Success has little to do with being clever or educated, and far more to your knowing where you are gonna and your determination to get there. You can always hire those that know what you don't know and have skills that you don't have, but they, In turn, will be serving you, Maybe you neJer med for the gig sliLLtiii; iiiGrize.

There's no magnc or secret formula for earning money, but there IS a unwersal law of cause and effect which dictates that our rewards m hfe wtll always match our service and this applies whether you are working for yourself or someone else, If you want more money you must C1nd ways of increasing your serv1ce. and the money will come as a natural result. If you can find within yourself that Cield in which you can brmg all your natural talents to bear, that will supply something that Nls a need, then abandon yourself to that work. You will have all the money you need for as long as you live a productive life, Money IS relative and exists 1n abundance. It is there for the earmng and will be naturally attracted to those who serve best.

If you need more money, look for the means of acquiring it within yourself What do you feel you would be really good at? Maybe you have been going along. acting like everyone else without thmkuig about what might be best for you, Of course. It goes without saytng that carrying out sugges- tmns are the hard part But, on the other hand, working without ,trme gwdelmes would be even more difneuit, The answer to the money you need, like all other answers, hes within yourself, and there It must be found. In Emerson's essay on wealth. he tells us "As long as your genius buys, the Investment Is safe, though you spend like a monarch." We have within ourselves the qualifications to earn the money we need. Our abilities are closely linked with our desires One person may desire very little and have no problem m earmng all that is necessary, Others may be constantly beset by persistent dreams of greatness, of wealth and all the things it will mean to them. If these are the dreams that come most often and naturally to them, this Is what It 18 meant for them to accomplish, and somewhere In their native talents they can rind the means of making those dreams come true, Emerson also wrote: "There is always a reason m a man, for his good or bad fortune, and so In makmg money " The problems assoinated with money far outrank all other domestic problems, so here are some suggestions that could help The experts tell us that of all the things people worry about, the number one worry In most homes IS about money, Husbands and wxves argue about money more than anything else, the shortage of lt, the unpaxd bills. Look within for answers to your money problems In the mid 1980s, GVTA mem- bers decided it would be ideal if the trail was extended to tie in with other longdistance trails, and began working it northward through Elora, Fergus, Belwood and eventually to Alton, where it From there, the trail expanded to Cambridge and Brantford, with people in those municipali- ties joining the association, and it eventually found its way through Caledonia, Cayuga, Dunnville and Rock Point Provincial Park on Lake Erie. "lt was only about 12 miles long, but it sort of got our feet wet in contacting landowners and dealing wits municipalities," Schneider says. "There are so many people involved in landow- nership - we still Find it mind boggling trying to find out who owns particular pieces of proper- ty, and how to access the person. and then make the pitch for a little right of way over their property." The association received its charter in 1973, making it eligi- ble for charitable donations, and the rirat section of trail was established the same year from Doon to Conestoga. "The thing is, if you're going to have greenbelts, people don't know they're there unless they can walk on them, see them and appreciate them," Schneider says. "So I put an ad in the paper, and made some phone calls to a local hiking club and some rseld naturalists - the type of people I felt would be interested. We had a little meeting at the Kitchener Public Library, and the upshot of it was that we decided we could band together and help establish a trail where these green avenues or corridors were." GVTA member Betty Schneid- er, who was at the time a provin- cial appointee to the Grand River Conservation Authority, was aware of that board's goal to preserve the valley lands as greenbelts. For close to 20 years. members of the Grand Valley mu Associ- ation have been establishing, maintaining and enjoying a trail which now spans more than 250 kilometres across southwestern Ontario. The GVTA was established in 1973 in Kitchener-Waterloo when several members of the Commun. ity came together with a common goal of making the river valley lands more accessible and appre- eiated by the general public. Many community organizations are considered to be "trail blar ers", but here's one that's taken the temp literally.

Because the GVTA has, in most cases, received permission from landowners to establish the trail through sections of private prop erty, GVTA members take their priviledge and responsibility very seriously.
