A Note From Brian___________________ Ben Franklin once said, “Motivation is what gets you started, habit keeps you going.” But for some reason, there are some individuals that are AFRAID
of either keeping a good habit, or quitting a bad one. Both afraid
of failure and afraid of success, either way, they stay motionless
on our planet like a hidden pond without one single ripple. . .
they just settle for mediocrity. You see, everyone makes mistakes. And some, are afraid of being
judged only by our mistakes, not our intentions or success. If this
was the case for all of us. . . WE ARE ALL SCHMUCKS. But, the good
news is, most of us are not judged by our mistakes, as the saying
goes, “It’s not how many times you fall, it’s
how many times you get back up.” For Tiger Woods, golfing is a full time job – just like both you and I have. If we do our best, we can also stand up and shout out with joy and fill our chest with pride, because we too can create ripples that affect someone somewhere. Maybe not with monetary value, but with the honor, integrity, respect, and kindness that we all shed on the world. If you do your job right, our children will fill our chests with Joy everyday of their lives because of the ripple that YOU created! Don’t be afraid of failure, don’t be afraid of success, and don’t be afraid of being judged by your mistakes!!! Kindness is a disease that can infect everyone. It doesn’t matter if you are rich, poor, young, or old, you too can change the world with small Random Acts of Kindness!!!

Janine Wallace – Huntington Beach, Ca. They were a little confused at first, they thought she worked for the garage. After a few attempts. She walked defeated to her car. I had just paid and yelled, "Do you need money?" She said, "yes, I will write you a check." I said, "here is a $20 just bring back the change and pay it forward. I do not want a check" I pulled to the side and waited for her to drive through. Then
I scrounged in my purse for a smile card. She ran over with a check
and said, "Thank you so much. Here." Quickly I pushed
the check back into her hand and then handed her the smile card.
"Just pay it forward and have a great day." She said,
" I love you, thank you so much."
