my message is when you are out
there making a difference in the lives
of others you make a difference in
your own."
For Morrison having positive
change in one's life is a personal issue
because he said he grew up in a
somewhat poor lifestyle and he
always wanted to break free from that
and make lots of money. However,
somewhere along the way making
money wasn't something which was
making him happy and he decided
to give it all up and work in charity.
Morrison said it's the best thing he
could have done with his life.
"My goal in life as a young person
was to get off the farm and make a
fortune because I didn't want to live
in poverty my whole life," said Mor-
rison. "I realized there are sacrifices
to be made when you take that path
and start to build businesses. On the
outside looking in I looked success-
ful, but 1 was miserable. In 2001, I felt
the businesses were starting to own
me and !wasn't having fun. I sold the
businesses and made some real
changes and it led me to the wonder-
ful life I lead today."
Ultimately Morrison just wanted
to reaffirm his message of leading
a good life to the Kairshea group
and give them a few laughs along.

like this is something that drives
and keeps himself motivated on
his travels north and south of the
border.
"Something tells me that this
group here (Kairshea WI) has
already got the message because of
their community involvement,"
said Morrison. I'm just going to
have a lot of fun with the group
because of the humour 1 bring to
the table. Groups like this are
always great to speak to."
