do you think your sport would be?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Hmmm, I don't know, because I was a gymnast and
that is an individual sport, although the team all around
is important. But why are you asking me that?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Because the idea of team I always My favorite sport
is basketball was the thing I was best at and
just love. If I wanted to be an a pression athlete,
I would have said a basketball player. But as I
got older, tennis and golf.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Oh that's funny, tennis and golf.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Because of the individual I don't have to depend on anybody.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Else because you've been burned.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
That's why I don't I'm in that wild.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
You've been burned by teams, and so now you're like,
I mean, hopefully you're okay with a duo, but as
long as you have a duo, that's a little that's
a little bit less complicated.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
You know, it might even be golf. No, no, tennis,
I mean, because in golf I have to have a caddy.
I don't you want to talk to him? Oh my god,
that's your Wednesday quote. Folks. We may not seem to
have it all together, but together we have it all,
which then takes us into Thursday one robes that you
plucked out. That is just perfect. We should use it
(11:59):
once a week.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
It's so true because this is a daily mantra that
maybe I should even just embed in my mind because
how often times we just get frustrated by everything. So
here is your Thursday quote of the day. If you
don't like something, change it. If you can't change it,
change your attitude. That is from Maya Angelou, who of
course has so many incredible wise quotes that I love
(12:24):
to refer to, but this one. From the weather to
the traffic to the partner you have to work with
at work. You know, like, if you can change it, great,
but think about it. If you cannot change it, change
your attitude, accept it.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
I love this is There's so many ways you can
put this in, so many quotes about it, and not
like you mentioned this week, even I have surrender on
my arm because that's really what it's about. We are
looking at terrible weather. I think you've probably noticed this
in me over the past several years, but I have
put this into practice when things go to app salute hell,
(13:01):
I'm chilling. I sometimes mostly wait.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
There was a motorcycle issue a couple of weeks ago.
That sent you and then you pulled yourself back up,
and I have to say you recovered.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Here you go. You know you complimented.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Me, you did on that you did because you could
have taken it to a whole other level.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
And what I ultimately say that I can do about it.
The situation is going to be the exact same, no
matter if I'm sitting here smiling or sitting here fuming.
So choose one. I love that that is so yes
that that could be a quote.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
We could quote you with what you just said. That
could be nothing's going to change. I could be sitting
here smiling, or I could be sitting here fuming. It's
not going to change anything. That is actually a really
really good quote.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Yeah, move over, Maya.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
All right, So here is your Thursday quote of the day,
one more time for you. If you don't like something,
change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
And then that's takes us till Friday. You were, man,
you were digging deep into the bag last week with
some of these quotes, and some you got them from folks.
They're old school, if you no excuse me, they are
old quotes, not old school they're just ancient, actually ancient
that apply today. If you told me someone walking down
the street told you this, I would Okay, yeah, it
(14:20):
makes sense.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I think every week I'm going to look for one
of these ancient quotes because it is such a reminder
that nothing changes, that we still haven't learned, that we're
still having to use the same wisdom and the same
reminders to live better, even from like ancestors or like
from like literally before Christ. I think we had one
last week that was before Christ. This one comes to
(14:42):
us from the seventeen hundreds in France. Okay, here is
the quote of the day that I'm considering getting tattooed.
The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.
That is my quote that is speaking to me. I
think once you've gone through certain shit in your life
(15:03):
and everybody does whatever it is, you start realizing, why
am I not enjoying the time I have?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
That is? I love it. I mean the tattoo might
be a little much for me, but still to your point,
you cannot come up with a better way to explain
to someone in passing how they should be living their lives.
That's just wonderful. That's absolutely wonderful.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah, the most wasted of all days is one without laughter.
This came to us from Nicholas Chamfort. I don't know
how to say French names, but I think I'm getting close.
