PIP

Welcome to PIP Talks.  As most normal people, I assume you are frustrated by unfamiliar acronyms, and, upon encountering yet another unknown set of capitalized letters feel completely at a loss for anything else being said until you are informed as to what those looming, intimidating, must-be-oh-so-important letters are representing.   Well, the bad news is that you’re never going to find out the real meaning of PIP.  Unless, of course, you decide to make it up for yourself. 

Originally, the idea had been to call this Perspectives on Integrity and Peace, which would be all nice and well except for the fact that those two concepts are informed by so many other factors, and to try and focus on just them, only them… seemed a little exclusive to me.  Truly, the options here are endless.  It could be People Informing Peace, Promoting Inspirational Passion, Perpetually in Prayer or Pretty Interesting Person.  How about Peace Inspired Play or Purpose Influenced Passion?  We could try summing it up with Peaceful Integrated Passion, but then what about those Perpetually Introspective Persons who need a Push Into Practicality?  I am not about to forget the importance of creativity and beauty in issues such as these, so even a title such as Prevailing Igloo Practices could be turned into a fairly meaningful and pointed thought. 

PIP has a meaning, and it’s a good meaning too.   The whole Purpose In Point is to uncover the possibilities without unraveling the mystery (Paradox Is Priority)…

PIP Talks

There are two reasons for the name of this blog, which primarily, I suppose, boil down to the same thing, but for Pride In Posterity I will offer up both sides of the same idea.  That idea, naturally, is that the blog is to be kept short.   I am already beginning to feel long-winded.
It is “pip” for the sense of smallness that the word implies, but it is also a play on the phrase “pep talks” (if you hadn’t yet noticed).  Pep talks are meant to be short but pointed, intentional, motivating, encouraging, and directed at ways to develop better game plans, strategies, attitudes, outlooks, actions, etc.

So welcome, again, to PIP Talks, now that you know what it is.  Read, reflect, comment, and be Personally Inspired to Passion, or anything else for which you may find a PIP Talk useful.
