About The Peakspective
Hello there. I call myself DOP online (it’s short for doctorofpeak). I’m the writer and thinker behind The Peakspective blog/newsletter that aims to share insightful lessons from life for people to reflect on in their lives. The name is a combination of the words ‘peak’ and ‘perspective’ as the blog was originally known as The Peak Perspective.
It’s taken me a while to get to this point. I didn’t just decide one day I would try being an online writer although it had always seemed interesting to me. From a very young age, I’ve dreamed of being an author. Over the past few years, I’ve had a great interest in sharing things online. I’ve tried everything from being a TikToker, to running a YT channel which managed to accumulate over 100 subscribers. (If you’re interested, you can check it out here).
I’ve also attempted to become famous through posting on Twitter (now unfortunately known as X) and I’ve even tried being a Wattpad fiction writer. I’ve also had an interest in becoming a web developer; you can check out a calculator I built here.
The main shift in my mindset over the years has been realising I want to post content to inspire others. I look around me and see an abundance of garbage content which doesn’t really help people but instead destroys their minds, especially short-form content which is causing a decline in people’s attention spans. I want to try and help change that.
I find enjoyment in learning and improving myself. I read books, watch YouTube videos and listen to podcasts to learn like quite a lot of people. While all this is great, I feel like I need to be doing something with that knowledge. Taking action from what I learn is how my life actually changes. That’s why I feel it makes sense to create insightful content myself to make my mark on the world.
I’ve always wondered whether I could be the person who inspires others, rather than the person who is merely inspired. I very well can be. Anyone could be the one to make a difference.
I also find myself having very unique thoughts and again I wonder, surely there’s someone out there who must think in some similar way to me. I search certain quirky things online that don’t give me any useful results because nobody’s really thought about those same things. Maybe I could be the one who shows someone that they’re not alone in the world with their thinking.
I also enjoy writing. But I also want to share my writing to the world. And that’s why this website exists. I don’t have my life sorted out and I never will. But I want to help others on their journey so we can all move closer to our ideal lives together.
You can expect posts that dive into books, some poetry and maybe prose, essays, and posts on a wide range of interesting topics. If you’re into personal development like I am, I think there’s definitely something you can gain from this blog.
You may or may not learn something (but I hope you do). I don’t want to give you the same information you’ve heard repeated so many times. I want to be different from the crowd. Here, you can also witness the development of a writer in real time with each post and each word.
