Creating Your Passion to Succeed

The first step in Deciding to Succeed is creating  your passion to succeed.    We all understand that to succeed your passion must always be high.  Intensity needs to soar over a long period, through the ups and downs of life and through the victories and defeats of your mission.   You will need to work very hard for a long time to succeed.  It will be tough hard work and you will need to dig deep inside yourself for strength.  This essay will examine a few ways of creating and  maintaining your passion for success.

Success Can Be Learned

I learned how to succeed through failure.  Just as a toddler takes his/her first steps and stumbles to the ground, through trial and error, the child finally accomplishes the triumphant task of learning to walk.  My first company Insta-Call failed.  Through a challenging process of enlightenment, I made the conscious decision to assess and evaluate the failure of my company.  In so doing, I learned that failure is not an accident. It is the outcome of a series of poor decisions and choices.  Becoming successful is the direct result of a series of conscious decisions.  One is far more likely to succeed when the desired goal and the decisions taken resonate with one’s value system. The significance of purpose is an integral part of the decision-making process toward success. [...]

Stand on Guard for Thee

This is a modified version of a speech I gave August 14 at the SSN  Boys and Girls Club charity golf tourney.

Tonight, I would  like to share my views as a former  business man and a former mayor of the capital city of Canada, on  Canada, Christianity  how they relate to our national anthem.    My unique prospective plus the benefit of having the last eighteen months to catch up on what is going on in our world has raised  a number of cultural challenges that we as Canadians do not fully appreciate and  even worse; we feel embarrassed to even talk about.

Restoring Love — A Joyful Event

I was asked this morning to sum up what the Glenn Beck “ Restoring Love “ event was all about and the answer was stunningly simple — A Sense of Community.   It was good not to feel alone in the concerns both Colleen and I had about politics, culture and the economy and it was so satisfying to share my prospectives with fellow travelers and be understood. There was joy in the eyes of so many people throughout the three day event of service and charity and hope was everywhere. [...]

The Blame Game!

Colleen and I are in Dallas for the “Restoring Love “ event hosted by Glenn Beck and we had the day to tour around the Dallas Fort Worth and we were very impressed with the positive upbeat attitude of the people who live here.  We went to a part of town called Grapevine; it wasn’t the 1800‘s main street that won us over but rather the people we met — they were happy, upbeat and full of life.  It was fun, but a little disconcerting too: we were not used to happy people!

Get Prepared for a Banking Crisis in Canada!

About a year ago I posted a blog suggesting in the gentlest terms that we should all have a little cash around in case of  trouble with the banking system.  The title was “Get Prepared! Something wicked this way comes”  I have reposted as a page for your convenience.

  • Today I  upgrade that warning from a “gentle suggestion” to an “urgent action request ” for my friends. [...]

Rumors of War III

The words from the Muslim Brotherhood are frightening  and they call for the death of western civilization.  Their words are clear straightforward and I believe them.  I think you should hear their words but be careful, since you could end up suffering from the hands of the main stream media (MSM).

The Titanic and Our Future

Over the last eighteen months since I have been out of office I have spent much of my waking hours trying to evaluate our economy and what that future looks like. [...]
