The Ryan Davyes Effect

There is no recipe for success, only ingredients.

🌎 ✌🏻#DeclarePeace .............................................. With all the insanity on the loose these days, take a sec to reflect on the world you want to live in, the person you want to be, and the legacy you want to leave. Believe in it, and you'll have the power to make it real. That's it for now #peace ✌🏻 (at Playa Del Rey, California)

#People Think...

Go figure. Some #people actually think life is easier for some than others. In what context? The fact of the matter is we are all breathing the same air, and doing what we need to do to get by, or preferably ahead (if you are smart that is). I am not all that smart, because I care. In our new world it pays not to.

If you are financially driven, so be it. Don’t get me wrong it makes a lot of sense. Who doesn’t like the finer things in life? If you say you do not, then you’ve probably never tasted them. I have had my share, and as delicious as it may be, it is not real. I LOVE the taste of real. It satisfies my hunger, and drives me to be better. 

Despite what you think, I am no different then you. My life is not easy, and just so you know, I have sacrificed pieces of my heart, body and soul to acheive even the slightest bit of my dreams. I will continue sacrificing all that I have to give, until there is nothing left. In our new world, I picked quality over quantity...but then something strange happened. The quantity of quality surpassed that of my expectation. I have since abandoned all expectations, due to the fact expectations are the root of all dissapointment.

My final notes are simple. Take pride in your work, but don’t let work define you. Live in the moment, and appreciate what the good lord blessed you with. Don’t dwell on the past, because there is an entire future to look forward to. Please be yourself, and be proud of whatever that is. I am the rockstar of my world, and I am happy as hell to say that. Who is anyone to jude that?

We may have old souls, but our sound is brand new. There is no doubt it is rock & roll, but it is as fresh as it is relevant. The perspective of our song is novel, and it hits at the core. Y’all might think it is a grand illusion, but rock & roll is experiencing a renaissance. When and where you ask? Right here, right now I say.

Today's the day I release the music into the wild. Its not quite as dramatic as an IPO, but its not supposed to be. The truth is, there has been a small team of GREAT talent supporting this project from day one. Riley Flannagan, Sonny Kennelly and Drew Beck have put heart and soul into this record and I couldn't be more excited to share it with y'all. There are more people deserving of recognition and their time will come, but for now sit back, relax and rock & roll.

Listen as Led Zeppelin wishes the late Jimi Hendrix goodbye on September 19th, 1970. Rather then mourning the legend, Robert instead urges the crowd to celebrate the greatness that was.

We still miss you today old friend. But as you wished not-so-long ago, we continue to celebrate and not mourn while we learn to love without hate.

The moment my heart wants to give up, my soul steps up and refuses to give in.

Increments

For most, it takes a consistent string of efforts to see the results of change. This is precisely why making changes is so difficult. Getting the ball rolling is one thing, keeping it rolling is the next. Once you sustain the motion, good luck controlling its destination.

The thing is, you can plan and then you can execute. What you cannot do is control. Keeping control of yourself is a struggle, how can you possibly expect to control all that is around you? All you can do is take it step by step, and with each step examine what needs to be changed and what needs to be sustained.

The art of the increment is a deciding factor in our path. Remember this while finding what you are here for and discovering what you are here to do. Everyone that said it was possible whispered it was not going to be easy. Its better that way. Don't let the distractions of the outside world corrode the walls of your heart and soul. Live and let die, or die trying. If and when the time comes to say I told you so, simply smile and remember the times you wish you could. After all, its better when left up to the imagination.

Disinterested

When the world around you seems to spin on a different axis and all that you held dear begins to change. When you figure out that you know nothing, and lose interest in everything else that remains. When you decide to open your eyes, close your heart and turn off your mind. When you look forward to longing, quit what you never started and miss what you never had.

Now that you don't care about being careful break the trust you never trusted, and kill the part of you that has already died. If you don't disinterest will kill you first. 

[ryandavyeseffect]

Relevance

Relevance is all relative. It is a matter of one's interests, priorities, and focus. To you I am nobody, but to me I am everything. My love and my time are the most relevant pieces to my life. If you care to know what those are, then I am somehow relevant to you. 

Relevance breaks the breaking news and makes pop culture popular. Relevance fuels the social media firestorm that burn 24/7/365. Relevance feeds on itself. Once relevance has stalled, it is no longer relevant. It is just an existence that eventually fades to static ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Discover the difference between relevance and existence. Decide what is relevant to you. Collectively change what is relevant to us. Universally accept relevance for what it is...which is all relative.

A little bit of truth...

Simplicity

Simplicity is not simple. It is far easier to snowball your audience with excess and unnecessary clutter. On the contrary, it takes precision, patience and skill to narrow the scope and make  necessary sacrifices en route to simple. 

Simplicity is sleek, and timeless. It has spanned the ages and evolved with the world itself. Simplicity is evidence that we have changed. 

Strangely enough, simplicity can be over done. There is a rare type of beauty in the world that cannot be understated. It is not simple, it is overwhelming. This beauty is as unique as it is powerful. Simplicity takes no offense to this style, it desires it.

Simplicity is a minimalistic view of the grandest spectacular beauty this world has to offer. The two live in perfect harmony, providing inspiration with every moment. To think, we are the lucky ones fortunate enough to live in the center. Appreciate it while you still can.
