"People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are.  I don't believe in circumstances.  The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them!"

George Bernard Shaw

I have always said there are three types of people in this world:

• Those who make it happen....
• Those who let it happen...
• & Those who wake up one day and say, "What happened"

I believe God is looking for make it happen people.  Far too many of us are sitting on the bleachers of life telling others how to play the game and have never, nor will we ever get in the game.  Often times we do not even do what it takes to prepare to get in the game.  I have always believed...the will to win is not as important as the will to prepare to win. 

I have always been of the opinion and belief that I can speak life into my children.  I have four daughters - tenderly and lovingly referred to as my estrogen enhanced humans of the female gender tribe!  Since they were young I have chosen what to speak over them...one such life maxim that they have heard me say and could repeat it too you is, "The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary."   I have spoken into the fabric of my daughter's world and into their spirit the belief that if you want to be successful in this world you must work hard.  I don't want them to think that success is based on luck.  I believe luck follows hard work.

Being good at anything is like figure skating - the definition of being good at it is being able to make it look easy.  But it never is easy.  Ever!  That's what the those who are sitting in the grandstands hoping the "catch" a break think.  I think luck is far simpler...it is you taking personal responsibility to find that extra hour or two in the day that belongs to nobody else but you, and make it productive.  Put the hours in, do it for long enough, and magical, life-transforming things happen -- LUCK!