Nicholas Chamfort. He's a French writer. As I mentioned, he
lived in the seventeen hundreds. But get this, I love
this little fun nugget. He was the secretary to Louis
the sixteenth Sister, so here he was in the French
(15:52):
aristocracy in the seventeen hundreds, and who knows what life
was like back then and how he was living his life.
It seems like he was better off than most. But
I love that he realized, with all the work that's
to be done and everything that's happening in the world,
if you can just remember to enjoy your time.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Everybody, ask yourself. You're you're listening right now. Have you
laughed today?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
You just barey laughed here on the podcast Simmons.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
I don't laugh immediately when I wake up, because you
don't wake up until thirty minutes later, and then the laughter.
But it's one of those things. I I it was
just yesterday I was annoyed at you. Oh you didn't
tell playfully, okay, playfully because I looked at the clock
and it was I think five or something in the afternoon,
(16:42):
early evening, and I said, we have not kissed today, yep,
And like, what is where? How do we get so
caught up, so busy? What is going on in the
world that you don't stop? And we were together all day,
We weren't.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Apart, were honestly, we were just together all day. We
were never more than three feet from another day. That
is actually true.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
So it's one of those things that you stop and
don't get so busy that you forget caught up. And
what that you forget to laugh or do the simple
things or the things that make you happiest. So great
quote again from your guy, Nicholas Champour, the French writer,
The most wasted of all days is one without laugh.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
And with that everyone, we hope you take all of
those amazing quotes to heart and have a wonderful start
to your new week.
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Welcome
everyone to Amy and TJ. It is Sunday, May twenty fifth,
and this is your Sunday Morning Run where we hopefully
get you a little inspired and ready to take on
the next work week, but also reflect back on the
week that was. And so we are bringing you DJ
(00:24):
all of the words of wisdom that we try to
end each morning run with a quote of the day
is what we call it.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Hopefully give you inspiration.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
I don't want to presume anything as anything.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
They want to hear our confidence. This is going to
give you inspiration, folks.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
This is going to change your life.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Okay, too much now.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
All right, too far?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Sorry, too much? Split the baby right there in the
middle somewhere as well we need to be. But yeah,
this has been fun actually because we enjoy our quotes
of the day. We enjoy quotes, but you can get
inspiration in just a sentence or two. Sometimes it is
always fun. So we have them every day. So we
got to go through for you on Sunday. And folks
have been listening.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Yes they have. You know, Sunday is a day we
talk about this a lot. Either you go to church,
maybe you take a hike, maybe you meditate, But it
is a day a lot of people choose for reflection
and for some sort of leaning on a higher power
of the universe or just maybe being introspective. So hopefully
taking all of the quotes of the day from the
week before, and we can kind of go into why
we chose them and what they meant to us, will
(01:25):
give you a source of inspiration. So we'll begin with
Monday and our quote of the day for Monday, and
the relationship and cry once. It's better than being with
them and crying daily.

when someone takes pride and everything they do, you take
(06:30):
notice of it. So please, folks, somebody's always watching you
whatever you do, and if you are not doing great
things with the small tasks you're given, nobody's gonna ever
trust you with the big ones.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah, So it reminds me a little bit of another
quote I love. The measure of a man is what
he does when no one is looking. And I think
it also feeds into your own personal confidence. It's not
what we look like that our confidence should derive from,
or what our status is, but actually how we treat
people and how we treat ourselves. And so I just
think that plays into all of this. And I love
(07:05):
that every single person can take this quote and apply
it and you'll be a better person and people around
you will be the better for it.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Isn't that great this moment, whatever you're doing, if you
just decide to do it in a great way, How
it would change your attitude, How it change the outcome.
