		<description><![CDATA[Selected Life Lesson
Never take anything for granted.
-Lynne L&#8217;s life lesson from St. Louis, Mo.
Richard&#8217;s Thoughts&#8230;
I recently returned to the tennis court. For many people, not big news &#8230; but for me, a guy who was told by a doctor nearly three years ago that I shouldn&#8217;t play much anymore, this is a big accomplishment. Shortly [...]

		<title>Creativity, I am Waiting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
*Beginning in 2010, I started writing a bi-weekly column, “From Richard’s Oft Cluttered Desk” which appears every other Wednesday.
This is the fifth column I&#8217;ve penned officially for this blog. Each time I&#8217;ve sat down to write I&#8217;ve been concerned about the outcome. Heck, half the time I have not had an idea what I would [...]

		<title>Anything is Possible &#8211; The Stress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the last year as I’ve been writing and working on this book, I’ve had countless people say that either they or someone they know has always wanted to write a book. I admire that because I was once one of those people. Of course, if you know me, I still want to tackle the [...]

We are who we are because of where we have been.
-Cheryl O&#8217;s life lesson from Cedar Rapids, Iowa
Richard&#8217;s Thoughts&#8230;
Last week&#8217;s lesson focused on believing that everything happens for a reason. I absolutely believe it does; both good and bad things. Each experience we have happens to us for a reason. Maybe it is [...]

		<title>Blink &#8211; Book Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I recently finished Blink by Malcom Gladwell, and while not as good (in my opinion) of his latest work, Outliers which I already reviewed. While Outliers looked at what created personal success. Blink focuses on the two seconds your mind takes in making decisions. In a nut-shell it was fascinating.
Why You Should Read It:

If you&#8217;re [...]

		<title>Live Happiness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[*This post is the fourth in the Life-Debt Series. An inside look at living your life to its fullest.
In my life, I&#8217;ve often wondered if I am truly happy. Then my mind starts to wander to the true meaning of happiness. Can anyone really achieve it? How can you achieve it? And how, once you [...]

Seriously, I&#8217;m ready for baseball season!

This star made me smile and yet made me sad. Someone made it for someone special and it was relegated to the trash.

Everything happens for a reason.
-Anonymous life lesson from Olathe, Kansas
Richard&#8217;s Thoughts&#8230;
I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ve all heard this lesson, but what does it really mean? How can you incorporate it into your life? Well, for me, today marks a very special anniversary. On this day in 2003, seven years ago, I lost my campaign for [...]

*Beginning in 2010, I started writing a bi-weekly column, “From Richard’s Oft Cluttered Desk” which appears every other Wednesday.
Oh, the insanity. I do a  lot of reading online about personal development and business leadership and some of the writers periodically share the tools they find to use, either online, with Outlook, or with their smart-phones [...]
