Who I am.

For those of you who know me hello! For those of you who didn’t know I existed until now…. Congratulations! My name is Steve…. Now you know my name!

Success is my drive and music is my passion… I am a goal oriented, on a mission, constantly striving, man, consistently seeking Life, my Oasis, and my God. A man that is not afraid to lay face down or cry out on his knees to the maker above. Or spend countless nights working on an investment property while everyone else enjoys a good time of chasing doodads and instant feel good luxuries, because I knows it’s what needs to be done. Does that make me perfect? No. I’m sure my list of shortcomings could be much longer than that of the Webster’s Dictionary, and I am no one to judge anyone else. But life is not about who we are not…. It’s not about the things you cannot do. Life is about who you are, the risks you are willing to take. You know when people look at me they see that I am a happily married man, with a beautiful wife, 2 dogs, a cat, and a bird. A man that loves to play music and can be the life of the party when I want to. They may also make judgments about me, my life, my actions saying “they would never follow the same path that I have. But what some people see as my “areas of lack” I see as some of my greatest advantages!

Have you ever noticed that most of the time we focus on things that really make no difference of who we are. Like when we get a haircut, or buy a new shirt or pair of shoes. We constantly focus on those things of the outside instead of what really matters. Do you think a new pair of cleats or a new glove is going to make you a better baseball player? Or is it the countless pitches, catches and missed balls during practice that make professional baseball players better? …you might just call them professional…

What really matters you ask? Well I believe who we are, is defined by who we tried to be yesterday. And so if today is tomorrows yesterday I am going to be someone more financially stable, spiritually sound and physically fit in the TODAY, of TOMORROW. If you read my ramblings at all, you will know that I am always striving to be better at all things, and am not afraid to do things people would call “risky” even if I have to do them by myself. As long as I know that I am on the next step in my path to get me where I need to go. If life were a trip and our goals and dreams were our destinations. Some people would choose to run or walk maybe hitchhike or drive to where they want to go. Some may just choose to set and talk about the places they will never go but would love to visit. Me on the other hand I want to fly to my goals and once I reach them look for more. If life is in the pursuit of happiness, doesn’t that mean that we are happy in the pursuit? So even though I may achieve a goal I have set out to conquer that doesn’t mean that my journey is over or my destination is reached. It just means that if I can accomplish that just wait and see what’s next!

Everything about me wants to give all that I can and be everything I am supposed to be in this life and know that the things I have dedicated myself to will not only give back to myself but also to the community and the world. It is my dream to be financially savvy to bring stability to my life and my families lives. To live above the norm not to be seen as a rich man with lots of money but a free man with wealth beyond money. Wealth in family, wealth in love, wealth in friendship, and the finances to provide a freedom to enjoy it all.

My methods may be considered insane, my goals may be looked upon as unrealistic, but talk to me in 5 years and we will see where you are and where I am.