You could be making breakfast right now and decide, you know,
I'm gonna nail this today.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I'm gonna put a little you know, little crim fresh. Yes,
I'm gonna sprinkle some chives on top, because it's all
about there. No, It's true though, And so I love
this because for me. This is about empowerment. Here is
your Tuesday quote of the day. If you cannot do
great things, do small things in a great way.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
The next one we had on Wednesday was a It
was a winner when I put it on my dressing
room door at Good Morning America, but it caused people
to initially react negatively and then they kind of understood
what I was talking about. But this was a This
was a good conversation starter at work.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
It certainly was. Here is the quote. We may not
seem to have it all together, but together we have
it all.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Doesn't that make sense?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
It absolutely does. But I tease you about this on
Morning Run because you are not necessarily someone I would
describe as a cheerleader, and this kind of seems like
a cheerleader quote. And so it was always funny to
me that this came from me your files, because this
does not sound like something you would ever say out loud.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
It seems you know what I wouldn't you. That's true. Okay,
you know me, Okay, you know me well. But it
makes so much and it was. I don't know if
I would have liked it as much had I not
worked where we were working, which is good Morning America.
How any newsroom you've ever been in is chaos. And
if you walk in there as an outsider and don't
know the environment, you would never believe that these people
(09:00):
are working together to get something accomplished that's going to
come out on TV looking good.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
People are cursing at each other, they're running down the halls,
they're stress. Some people might even be crying at a
certain point.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Oh yeah, we've seen that.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
There's yelling, there's crying, there's cursing. That is the truth.
That is what's going on almost every day in a
morning show.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Sleep deprived, yeah, relationships not going well at home too much.
All this stuff is happening. So take all that chaos
into this quote now, And that's actually why I liked it,
because you look in that environment. We do not seem
to have it all together. Everybody looks a mess, everybody's
got personal prop all this stuff. We don't have it
(09:41):
all together. But you put us all together, and we
have it all. We have everything we need to be
successful once you put the group together. So just another
example of we're better as a group than you're ever
going to be as an individual.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
And that quote sums up why I actually walked into
my first newsroom and knew I was at home and
exactly where I was supposed to be because I also
was a theater geek before, and I used to love
that part of it that, yes, you all had a
roll and everybody had to do it well, but if
we did not count on each other and support one another,
it was all going to go to shit. Like you
just you have to be able to rely on one
(10:16):
another to have this amazing product in the end, and
that's a cool thing. It creates a bond, and it
creates an external family. I love the concept.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I'm glad to explain because when you said we just
described this chaotic scene, you said you walked into and said, oh,
I found my.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Tribe because all of us, individually, we all need one
another to make it a whole part. And I just
I love the idea of that that you have to
you belong you belong to you like teams I do,
like teams I do. And this is a this is
a team mantra. So yeah, if you're having some good
workplace trouble with your team, this is a good quote
(10:49):
to put up on the wall.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
You say team. If you were a professional athlete. What
do you think your sport would be?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Hmmm, I don't know, because I was a gymnast and
that is an individual sport, although the team all around
is important. But why are you asking me that?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Because the idea of team I always My favorite sport
is basketball was the thing I was best at and
just love. If I wanted to be an a pression athlete,
I would have said a basketball player. But as I
got older, tennis and golf.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Oh that's funny, tennis and golf.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Because of the individual I don't have to depend on anybody.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Else because you've been burned.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
That's why I don't I'm in that wild.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
You've been burned by teams, and so now you're like,
I mean, hopefully you're okay with a duo, but as
long as you have a duo, that's a little that's
a little bit less complicated.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
You know, it might even be golf. No, no, tennis,
I mean, because in golf I have to have a caddy.
I don't you want to talk to him? Oh my god,
that's your Wednesday quote. Folks. We may not seem to
have it all together, but together we have it all,
which then takes us into Thursday one robes that you
plucked out. That is just perfect. We should use it
(11:59):
once a week.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
It's so true because this is a daily mantra that
maybe I should even just embed in my mind because
how often times we just get frustrated by everything. So
here is your Thursday quote of the day. If you
don't like something, change it. If you can't change it,
change your attitude. That is from Maya Angelou, who of
course has so many incredible wise quotes that I love
(12:24):
to refer to, but this one. From the weather to
the traffic to the partner you have to work with
at work. You know, like, if you can change it, great,
but think about it. If you cannot change it, change
your attitude, accept it.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
I love this is There's so many ways you can
put this in, so many quotes about it, and not
like you mentioned this week, even I have surrender on
my arm because that's really what it's about. We are
looking at terrible weather. I think you've probably noticed this
in me over the past several years, but I have
put this into practice when things go to app salute hell,
(13:01):
I'm chilling. I sometimes mostly wait.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
There was a motorcycle issue a couple of weeks ago.
