What If Money Didn't Matter, What Do You Desire?




I came across this video today which blew me away.  Not that we all haven't heard it before but this video truly hit home.  There was a time in my life when a co-worker asked the question:

"what if there was no such thing as age, if age didn't matter, would that change the way you think about your life or the decisions you make?"


From that moment on, it changed the way I viewed my life.  Watching this video did the same for me today as that question did back in 2004.

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a Cosmetologist.  Back when my oldest daughter was maybe 2 years old, I received a full grant to cosmetology school but decided it was best to go to work and help provide for our family.  I turned down the grant and walked away.  The desire is still there.

If I could choose something today it would be writing and inspiring others with my life experiences through this blog or however the opportunity presents itself.

If you choose what you desire and what you love, there is always a way to monetize it you just need to figure it out.

I urge everyone to watch this.  Take a step back and look at your life.  Make the changes you need to make to break the cycle.  Teach it to your children.  Pass this message along.

What if money didn't matter, what do YOU DESIRE?


What changes are you going to make to be truly happy in your future?  What do you love to do?

pieces of me

We are made up of so many different pieces.  Most times those around us see us for who we really are before we ever do.  Insecurity can weigh us down and hold us back.  Why is it that everyone else around us can see how strong, wonderful, and beautiful we are but we are the last to notice.

It's so easy to be swayed into being something we are not.  We fight so hard to become who we think we are or who we think we need to be.  How freeing it is when we finally realize that being ourselves, the good, bad, the ugly... all of it allows us to connect with others on a much deeper level.  When we come out from behind our masks and allow ourselves to be free in front of those who already see us for who we are....beauty and true happiness can surface.

Embrace the little pieces of yourself.  For these are what makes you special, unique, and what draws people to you.  Be relatable and share who you really are.  You'd be surprised at how many hearts you will touch.





On a Monday, I am waiting
Tuesday, I am fading
And by Wednesday, I can't sleep
Then the phone rings, I hear you
And the darkness is a clear view
Cuz you've come to rescue me

Fall... With you, I fall so fast
I can hardly catch my breath, I hope it lasts

[Chorus:]
Ohhhhh
It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you've known me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me

I am moody, messy
I get restless, and it's senseless
How you never seem to care
When I'm angry, you listen
When you're happy, it's a mission
And you wont stop 'til I'm thererics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/ashlee_simpson/pieces_of_me.html ]
Fall... Sometimes I fall so fast
Well, I hit that bottom
Crash, you're all I have

[Chorus:]
Ohhhhh
It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you known me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me

How do you know everything I'm about to say?
Am I that obvious?
And if it's written on my face...
I hope it never goes away... yeah

On a Monday, I am waiting
And by Tuesday, I am fading into your arms...
So I can breathe

[Chorus:]
Ohhhhh
It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you've know me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
Ohhhhh
I love how you can tell
Ohhhhh
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me...
