"Do you feel luck Punk.....well do yah?"

So often people compliment other people's success as " You are so lucky!"

Well maybe it is luck, but I am sure if you sit down with successful people and ask them how they became so successful, they will happily share with you their:
-trials and tribulations
-hard work and preparations
-constant strive for perfection

So was it luck that a student has an "A" average?
Probably not without a lot of study time involved

So was it just luck that an entrepreneur consistently builds successful businesses? *with some failure of course*
Probably not without a lot of planning involved

So was it luck that a guy finds a date and eventually gets married?
Probably not after getting his nerves together to ask her out and speaking and looking presentable.

So was it luck that an athlete wins multiple championships or gold medals?
Probably not without consistent discipline to workout and train their butts off.

So my friend are you going to start your day hoping to get "Lucky" or are you going to determine your own fate and luck?

A quote from my mentor Jim and you can read his work here @

" Other than to learn from it, do not devote any time to worry about
the past........ you can't change what happened five minutes ago."

Each Choice, Each decision we make has a Ripple Effect

We make decisions everyday; sometimes with some thought and other times spontaneously

How would you make your decisions if you knew that it affects not only yourself but others around you?

This is not a reminder to tell you that your decisions you made were good or bad… this is simply to remind you to take some time and think things through before making them.

So next time you see rain drops

Think of them as “decisions and people” constantly interacting with each other

Then ask yourself…how will each decision I make affect me and everyone else around me?

This has to be one of the best emails I have received in a long time,  because when you sit and think about the meaning, it is oh so true....:-)

 *Law of the Garbage Truck*

........... One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking

space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches!

The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really  friendly.

So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!'

This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, *'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. " They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment.

As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally.

Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets."

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day.

Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so............

......... Love the people who treat you right and Pray for the ones who don't!  Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how

you take it!

regards  James.......... Have a garbage-free day!.....:-)

Canada's Prayer
By Chris Robertson


I’m dreaming of Canada tonight.
A country where mountains and hopes touch the sky
A country where an ocean of kindness fills all hearts
A country where ideas are a forest of wisdom
Oh God let me wake up in Canada!

I'm dreaming of Canada tonight.
A country where compassion is as tall as a douglas fir
A country where understanding is as deep as a great lake
A country where confidence grows like grain
Oh God let me wake up in Canada!

I’m dreaming of Canada tonight.
A country where happiness flows like the water of a river
A country where love is a breath of fresh air
A country where peace covers the land like snow
Oh God, please let me wake up in Canada, tonight...
