Sometimes nothing in front of you has to change. You just need to move where you are standing. Perspective can change the experience before the circumstances ever change. #Perspective #LifeLessons #PersonalGrowth #Awareness #PearlsForTheSoul

KIDS WHO BULLY OTHER KIDS — PART 5: MAKE THE SCHOOLS SAFE ENOUGH TO LEARN

—

by

in ASK QUESTIONS, AWARENESS, HEARING-LISTENING-FOCUS, INTERPERSONAL-RELATIONSHIPS

A child should not have to choose between getting an education and feeling safe. If fear becomes the main subject being studied every day, something is wrong. School should prepare children for life—not teach them how to survive the hallway. #StopBullying #SchoolSafety #ProtectChildren #Parenting #PearlsForTheSoul

KIDS WHO BULLY OTHER KIDS — PART 4: WHEN ADULTS FINALLY SEE THE PROBLEM

—

by

in ACCOUNTABILITY-GIVE AN ACCOUNTING, AWARENESS, HEARING-LISTENING-FOCUS

Once adults actually SEE bullying or threatening behavior, the conversation changes. No more: “We didn’t know.” Document it. Report it. Follow up. A child should not have to prove the same danger over and over again. #StopBullying #ChildSafety #Parenting #SchoolSafety #PearlsForTheSoul

KIDS WHO BULLY OTHER KIDS — PART 3: PARENTS, THIS IS WHERE YOU STEP IN

—

by

in FEAR, HEARING-LISTENING-FOCUS, INTERPERSONAL-RELATIONSHIPS

A bullied child may already feel alone at school. Do not let them feel alone at home too. When they finally speak: Listen. Reassure. Document. Act. #StopBullying #Parenting #ChildSafety #SchoolBullying #PearlsForTheSoul

KIDS WHO BULLY OTHER KIDS — PART 2: WHEN SCHOOL BECOMES SURVIVAL

—

by

in ACCOUNTABILITY-GIVE AN ACCOUNTING, INTERPERSONAL-RELATIONSHIPS, PROBLEM-SOLVING

The absence of bruises does not mean the absence of damage. A bullied child can carry fear, humiliation, and hopelessness through every class without anybody seeing a mark. Adults have to learn to see patterns—not just injuries. #BullyingAwareness #ProtectChildren #MentalWellbeing #RichieSpeaks #PearlsForTheSoul

KIDS WHO BULLY OTHER KIDS — PART 1: WHEN A CHILD FEELS TRAPPED

—

by

in ACCOUNTABILITY-GIVE AN ACCOUNTING, INTERPERSONAL-RELATIONSHIPS

A bullied child may be trapped between two fears: If I tell, they may get me later. If I don’t tell, they may get me again. Before asking, “Why didn’t you say something?” Ask whether the child believed it was safe to say something. #Bullying #ProtectChildren #Parenting #SchoolSafety #PearlsForTheSoul

THE MAN WHO CUPPED MY EAR — A LESSON IN QUIET COMMUNICATION

—

by

in CONNECTION, HARMONY, HEARING-LISTENING-FOCUS

He had no encryption software. He had a hand, an ear, and common sense. Sometimes the best communication is not louder. It is quieter. #Communication #Wisdom #BusinessLessons #LifeLessons #PearlsForTheSoul

POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FIRST IMPRESSION = THE KISS OF DEATH

—

by

in ACCOUNTABILITY-GIVE AN ACCOUNTING, HONESTY-CHARACTER, IDENTITY-WHO-ARE-YOU

Poor customer service has a long memory. The customer leaves with a story. Good story? They may tell a few people. Bad story? LOL…that one grows legs. #CustomerService #BusinessWisdom #CustomerExperience #PearlsForTheSoul

TEN CENTS OR TEN MILLION — WE ALL DIE POOR WITH ONE EXCEPTION

—

by

in GAINING THE WHOLE WORLD, POVERTY OF SPIRIT

If you die with ten cents… you leave ten cents. If you die with ten million… you leave ten million. Either way, YOU LEFT IT. The real question is what you became while you had it. #Money #LifeWisdom #SpiritualWealth #RichieSpeaks #PearlsForTheSoul

LET IT BE DONE TO YOU AS YOU BELIEVE THE POWER OF BELIEF

—

by

in BELIEF POWER, FAITH

You do not have to accept every belief somebody hands you. Some mental packages should be marked: RETURN TO SENDER. Keep the beliefs that strengthen responsibility, courage, faith, and forward movement. #PositiveBelief #SelfAwareness #Faith #RichieSpeaks #PearlsForTheSoul

EARLY BIRD CATCHES THE WORM — WHAT KIND OF BIRD ARE YOU?

