Things aren't always as dire as you imagine. Maybe your perspective is what needs changing.
Let me share with you a story about what happened in my life recently. (Recorded on my birthday). The cliche of “the attitude of Gratitude” is very difficult to stomach when finding yourself struggling as a single Dad. Everyone has advice and it’s hard to keep your sanity sometimes. I am not a psychologist or behavioral specialist of any kind however, I want to share with you what works for me.
Taking steps toward recognizing how good your situation is, is the beginnings of a very powerful mindset shift. Small steps lead to big changes but small steps can beagonizing. Continue placing one foot in front of the other and soon you will begin to see results. Eventually finding gratitude will come naturally. Like any talent, or attitude you need to continue to practice in order to ensure the full benefits. I would hope my example hits home with you and shows that the “little things” matter most. If you can engage your mind over small matters you will begin the process of finding the person you and your family wants and needs. Take comfort friends, you are not alone in this pursuit.
Keep fighting the good fight.

Join us as we talk to Blaik understanding and overcoming the hurdles in his life in order to become the person he is today. Personally, I was blown away at several points during our conversation.

Richard has been a working single father for a very long time. Ironically, being kicked out and homeless as a teenager was the first step infinding the strength despite his circumstances. Richard spent years struggling with addictions and has come to grips with making steadfast changes in order improve his life and provide for his son. The only thing more powerful than Richard’s words of wisdom is the pure character that he exudes in telling his story.
