THE PROBLEMS OF LIFE…YOU HAVE TO BE ALIVE TO HAVE THEM
If problems are part of the price of being ALIVE… I will pay the bill. Do not waste the problem. Learn something before it leaves. #LifeLessons #Resilience #RichieSpeaks #PearlsForTheSoul
-
THE UNIVERSE KEEPS SCORE…MIND AND MINE YOUR OWN SELF
Do not waste your life keeping score on everybody else. Mind yourself. Mine yourself. There is enough work and treasure there to last a lifetime. #SelfAwareness #RichieSpeaks #PearlsForTheSoul

FIRST LOOK THRU THE WINDOW OF GRATITUDE
Looking through any window that is dirty robs you of the true picture. Gratitude is the best window cleaner

THE KEYS YOU ALREADY HOLD UNLOCKS ALL DOORS
God does not send us empty-handed. All we need is within He prepares us before He positions us. #Purpose #Wisdom #PearlsForTheSoul
-
WHEN YOU HOLD THINGS IN…IT’S NOT GOOD SPEAK UP AND BE RID OF IT!
Do not turn temporary pain… into permanent storage. Process it. Learn from it. Release what no longer needs to travel with you. #LetGo #SelfAwareness #RichieSpeaks #PearlsForTheSoul
-
CHALLENGE YOURSELF…TAKE THE LISTENING TEST
CHALLENGE YOURSELF: Pick one day and really LISTEN. Don’t interrupt. Don’t steal the story. Ask a question. Let people finish. Then see what you learn. #ListeningTest #Relationships #PearlsForTheSoul

TAKE THE “ARE YOU TOO SERIOUS?” TEST…UNLESS YOU’RE TOO SERIOUS TO DO SO. LOL
You do NOT have to look miserable… to prove you are responsible. Seriousness is a tool. Don’t turn it into your personality. LOL. #Humor #LifeLessons #RichieSpeaks #PearlsForTheSoul

REFUSE TO GO ALONG TO GET ALONG FOR PEACE OR APPROVAL
You went along to get along How did that work out?

PEOPLE WHO LICK THEIR FINGERS—THEN PASS IT ON TO YOU
You licked your finger, separated my receipt and handed the moisture to me too? No thank you. I only wanted the receipt! Use the sponge. Use the wax. Use a fingertip moistener. Just leave your tongue out of the transaction. https://pearlsforthesoul.com #PearlsForTheSoul #PersonalHygiene #CommonCourtesy #RichieSpeaks

THE LIGHT IS ALWAYS WITH US… ITS DARKNESS THAT COMES AND GOES
Light never struggles to be light. It simply appears. #PearlsForTheSoul #GodIAM #Light

MAYBE IT’S THE MEDICINE TALKING—NOT THE PERSON
An unexpected change in someone’s behavior may not reveal their character. It may be a signal that something—including a medicine—needs professional attention. OBSERVE. RECORD. REPORT. Do not diagnose or change the medicine yourself. https://pearlsforthesoul.com #PearlsForTheSoul #MedicationAwareness #Compassion #PatientSafety #RichieSpeaks

THE DAY YOU STOPPED WAITING AND GRABBED LIFE
The future is not waiting for you. It is waiting to be created by you. #PearlsForTheSoul #Growth #SecondChance
-
THE WORLD NEEDS MEN AND WOMEN WHO REACH BEYOND THEIR GRASP
The greatest legacy is not what you leave behind. It is who you leave behind. #PearlsForTheSoul #Leadership #Legacy

GIANT SEA TURTLES HAVE START-UP PROBLEMS—YOU DON’T
Do not judge your future by the size, strength or circumstances of your beginning. Every giant sea turtle began as a vulnerable hatchling crawling toward an uncertain ocean. A difficult beginning is not an impossible destination. https://pearlsforthesoul.com #PearlsForTheSoul #NeverGiveUp #SeaTurtle #Perseverance #LifeJourney

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS ON ITS OWN TERMS…LISTEN UP
Do not complain that nobody knocked… while your door is bolted shut. Be reachable. Be open. Listen. Opportunity may already be nearby. #Opportunity #RichieSpeaks #PearlsForTheSoul
-
WHEN WE SHARE AND CARE—WHAT’S DRIVING THE BACK AND FORTH?
Dialogue is not two monologues taking turns. It is an exchange of honesty, attention and respect. Do not merely wait for your turn to talk. Listen for your opportunity to care. https://pearlsforthesoul.com #PearlsForTheSoul #Communication #Listening #Dialogue #RichieSpeaks

RAPPORT OPENS ALL DOORS…FOR US TO WALK THROUGH
You cannot force trust. You can only behave in ways that INVITE it. Rapport opens the door. Trust determines how far you walk through. #Relationships #Trust #Connection #PearlsForTheSoul

RIGHT OF PASSAGE HELPS BOY-MALE GO TO MANHOOD
A man’s greatest legacy is never what he leaves behind. It is who he leaves behind. #Leadership #Manhood #Legacy

TEAMWORK REQUIRES WORK BY THE TEAM TO SCORE
Putting people in the same room creates a group. Trust, honest disagreement, defined roles, shared responsibility, and coordinated effort turn that group into a TEAM. Conflict is not always evidence that the team is failing. Sometimes it means the team has finally stopped pretending. Form. Storm. Norm. Perform. Then let the TEAM do the WORK…

GIVE ME TRUTH… TO BE SHARED WITH YOU
“How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.” Before you teach it, live it. Before you announce that you know it, allow life to test what you believe. The deepest writing comes from a life that has been fully entered. Read more: https://pearlsforthesoul.com #PearlsForTheSoul #HenryDavidThoreau #LiveDeliberately…
