’If money was no object, what would you do to make yourself happy? Then why not work on those things on a smaller scale?

Fired up Fridays with Steve Ryan.  Podcast - Podcast Here


 Hey there, how are you?  Welcome to Fired up Friday!  Let’s start today’s blog with this powerful quote that I wrote.  ‘’If money was no object, what would you do to make yourself happy?  Then why not work on those things on a smaller scale?’’  This quote has had a powerful impact and response from people. 

 

Why is this quote so powerful?  I will explain why.  I understand that money is a resource and that it’s needed to a degree for certain things to happen.  However, the lack of money does not have to prevent you from working towards your goals and dreams.  This is often used as an excuse for people to not take action.  There are actionable steps that people can work on such as researching, networking, improving themselves and other similar things.  There are also platforms such as go fund me and we are in a world of technology.  The cost of doing certain things has gone down due to technology.  The opportunities are there to generate income even if it’s on a smaller scale.

 

What drives this quote home is the following.  If you have the mindset that you CAN do something and if you have the drive and passion to put consistent effort into it, it will lead you closer to success.  We can take small steps on a regular basis towards our goals.  The goals can be any goal that you set out for yourself to make yourself happy.  It’s not limited to financial goals; it can be personal goals as well. 

 

With technology today, there are many options of things that you can do inexpensively or with no cost at all to work towards your goal.  You can also network and research as well.  Although resources are needed at times to make things happen, that doesn’t have to stop you in your process of discovering what you want to do and to create a reasonable action plan to implement.

 

I challenge you today to think about what would make you happy if money was no object.  What is a goal or dream that you have that you would love to accomplish?  Take note of that. 

The next step after that after this to carve out non-negotiable time on a daily or weekly basis to work towards your goal happening.  This can include research, networking or any other practical steps towards working on your goal. 

This may lead you to discover something else that you want to do to perhaps generate some income while you’re working on a bigger goal if your goal requires finances.

The non-negotiable time is extremely important.  I practice non-negotiable time every day.  I carve out at least 1 to 2 hours every day to work on my vocals, piano, guitar and to brainstorm ideas for songs and books.  During this time, I don’t allow any distractions.  This is the process that I use to get a lot accomplished.

After that, I spend time on things based on what’s needed.  Some days some things require more time than other days. 

The biggest takeaway for you is the following.  Discover what will make you happy and work towards that with non-negotiable time.  You might be surprised at how much you get accomplished.

Goodbye My Past Love, Goodbye

Goodbye My Past Love, Goodbye

I realized this morning that I never said goodbye
Now that I have real love, I must try
For once upon a time, you were in my past
Whatever was fate’s reason, it did not last

You will always hold a special place in my heart
But right now, I’m working on a new romantic start
My current love right now, is something that’s true
A new commitment is growing and I finally have let go of you

I realized that I didn’t have full closure inside
That’s because I chose to ignore it and I was full of pride
I realized that when you don’t let your past go
Then eventually that past will start to show

And I feel that it’s time for me to make progress
It’s time for me to enjoy my current happiness
I did think about you today, but it was in a negative way
But I can’t entertain it because that’s cheating

Our paths in the past crossed more than one time
But you took it for granted and missed out on sunshine
And now that I have had a chance to move on
I am a better person today, I am really strong

You really had me wrapped around you
I said to myself, I will no longer be a fool
So now I must do what I need to do
And that is reach inside and let go of you

My love is growing with my new romance
I have to follow my heart and not blow this chance

Goodbye my past love, goodbye

Reconnecting to Your Energy

Reconnecting to Your Energy

It’s been a long time
Since I’ve heard your voice
You were on my mind
Reconnection was a possible choice

You contacted me out of the blue
It was sudden out of thin air
I don’t know what to think of you
Do I want to take it there?

We decided to meet up
To see how our energies would sync
I thought I was over you
But now all these feelings are coming over me

I don’t want to be stupid and rush into this
I don’t want to repeat our past
I want to get to know you like a first date
Maybe we can take a different path

I’m open to reconnecting
As long as the bad things don’t repeat
We both had some growing to do
Is this the right time for you and me?

You Revealed The Truth

You Revealed The Truth

You really hurt me last night
You made cry inside
I can’t believe what I’m seeing
Someone else was kissing you
It’s like my mind is deceiving
It’s leaving me so confused

I won’t put all the blame on you
I ignored what I felt, this isn’t new
I saw the signs all around me
My gut had a message to see
But my heart wouldn’t let me leave
And now it’s torn apart from me

It’s reality now that I see
There’s no us
There’s only you and then there’s me
I thought we loved one another
That fantasy isn’t true
Your lies was undercover
And now you revealed the truth

I must let you go
Although I love you so
Goodbye my love

Goodbye

This In-Between Game

This In-Between Game

One day I realized
What you mean to me
Though love is there inside
It don’t seem to be
When I get close to you
You take a step back or two
And when I’m ready to move on
You show me that you don’t want us done

I looked into your eyes
Trying to see what you see
I felt so blind
Because your heart don’t match our scene
You’re trying to make me feel like a fool
I’m not going to chase after you
Why do you wait until you I’m leaving?
That’s when you’re to make a move

I looked into your eyes
They made me realize
That time’s not on our side
You’re letting love pass us by
I believed in you and me
I thought our love could be
But it was just a dream
It was just a fantasy

This in between game
Is so over played
My heart just can’t take
Another disappointing ache

If we’re going to be
Then let us be
But if we’re not, then I’ll set us free

I’m done with this in-between game
