Quit is never win. Win is never quit. Quit is never win. Win is never quit. Quit is never win. Win is never quit.

That is the quote of the day

.

Welcome back to the quote of the day show. I'm your host Sean Crox and a Sean Crox and dot com. We are continuing to celebrate five million downloads with some of the best clips we've ever played in today.

You're going to hear one of the best stories one of the most inspirational stories you have ever heard from Lisa Nichols. Here's Lisa.

I want to share a story with you. In a former life, I was an athlete and I ran track and I swam competition. I'm going to tell this story really fast. I want to tell you this other really great. I want to have you go through this experience.

I swam the 50 yard dash of freestyle but I had one small problem. I would always say always I would always come in dead last. Say dead last.

No, say dead last like if I weren't around say dead last. That's how you said like she came in. Right. That's all you said. That's okay. Say it in my face.

I would always come in dead last. If they had six lanes, I come in six. They had eight lanes. I come in eight. They had ten lanes. I come in ten.

So this particular day I was tired. I was tired. I had 13 swim meets over the summer and I'd come in dead last on every single one. So I'd always get this honorable mention.

You know the athletes in here know about the honorable mention, right? It's that ribbon that says thank you for showing up. You know that one, right?

It's the one that says you didn't do deadly squat but we don't want you to leave your empty handed. Here you go y'all come back now here.

So I had a bunch of honorable mentions. And so the day before the swim meet, I go to my grandmother's house and say let's place on the plan. I said grandma I'm tired.

And some of you may be there. You know we're here being inspired but let's be honest. Let's be authentic inside the whole journey. The part that I love about my journey that I get to tell you the truth.

I'm not going to try to because I'm a secret lady. I'm not going to allow anybody to put me in a box to not be real. Yes, yes.

Like I'm a it's freedom and authenticity. And that day was a bad day. So I said grandma I'm tired. I'm tired and that this is you just raise your hand silent if you anything I'm saying can resonate with.

I said grandma I'm tired of putting my all in and feeling like I'm not getting anything back out. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I said grandma I'm tired of showing up and no one seems even acknowledged that I'm here. They just have expectations of me. I don't say there's no acknowledgement for just showing up.

I said grandma I'm tired of not hearing thank you. I might come in last but I gave him my best. That was the best I had.

I said grandma I quit. She said quit. I said quit ma'am. I'm not supposed to say it. She said come sit here. She said grandma wants to tell you a story. I said all she going to grandma nice me.

She said baby you might not notice because you only 15. She said but and I'm going to say this to you because whether you're in this space now or you may have been in this space or you may be on your way to the space just hold this is I love what malloc said he said is a malloc I want to pronounce correct malloc said you know you write things and then speaking to your future I just love that you know so just start to sing your pocket if it's not for you now might be for you.

She said baby because that's what she say. She said baby she said I don't know if you know but you were built from the best. She said so I need to remind you that quit is never when and when is never quit.
