Rick’s Determination
Rick’s unique background includes surpassing 140,000-lifetime running miles on Thursday, May 19, 2022. This journey began in June 1978, averaging 61+ miles/week with an average “doorstep-to-doorstep” pace of ~6:41, a B.S. in Agronomy (soil, water, and crops) from Kansas State University, and his M.A. in Christian Leadership from Dallas Theological Seminary provides unique synergistic insights. Attendees will dash out of the arenas filled with mind-boggling insights into metaphors such as planting seeds, proficient tilling, harvest, and seasons.
The greater we understand the foundation of principles and metaphors, the better we understand, remember, and apply the lessons which necessarily generates amazing immediate and long-term Return on Investments (ROI).
Conversely, slick motivational clichés fade away the moment you step off the porch into the challenging elements. As an ordained pastor, Meyer believes in rich and filling “Cheesecake” motivation over sweet, yet empty “Cotton Candy” motivation.
Rick Meyer agrees with one of his favorite professors at Dallas Theological Seminary, Dr. Stanley D. Tousaint, “Success is pleasing Jesus Christ.”
While running an average of 8+ miles per day and 3,100+ miles per year for 44 years with an approximate overall average pace of 6:41/mile, Rick understands long-term persistence and authentic motivation to overcome every imaginable excuse. He conquered these miles in temperatures ranging from 13 miles in minus 70F wind-chill (minus 35F actual) in 1996 to 5 miles in 118F in 1983. The weather has varied from blizzards, knee-deep snow, ice, sleet, freezing rain, torrential rain, hail, lightning, mud, dust, and high winds to perfectly warm and sunny.
Rick’s long-term mottos for Running, Ministry, Preaching, and all of Life include:
“It’s not me, but Christ who is in me.”
“I can’t, He can, we are.”
These wholly acknowledge that all meaningful accomplishments result from Jesus Christ mercifully working through us.
“Talk is cheap!”
“Bite of more than you can chew, then chew it.” (late 1980s or early 1990s)
“If Winning were Easy, Everybody Would Do It.” ~Rick challenged his high school championship cross country teammates in the fall of 1983 and 1984
Meyer’s presentations supply a life-time of multi-mode “excuse-icides” for the attendees to eliminate their excuses.

If Winning Were Easy, Everybody Would Do It
This seminar is about desire. How strong is your desire to reach your goals? In life, success is auctioned to the highest bidder. Anything illegal, immoral, or unethical is like purchasing something with counterfeit money. In “If Winning Were Easy, Everybody Would Do It,” Rick concentrates on four key elements of winning:
- Imagination
- Visualization
- Realization
- Goals
Rick actually encourages his audience to “bite off more than you can chew, then chew it!” This means you must position yourself to win, avoid negativity and complacency, and always do your best.
