Seasoned Green Oak

The ability to preview our actions and predict the results of a specific choice are important life skills.  Some questions we can ask ourselves include:

What will be the result of this specific action?

Am I proud of this choice?

Will my life be better or worse if I do this thing?

Kevin took a huge step in developing these skills the day he decided to play with railroad spikes!

Every life experience is evaluated and judged through our own personal filters.  That’s part of the reason that two eye witnesses can give a completely different account of an accident or other traumatic event.  Specific actions will resonate differently with each individual.  Join Kevin as he recognizes how each of his siblings coped with their difficult childhood and celebrates the lives they were able to build.

Experts will tell you that keeping wild animals as pets is a risky endeavor as Kevin Honeycutt learned during an encounter with one of his family’s pet raccoons.  The normally docile creature turned on him because he didn’t understand its background and natural predisposition.  Join Kevin as he cautions listeners to be wary when forming relationships with people who might turn on you because they can be just as unpredictable as a wild animal.

Some people still forward e-mails and share posts on social media without verifying the accuracy of the information they contain.  Fortunately, more and more people will at least check out Snopes to verify something before they accept it as fact.  Unfortunately, children don’t have their own personal Snopes to access so they don’t question the things they are told by their parents.  They may eventually have life experiences that reset these beliefs, but it’s a difficult process to shed erroneous teachings.  Join Kevin Honeycutt as he shares the painful process he went through when a DUI resulted in a trip to a foster home.

Arbitrary rules applied to everyone without any consideration of individual needs are ludicrous at best.  When educators enforce those arbitrary rules in the classroom, they can have devastating consequences for students.  Join Kevin Honeycutt as he explains why we should all have some flexibility in our policies and err on the side of caution when someone shares a need.

We all experience interactions with others that cause us aggravation and annoyance.  It’s just a part of life, but it’s important to listen, pay attention, and approach these interactions with caution.  Kevin Honeycutt learned this lesson by watching his dad confront another driver who was suffering from road rage.

Few of us escape childhood without some limiting beliefs programmed into our psyche, but as Evelyn Waugh wrote, “When we argue for our limitations, we get to keep them.”  The first step toward overcoming our self-doubt is to acknowledge it and then make a conscious decision to believe in ourselves.  Join Kevin Honeycutt as he shares how a fight in the school bathroom and a broken necklace taught him that you are as powerful as you think you are.

Sometimes the best way to avoid trouble is to recognize a potentially dangerous situation and get out before the trouble happens.  Join Kevin Honeycutt as he describes how he developed this skill as a boy in a Maryland housing project.  What started as a simple request to help develop his karate skills quickly turned into messin’ with crazy.

Florida’s warm climate and beautiful beaches make it seem like paradise to many people in other parts of the country.  Kevin Honeycutt’s father and his Uncle Larry were two people who moved there with their families thinking a better place could create a better life.  Join Kevin as he explains how poverty, abuse, and squalor can exist in even the most beautiful location, but hard work, planning, and time are the only tools you really need to build a better life.

The phrase “survive and advance” was coined by legendary North Carolina State University basketball coach Jim Valvano, and it has become the mantra for teams playing in the annual NCAA basketball tournament.  For Kevin Honeycutt, it has been his mantra for as long as he can remember.  Join him as he shares how the tragic death of his baby sister, Cathy, taught him the importance of persistence.  When circumstances are beyond your control, holding on with all you have can be the key to your survival.
