Values-Principles-All In The Family-Bob Davis Podcast 1149

Values and Principles are All In The Family

Firstly this is a personal and heartfelt podcast about Values and Principles and It’s All In The Family. Details in Values-Principles-All In The Family-Bob Davis Podcast 1149.

Suggested By A YouTube Viewer

Secondly the idea for this podcast came from a YouTube viewer.

Principles

To begin with this viewer suggested I talk about the principles of Mountain Men and how I have adopted them.

Of course I don’t follow someone else’s principles. I follow my own.

Source

But where do they come from.

Great Idea

So that’s a great idea for a podcast.

My Family

Accordingly I delve deeply into my own family for clues.

Personal

Therefore this became a rather personal and heartfelt podcast.

Four Generations

Because I went back four generations sharing what I know about my ancestors and what they were like.

That is to say what they might have believed in when it came to principles…

And how they lived their lives.

Where Did You Find These Stories

Because I’m going so far back you might wonder about the source.

With this is mind much of the stories come from my Grandfather.

All in all my mom as well.

Not only these…

But my own memories too.

Confuse Values and Principles

Above all I think people confuse values with principles.

Of course principles can come from values.

On the other hand I find principles more like hard and fast rules…

And values to be more flexible.

Hard To Adopt Principles

Given these points it’s difficult to see how this nomad could have adapted or adopted the principles of an historical figure.

Channeling

In spite of the feeling you might get from watching a movie about some figure or character that results in a feeling like you can almost channel the them…

Eventually you’re left with your own history and family story.

Everyone Has A Different Story

Lastly of course these are different for everyone.

Certainly some of us would rather not follow principles of certain family members.

Nevertheless we learn our family’s principles in early childhoods.

Accordingly that makes Values-Principles-All In The Family-Bob Davis Podcast 1149 a very personal and emotional podcast.

Follow Along

In conclusion it’s my hope the listener will follow along as I tell my story.

Think About Your Own Family and Principles

And accordingly remember your own childhood for ideas that apply.

If-Nothing-Changes-Bob Davis Podcast 946

What Happens If Nothing Changes

These days coming up with podcasts can be difficult, if you don’t walk the well worn path. It took a spectacular summer storm to blow up the thought, what happens if nothing changes? Learn more in If-Nothing-Changes-Bob Davis Podcast 946.

In A Word, Weird

First of all the storm I speak of took almost all day to blow up. Weird orange light. Constant lightning and thunder for hours. Kind of like the time we’re living through. In a word? Weird.

When Everything Is Changing

In If-Nothing-Changes-Bob Davis Podcast 946 I decided to talk about what happens if we don’t change, when everything is changing. In other words you can’t live your life standing still.

It’s A Bizarre World

Secondly it doesn’t matter what happens in this time frame. No matter how bizarre, you shrug.

People Moving Out Of The Cities

More importantly I can’t tell you how many people I know have decided to move out of the cities. In addition rural areas are seeing an influx of city ‘refugees’.

Community

Even more some are trying to reinvent the concept of ‘community’. That is to say the old models of community don’t seem to be working these days.

Everyone Wants To Be Nomad

Seems like everyone wants to hit the road in RV, find ten acres somewhere ‘out there’. Somewhere for a garden, away from all the madness. Me too!

My Own Change

Above all the biggest change in my life and in my podcasts is a firm decision to avoid partisanship.

A Sea Of Voices

We’re living in a sea of voices predicting the future and telling us what to think. How to act.

Well Worn Path Not For Me

I won’t tread that well worn path.

If Nothing Changes

Finally they say if nothing changes, nothing changes.

Not Standing Still

To sum up, if we can’t live our lives standing still, what kinds of changes might we make?

Values Built On A Sand

Certainly we know what our personal values are. However when we try to define the values a nation can accept, they slip away.

Weird Time

In conclusion it’s a weird time.

Silver Linings

There are silver linings in those clouds though. You just have to look for ’em.

Value-Persuasion-Disruption-Live At The Mall-Podcast 687

These days we seldom think about what is valuable. We want the newest. The latest. Consume. Enjoy. Move on. Spending a day at the mall makes me wonder what has real value today. In Value-Persuasion-Disruption-Live At The Mall-Podcast 687.

At The Mall

We’re at certainly one of the oldest indoor malls. Southdale Mall, in Edina, Minnesota. I used to come to Southdale a lot. Not so much anymore. While malls in general have fallen on hard times, Southdale is still home base for me.

Things Change And Stay The Same

Shopping at the mall pretty much like it always was. While decorations have changed the idea stays the same. Especially relevant is the idea that all the stores are more closely defined. Seems like more clothing and accessories than back in the day of the JC Penny on one end of the mall, and Sears on the other. We’ll talk about it in Value-Persuasion-Disruption-Live At The Mall-Podcast 687.

If That’s All There Is My Friend Then Let’s Keep Dancing

What is valuable to us these days? Many things are disposable. Software and hardware upgrades feed buying the newest and latest. The idea of a waffle iron or heavy coat that lasted a lifetime is in the past. We discuss real value in Value-Persuasion-Disruption-Live At The Mall-Podcast 687.

Brand Names and Quality

Words like Value evoke brand images in every generation. For some it’s a car, or a consumer item. For others value triggers thoughts of clothing, an accessory or something that seemed to last forever. Real value though, can also be intangibles. Attributes attached to people. ‘Things’ we have to earn.

Missing Intangibles

Seems like these days so called intangibles are taking on a great deal more significance. We miss integrity, trustworthiness and respect. We crave time and forget the value of health and the people we care most about.

Beautiful Downtown Fill In The Blank

Malls are designed to evoke feelings and images of the old time markets. Walking through the mall is supposed to feel like the old time main street and its row of shops. The watchmaker and jeweler, tailor and shoe store, outdoor store and record shop. The texture and surfaces make us feel comfortable and somehow like we’re at home.

How Do You Spell Happy?

In conclusion I could suggest that the ‘things’ that make us feel secure and happy aren’t things at all. So, in Value-Persuasion-Disruption-Live At The Mall-Podcast 687, some thought starters for your Christmas and New Year’s season about what’s really important.
