PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN REMINDERS

July 4, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Who needs a Personal Development Plan? A PDP? More like who doesn’t. From cradle to grave we’re either doing personal development, or planning personal development. It’s good to have a plan to work. But if your goal, your plan, is to become a world class jackass, keep working.

COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN

June 29, 2024 by David Gillaspie

If a writer isn’t complaining, what are the other options? After a quick look since I came up with nothing, it’s praise. Praising. But we’re not used to praising. That needs to change.

BE SOMEBODY? THERE ARE CLUES ALONG THE WAY

June 18, 2024 by David Gillaspie

You’ve heard the request to ‘be somebody?’ Be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, and more. The request usually comes from an adult speaking to someone who screwed up. They ask why we can’t be better than what we’re in trouble for. It’s different when we’re in trouble with ourselves.

EXERCISING RIGHTS FOR BETTER LIVING

June 12, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Exercising rights are a mental thing; also a physical thing. The mental part is realizing the benefits of the physical thing. How often has someone doubted the benefits of either? When they do cast doubt, they do it from a couch eating bonbons.

EVERYDAY BLOGGER ON EVERYDAY TOPICS

June 10, 2024 by David Gillaspie

An everyday blogger needs to stay sharp to what’s happening around them. If they don’t pay attention, they won’t be able to write a blog post. I’ve been cooking one up this morning, but I changed my routine. Instead of getting up, making tea, and sitting down to compose, I went to the gym. It […]

MUNDANE LIFE? CONGRATULATIONS

RIGHT THING? YOU KNOW HOW TO DO IT

May 5, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Doing the ‘right thing’ used to be easier. Maybe is was because baby boomers didn’t have as many choices for doing wrong? I didn’t see a lot of choices besides ‘Do what you’re told’ growing up. From parents, to teachers, to coaches, scout leaders, and beyond, we were told what to do by people we […]
