Hi Anice,

long time no hear.

It would appear that the Velvet Sledge Hammer is a favourite no more.

Hope you're well.

it’s true you know, all we DO need is food, shelter, warmth and love. the rest is superfluous really. food, shelter, warmth and love are needs, the rest are wants (or not-wants depending on your personal philosophy on STUFF)

take care gorgeous man

Hi Christine,

that would depend on what your business is... the answer is probably.. yes.

Send me through another comment with the relevant info for your new business and unless I find it horribly offensive (doubt it) I'll give it a run.

Cheers.

Hi Ange,

(1) I expect you to hug ten people in the next 24 hours

(2) I didn't say fat = happy.. I said it's possible to be fat and happy

(3) Garden hose????

Go hug someone

Here's one from me ( )

Hi Paul,

thanks for your thoughts.

If it works for you... it's the right approach.

Cheers.

Christine from Canada, Craig:
Speaking of “plenty in common”, would you allow me to to plug my business since we’re expanding to your very own country of Australia in July?

Craig

Well after reading that i now just want to go hug everyone. Coming from a non-hugger this worries me.

although have to disagree with you on the fat=happy. How can u be happy when u're so fat you need to use the garden hose to wash yourself. I tried being fat and happy. I was kidding myself. Most fat people are.

And no i've never had to use the garden hose.

Hey Craig (sorry a bit long this)
Interesting blog, but i am confused as to why the importance of this blog, and many others are all about something externally influenced, rather than from within us. Been loved, is external.
In my experiences (perception of anyway) is the lack of self love may be the reason we don’t receive these things you say create success (happiness, fullfillment etc).
If one begins with a genuine self love, appreciation and gratefullness for who they are, then it don’t matter sh**t what else they have in the world. Bc without this, they can never truly love someone else, never openly care 100% for someone and never be there fully for other people. A deep seeded belief tells them they are lying if they try. We all can sense it from time to time.
If the self development world is remaining so hung up on attaining factors influenced outside ourselves, then its no wonder people are confused and unfullfilled.
Start at home – clean the mothballs out of your internal storage and then take this out to the world.
Again, I don’t know the answers for others, but this approach works for me, and came from my 90 yo grandman, who was overweight, happily married and adored by 1000′s. She’s no dalai lama or tony robbins, she was just simple grandma, been proud of her gracefullness and grateful for all.
She never drove a car as well, so may that helped in some way .
Keep up the thought provoking work.
