Seasoned Green Oak

Life’s not fair!  How many times did we hear this from adults who blithely responded to our complaints when we encountered injustice as children? Even if we didn’t believe them, we soon learned it was true through personal experience.  Successful people also learn how to soar above those inequities in life, rather than be held down by them.  Sometimes all you need is a friend to help you spread your wings.

To a large degree, the key to success in life is recognizing opportunities as they arise and having the courage to take advantage of them.  Unfortunately, that isn’t as easy as it sounds.  Sometimes opportunities are difficult to spot.  Other times they require resources or skills that are hard to obtain.  Sometimes opportunities are both elusive and challenging.  However, you can improve your ability to recognize opportunities if you focus your energy on doing that every day.  Kevin learned the importance of recognizing opportunities when a big rain brought out the night crawlers.

The saying “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure” was coined long before recycling became popular.  Kevin Honeycutt discovered at an early age that he had an aptitude for making something great out of someone’s trash by repairing the item or using it in a new way.  Join him as he shares how a broken Panasonic 8 track tape player helped him become the cool kid at school.

At a sporting event or musical performance, front row seats are a popular item, usually costing the attendee more money.  Unfortunately, the popular seats in our schools are often in the back row where this unspoken message is communicated between teachers and students, “You don’t bother me and I won’t bother you.”  Join Kevin as he talks about the day he discovered that a front row seat was the key to his educational success.

Many young adults struggle with the transition from high school to college.  Freedom to make their own decisions coupled with harder classes and higher expectations can send many packing at the end of the first semester, especially if they were never challenged in high school.  Join Kevin as he shares his experience with learning how to learn.

It’s an unfortunate fact that many people have to hit rock bottom before they are ready for help, but it’s a waste of time to offer assistance before that point.  If you saw someone drinking mouthwash outside a convenience store, you would probably classify that individual as close to rock bottom, but you might be wrong.  Join Kevin as he shares how he learned that you can’t help people who don’t want to be helped.

We all have special talents whether we realize it or not.  If you are an artist like Kevin, your gift is pretty obvious and you are anxious to share your creations with the world.  Other gifts might not be as apparent, but we should all look for opportunities to share what we can do with others.  Join Kevin as he recalls an unusual opportunity he had to share his artwork with the staff at the Lyon County Hospital.

Some people make the same bad choices over and over again.  Even if they seem to be gaining some ground, it is very easy to renew old acquaintances and habits that drag them down.  Those that truly turn their lives around learn how to make a break with the past and protect what they have built.  Join Kevin as he shares an experience that taught him how to be the gatekeeper of his own life.

Most children grow up with heroes they admire and emulate, and those relationships can be valuable teaching tools, but the lessons learned from anti-heroes can be powerful as well.  Join Kevin as he shares the lessons he learned from his hero, and the things he learned not to do from his anti-hero.
