This Week’s Lesson
Don’t let people’s negativity drag you down; you control the way you feel.
-Heather M’s life lesson from Harlan, Iowa

Richard’s Thoughts…
There will always be people who try to stop your dreams, change your path, or that just have a way of stopping a great day right in its tracks. Today that’s not going to happen! One thing I try to stress wherever I go and with whoever I speak with is that you always get to control your attitude! Always.

Today I urge you to press forward with a positive attitude. Nothing can make a day brighter than walking around feeling lighter than wind and it is all because of your attitude!

You can’t control other people, but maybe, just maybe your attitude can rub of on others this week. Make that your mission! Choose for today to be wonderful!

This Week’s Lesson
Work hard at everything I do in life.
-Kyle W’s life lesson from Leavenworth, Kansas

Richard’s Thoughts…
Kyle’s lesson comes from a conference I spoke at last fall, “Leadership On and Off the Field,” in Topeka, Kansas. It was a great group of student athletes who are leaders not only on the field of play, but in their schools and communities. The NCAA always runs advertisements that say there are over 400,000 college athletes and most of them will go pro in something other than sports.

That’s why is it so important for you as an individual to work hard every day on the things you are passionate about. That’s what you are a pro in. I’m not sure what Kyle’s future holds and I’m not sure what your future holds… or mine for that matter. What I do know is that if you work hard and you stay committed to growing as a person, good things are bound to happen.

Are you working as hard as you can on the things you’re passionate about? I know you can get busy… but this next week is the time to take action and re-focus your energy! Make it happen.

This Week’s Lesson
Believe in yourself – because others do!
-Kristen G’s life lesson from LeRoy, Kansas

Richard’s Thoughts…
Last week I asked you to focus on your attitude about rain: obstacle or opportunity? I’m continuing that theme today with the question: Do you believe in you? I think you and I can both agree that there are people all around you that believe in you!

I don’t care who you are, I know there are moments where you don’t though. We all have those moments. The key to is to limit those moments when they arrive. When you feel that feeling coming over you, take a pause, take a breath and change your focus to the things you know you can do and the things you’ve done. Think of the moments where you have really struggled, but pulled through in the end. Use that to pull you through the moments where you’re not believing in yourself.

Each day can be an up and down ride, but that’s the joy of life in that we get to experience these wonderful ups and downs and sideways turns. The more you believe in yourself to change the world, solve a problem or simply smile, the more you’ll find you can truly accomplish.

FOCUS: Rain! (v1n49)

This Week’s Lesson
Perception is everything. If it’s storming you can choose to let it bring you down or learn to dance in the rain!
-Alison B’s life lesson from Waterloo, Illinois

Richard’s Thoughts…
It’s April, and according to the old saying, “April showers bring May flowers.” I’m the type of person who loves the rain. There are times I even chose to run in the rain. It never stops me. I love the smell of a fresh rain, the sounds it brings and the feeling of new beginnings.

I hope this week you’re finding things that are making you happy. That was your charge last week. If you’ve been struggling, could it be that you are seeing it as rain and not an opportunity?

I believe everything in life is an opportunity. How do you see it? If it’s raining, is it ruining your day, or bringing new life to your flowers and freshness to the air? What part of your life can you rain on this week to bring a new attitude or perspective? Happy storming!

“I really enjoyed your seminar in St. Joe. I especially liked the suggestion that we come up with our own personal mission statement. I did this, and now I am living it! Thanks so much!”
