Craig:

Wow, what an awesome cab ride! I’ve had a few interesting cab rides in my time, but none that had the Zen vibes that your ride did. Thank you for sharing this…I felt like I was there. Yep, I think all of us could learn something from talking to a guy like that. Great post!

I loved this post. The people who are really personally developed don’t learn it from books or blogs or even writing. They learn it from experience. That’s the reason I want to stop writing about personal development. I’m 18 and have no experience. I should come back and write about personal development when I’m “a Greg.” Could take 40 years.

When I grow up and I’m Greg’s age (not long to go), I want to be a “Greg”.

Cheers

Hi Guys.

I stick my head in for a peek and you’ve all been busy at me-dot-com while I’ve been out and about keeping the wheels of industry turning.

Good work x

Loved that you wrote this post about Greg. There are lots of Gregs out there if we just take the time to let them bless our lives instead of dismissing them.

When my 2nd son was a baby (about 9 months old) I would often have all sorts of ‘weirdos’ come up and want to talk to him – there was something about him – perhaps his big eyes – that attracted people that probably we’d normally avoid. There were two instances that stood out – one was a down and out heroin user who just wanted to chat to my baby son and tell him how cute he was and how much he loved babies, and the other was an old man who spoke with a very strong accent (Slavic?) who said something to my son in his own language and then addressed me in English and said “May he grow up to be a big strong man and always be a comfort and strength to you – his mother”. Perhaps I’m weird but I felt (and still feel) honoured by both of those interactions.

And LMAO @Anonymous who just discovered that you’re single Craig!

@ Christina – nothing better than embracing the rain – it really is cleansing – like the sea. Loved your story too.

very cool.

kinda reminds me of the buddhist saying that goes something like – “to be happy you must remove everything that makes you unhappy” – or something like that.