That sent you and then you pulled yourself back up,
and I have to say you recovered.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Here you go. You know you complimented.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Me, you did on that you did because you could
have taken it to a whole other level.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
And what I ultimately say that I can do about it.
The situation is going to be the exact same, no
matter if I'm sitting here smiling or sitting here fuming.
So choose one. I love that that is so yes
that that could be a quote.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
We could quote you with what you just said. That
could be nothing's going to change. I could be sitting
here smiling, or I could be sitting here fuming. It's
not going to change anything. That is actually a really
really good quote.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Yeah, move over, Maya.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
All right, So here is your Thursday quote of the day,
one more time for you. If you don't like something,
change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
And then that's takes us till Friday. You were, man,
you were digging deep into the bag last week with
some of these quotes, and some you got them from folks.
They're old school, if you no excuse me, they are
old quotes, not old school they're just ancient, actually ancient
that apply today. If you told me someone walking down
the street told you this, I would Okay, yeah, it
(14:20):
makes sense.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I think every week I'm going to look for one
of these ancient quotes because it is such a reminder
that nothing changes, that we still haven't learned, that we're
still having to use the same wisdom and the same
reminders to live better, even from like ancestors or like
from like literally before Christ. I think we had one
last week that was before Christ. This one comes to
(14:42):
us from the seventeen hundreds in France. Okay, here is
the quote of the day that I'm considering getting tattooed.
The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.
That is my quote that is speaking to me. I
think once you've gone through certain shit in your life
(15:03):
and everybody does whatever it is, you start realizing, why
am I not enjoying the time I have?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
That is? I love it. I mean the tattoo might
be a little much for me, but still to your point,
you cannot come up with a better way to explain
to someone in passing how they should be living their lives.
That's just wonderful. That's absolutely wonderful.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah, the most wasted of all days is one without laughter.
This came to us from Nicholas Chamfort. I don't know
how to say French names, but I think I'm getting close.
Nicholas Chamfort. He's a French writer. As I mentioned, he
lived in the seventeen hundreds. But get this, I love
this little fun nugget. He was the secretary to Louis
the sixteenth Sister, so here he was in the French
(15:52):
aristocracy in the seventeen hundreds, and who knows what life
was like back then and how he was living his life.
It seems like he was better off than most. But
I love that he realized, with all the work that's
to be done and everything that's happening in the world,
if you can just remember to enjoy your time.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Everybody, ask yourself. You're you're listening right now. Have you
laughed today?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
You just barey laughed here on the podcast Simmons.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
I don't laugh immediately when I wake up, because you
don't wake up until thirty minutes later, and then the laughter.
But it's one of those things. I I it was
just yesterday I was annoyed at you. Oh you didn't
tell playfully, okay, playfully because I looked at the clock
and it was I think five or something in the afternoon,
(16:42):
early evening, and I said, we have not kissed today, yep,
And like, what is where? How do we get so
caught up, so busy? What is going on in the
world that you don't stop? And we were together all day,
We weren't.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Apart, were honestly, we were just together all day. We
were never more than three feet from another day. That
is actually true.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
So it's one of those things that you stop and
don't get so busy that you forget caught up. And
what that you forget to laugh or do the simple
things or the things that make you happiest. So great
quote again from your guy, Nicholas Champour, the French writer,
The most wasted of all days is one without laugh.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
And with that everyone, we hope you take all of
those amazing quotes to heart and have a wonderful start
to your new week.
