All we have to do is sit down for a couple hours a week and write a song or two. That simple task is all the world asks of me, so I do it. The other musicians who don&#8217;t are just lazy, because again, we aren&#8217;t being asked to tar rooftops or clean out dumpsters. We just have to write a couple songs!<\/p>\n<p>Think about your #1 goal for a minute. What action does that goal ask of you? Is it asking you to scrape sludge out of cesspools? I would hope not. Instead, you picked something you want for yourself. As such, the goal asks you to take a consistent but easy action.<\/p>\n<p>* A goal to write a book only asks for a page or two a day. It doesn&#8217;t demand you get a job making the pulp that produces paper<br \/>* A goal to lose weight only asks hour in the gym and light meals. You aren&#8217;t asked to dig the iron and melt the alloying elements to make the steel for the gym equipment.<br \/>* A goal for getting straight A&#8217;s in your classes only asks you to study for 2-3 hours a day. You aren&#8217;t asked to lay the bricks that make up the University classrooms.<\/p>\n<p>If you look a little deeper into what Adams said, it makes a strong implication for those who don&#8217;t take action. Yes, he calls them lazy. But there&#8217;s a deeper meaning. It implies that if you don&#8217;t take the simple action, then you cease to be. A song writer who doesn&#8217;t write songs ceases to be a song writer. An author who doesn&#8217;t write ceases to be an author.<\/p>\n<p><!-- technorati tags start --><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:right;font-size:10px;\">Technorati Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/attitude\" rel=\"tag\">attitude<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/Music\" rel=\"tag\">Music<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/puppy\" rel=\"tag\">puppy<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- technorati tags end --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This isn&#8217;t Bryan Adams the Canadian rocker but Ryan Adams another singer\/songwriter who has good points on keeping it simple.
