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

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

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…

IF IT’S RELEVANT…IT’S IMPORTANT. THEN COMES MEANING…THEN PURPOSE
Do not give ten-dollar attention… to ten-cent distractions. If everything gets your attention… nothing gets your DEPTH. #Focus #Meaning #RichieSpeaks #PearlsForTheSoul

GODSPEED TO ALL WHO JOURNEY—THE BEST SPEED OF ALL
The world tells us to move faster. God reminds us to move with Him. Speed without direction can get you lost faster. GODSPEED gives you direction, protection, companionship, and the peace of knowing you are not traveling alone. Move when it is time to move. Wait when it is time to wait. Through it all—travel…

THE TREASURE WAS NEVER MISSING INSTEAD IT IS INSIDE OF YOU…WAITING
What if the treasure isn’t somewhere else? What if it’s waiting beneath the life you’re already living? #PearlsForTheSoul #Wisdom #Purpose