—

by

in 100% ALL YOU GOT, CYCLE of LIFE, GRATITUDE-APPRECIATION-THANKS

The early bird catches the worm. The diligent bird keeps working. The tenacious bird refuses to quit. The hesitant bird keeps wondering. The greedy bird wants them all. The caring bird makes sure everybody eats. What kind of bird are you? #SelfAwareness #LifeWisdom #Character #PersonalGrowth #PearlsForTheSoul

LIFE IS SWEET OR SOUR — YOU DECIDE WHICH ONE

—

by

in HARMONY, HEARTSPEAK, HUMILITY-HUMBLE

If your coffee is too bitter, you adjust the cup. Why do we sometimes refuse to do the same with life? Add some courtesy. Reduce the complaining. Stir in gratitude. Taste again. #PersonalGrowth #LifeWisdom #Attitude #Gratitude #PearlsForTheSoul

FIXATING ON PROBLEMS EMPOWERS THEM — FIND YOUR CENTER INSTEAD

—

by

in FEAR, LIFE-TRIAL-AND-ERROR, PROBLEM-SOLVING

This little simple statement plagues mankind constantly: FIXATING ON PROBLEMS EMPOWERS THEM. Here is how it usually begins. We encounter a problem that looks epic in proportion. Maybe it is shocking. Unexpected. Painful. Financial. Personal. Professional. Relational. Something happens and for a moment it seems to fill the entire sky. That first reaction is normal.…

KEEPING YOUR TRAP SHUT — SOMETIMES SILENCE IS THE STRONGER MOVE

—

by

in LEARNING-AS-YOU-GO, LIFE-PARTICIPATION

You do not have to attend every argument you are invited to. Sometimes silence is not weakness. It is discipline. #Communication #SelfControl #Wisdom #PersonalGrowth #PearlsForTheSoul

IF YOUR HEART AIN’T IN IT — WHY ARE YOU DOING IT?

—

by

in HEARTSPEAK, REAL-YOU

If your heart isn’t in it, don’t immediately quit. ASK WHY. Maybe you need rest. Maybe you need change. Maybe you need a new direction. But don’t spend your life physically showing up… WHILE THE REAL YOU STAYS HOME. #PearlsForTheSoul #Purpose #PersonalGrowth #WorkWithHeart #LifePurpose

THE POWER OF BEING YOURSELF — PEOPLE BUY YOU FIRST BEFORE THEY BUY WHAT YOU SELL

—

by

in 100% ALL YOU GOT, PAY-OFF-FOR-YOU, REAL-YOU

You can copy somebody’s script. You can copy their presentation. You can even buy the same suit. But sooner or later… YOU have to show up. That is where real value begins. #Authenticity #Confidence #Mastery #BusinessWisdom #PearlsForTheSoul

THE GRATITUDE OF LIFE — WHEN WHAT YOU HAVE BECOMES ENOUGH ALREADY

—

by

in GAINING THE WHOLE WORLD, GRATITUDE-APPRECIATION-THANKS, INNER-TREASURE

We spend so much time asking life for MORE that we sometimes forget to look at what life has already given us. If you woke up this morning, start there. YOU WOKE UP. Another day was placed into your hands. Before asking what else you are going to receive… say thank you for that. #Gratitude…

NON-SENSE MEANS COMMON (NO) SENSE IS NOT ENGAGED

—

by

in COMMON SENSE, CREDIBILITY-BELIEVABILITY

Before you say it… PAUSE. Before you send it… PAUSE. Before you make something permanent because of a temporary emotion… PAUSE. Sometimes coming back to your senses literally means coming back to your COMMON SENSE. #PearlsForTheSoul #ThinkFirst #Wisdom #SelfAwareness #RichieSpeaks
