HOW DEEP IS YOUR SORRY AND HOW REAL IS YOUR GRATITUDE?
“Thank you” is more than good manners. It is soul awareness. When you realize what has been given to you, what has been spared from you and how much mercy you have received, gratitude becomes real and life becomes richer from the inside out. #PearlsForTheSoul #Gratitude #Forgiveness #SecondChances #SoulFood

DON’T FORGET WHO ELSE IS IN THE ROOM RECOGNIZE THEM
One hello can include somebody. One silence can make them disappear. If someone is standing close enough to hear your hello… they are close enough to receive one. #Kindness #Respect #HumanConnection #PearlsForTheSoul

DOING THE BEST YOU CAN… MONITOR AND ADJUST THIS DAILY
Doing your best is not always about doing the most. Sometimes it is simply giving what is true, right, and available in you at the time. Your best and your word still matter.

THE TEST OF ALL COMMON SENSE — IS TRUST IN WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW

PERSPECTIVE — COMMUNICATING YOURS AND UNDERSTANDING THEIRS

BECOMING TOO SERIOUS — WHY AND WHAT FOR?
Do not confuse a serious face with a serious purpose. You can care deeply… and still smile. #RichieSpeaks #Perspective #EnjoyLife #PearlsForTheSoul You do not have to look miserable to prove you are responsible. LOL. Be serious when the moment requires it. Then come back to LIFE. #Relax #LifeBalance #Joy #PearlsForTheSoul

SOMETIMES IT COMES TO YOU — OR YOU HAVE TO GO GET IT

PEOPLE PLEASERS ONLY NEED APPLY — PEOPLE WHO PLEASE PEOPLE
Do not hire somebody to deal with people… if they do not like dealing with people. LOL. Customer service begins with the PERSON before it ever reaches the policy. #CustomerService #BusinessWisdom #PeopleSkills #PearlsForTheSoul

LEARN TO ACCEPT SUCCESS — REJECT THE FEAR OF IT
Do not spend ten years knocking on the door… then run away when somebody finally opens it. Success may require one more skill: ACCEPTING IT. #FearOfSuccess #PersonalGrowth #SuccessMindset #PearlsForTheSoul

THE PROBLEMS OF LIFE ARE ALL GOOD — HERES WHY
A bad day is still a DAY. PAUSE. Problems may visit… but they are visiting someone who is still HERE. That changes the perspective. #Gratitude #LifeLessons #Perspective #PearlsForTheSoul

WHAT’S THE HURRY? RELAX, WILL YOU
Do not blame the clock because you challenged it to a race. Five minutes early feels a whole lot better than one minute late. #RichieSpeaks #BePrepared #Punctuality #PersonalGrowth #PearlsForTheSoul

THE SIMPLICITY OF IT ALL — LIFE IS MORE THAN GETTING FROM A TO B and BACK
Do not rush through the part you are going to miss later. Life is not only the destination. It is the coffee. The drive. The laugh. The pause. #SlowDown #EnjoyLife #MindfulLiving #PearlsForTheSoul

TELL DOUBT AND SECOND THOUGHTS TO GET LOST
Humility says: “I may not know everything.” Confidence says: “But I know enough to move.” Those two make a pretty good team. #RichieSpeaks #Confidence #Courage #Wisdom #PearlsForTheSoul

ONE SUBJECT AT A TIME PLEASE — HOW TO STOP FEELING OVERWHELMED

ALL SKILLS BANKS ARE DIFFERENT — YOURS IS UNIQUELY YOURS
What comes easily to YOU may look ordinary because you are the one doing it. Ask somebody who cannot do it. Suddenly your ordinary looks pretty impressive. #RichieSpeaks #Strengths #KnowYourself #PearlsForTheSoul

LAST TIME YOU TOLD SOMEONE TO SHUT UP
“SHUT UP” may stop the talking. It usually does not solve the problem. Sometimes communication improves when we remove the sting and keep the message. #Communication #SelfControl #Relationships #PearlsForTheSoul

104-YEAR-OLD LADY SAID THIS — EAT MORE ICE CREAM
At 104 years old, she was asked: “If you could live your life over again, what would you do differently?” She smiled and said: “I would have eaten more ice cream.” Sometimes hindsight does not ask for more success. It asks for more LIFE. #LifeLessons #Hindsight #EnjoyLife #PearlsForTheSoul

HOW YOU COME TO HAVE MONEY — THAT IS WHAT COUNTS
Easy money usually comes with a bill. You just may not receive it right away. Make your money. Just keep your freedom, your sleep, your conscience… and YOU. #RichieSpeaks #Integrity #Success #PearlsForTheSoul Do not only ask: “How much money can I make?” Ask: “What will I become getting it?” There are some paychecks too expensive…
