So it seems not everybody loves what I have to say (no surprise there).
Andrew from Surrey thinks I need to lift my game.
Well Andrew, I’ll do my best to stop churning out that mindless, boring, un-inspirational crap and pen something spectacular one day soon… just for you.
Just got this from Andrew off the cyber-highway:
Dear Craig,
I have visited your blog for the first time today. I had a read through a few of the blogs, but i have a problem. The things that you say, i already do. All the blogs about success, winning, inner beauty and goals, i already do. I feel really bad because someone i knew said you were really inspirational. Can you please write something trully amazingly inspirational so i can marvel at you?
Andrew from Surrey
We all need our own Andrew from Surrey to keep us grounded.
Back in therapy for me.
Thanks for your honesty Andrew.

Just wondering why Andrew even wasted his time visiting when anything to do with Success, Winning, Inner Beauty & Goals he already knows about and is doing!
Maybe he could start his own site and inspire us all.
There’s always going to be one “Andrew” for the thousand or so other readers who do find your blog inspirational.
I guess it’s great that he’s “doing it all” – maybe he should have his own blog….
Craig
What I would find really helpful is if Andrew could write either his own blog or a nice piece for the rest of us who do not have it all together. Since he already has it all figured out I could use some of that wisdom! Maybe he should have submitted an entry for your “Lessons from Readers.” Have a g’day mate!
Am I the only one who went to craigsucks.com expecting to find a site?
I won’t throw any stones. Craig, I like your site although I am green with envy over your writing style.
Hi Craig,
You just keep doing what you are doing!
You are HARPER-ILLIANT…..we love ya!
I think this post should be: http://www.andrewfromsurreysucks.com
( ) ( ) x x…that’s cyber-love for you Craig NOT Andrew!
Christine from Canada here, Craig.
Oh well, “Win some, lose some” I guess. Also, we can’t forget “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. And, as we say in French, jamais deux sans trois (never two without three)so, “you can lead a horse to water but …” — you know the rest. I for one, think your fabulous.
Oh, Craig, no…
don’t post this! Why extend your focus to the one negative email…
Why not post five emails that said you helped amazingly?
You don’t need therapy (in my humble opinion); just extend your focus, like the telescope thing that sea captains used to see something far away? (What is that thing really called?)
Anyway, like the sea captain do not focus on the small dude in a sinking rowboat (blaming his situation on everyone else but his own lack of desire to accept and bail) in front of your ship – instead extend your sight to the shore of people saying:
“Craig, hey!!! Over here!!! You’re amazing! We’re stranded! Come help us!”
*shakes head* You’re amazing Craig, so I DARE YOU. I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU.
Post five amazing emails that you have saved over the years and let this one go.
Best,
–J
hmmm, I don’t understand what Andrew is visiting the site for if he already does the things you say? Maybe he was just having an off day or was trying to “stir some sh*t” and see what reaction he would get from people commenting on the post and then sit back and chuckle – who knows?

craig I love ya!
Andrew from Surrey – you have a real problem if you do all this and still need to find more – or think you have done it all and people like Craig have nothing more to give…Not everything Craig says to me rings a bell but a lot of it does. but you need to be open to it for it to happen.
Hi Guys,
it’s all a bit of fun.
I’m not at all worried.. or offended by Andrew; he is most welcome to his thoughts and hopefully he will find a writer that does inspire him.
Well….well….well…. the world according to ‘Andrew from Surrey’ must be a truly inspirational, motivating and full of truly wondrous experiences!!! Pity he couldn’t share some of that with you Craig!?!?!?
Me thinks it is a bit of sour grapes!! You have an awesome blog here Craig as we all know, and Andrew from Surrey has…..?????
Hiya Craig,
Personally I think perfection sucks ….it makes the rest of us look bad!
Not that anyone puts much store into something like that , great to see that he is so amazing and has it all together…he needs inspiration because…..
Funny though …Andrew who…
Just in case , have a cyber hug!

Well! So much for double dog dares!!
Have a great day, Craig.
Hi Craig, good to see you are coping with the comments, was a bit worried there for a moment. Andrew from Surrey is entitled to voice a comment as you said. There are many levels and directions people move in. You have a great site(sight) and the amount you write and quaility of the product you create keeps us coming back. Not everyone wants to climb a mountain, go into space, run a marathon or even walk to the local shops. Each person has a story to tell and you are prepared to tell it warts and all, in your unique way. Have you ever tried reading Edward De Bono. He freaks me out!!!!!
Big Dan from Berwick

take care gorgeous man
julie, hobart tasmania
Craig,
Pleae don’t tell me that “Andrew from Surrey’s” comment dinted your triple plated armour??????
Hope he come at least comes back to see that you have a post deciated to just him…
I just think Andrew is having a bit of fun, not to be taken seriously!! I think its good to have people like Andrew around to keep your mind sharp and to keep challanging yourself!
Hi Craig
Knowing how much Darrell was getting from your site I decided to have a good look around and I am loving it.
I have just lost a bit of weight and ran my first fun run on Mothers Day and am looking to keep the momentum going.
Keri
Monday I printed and laminated on red paper and stuck on my fridge in big bold font ‘Nothing tastes as good as being in Shape Feels”.
Thanks for that! as that’s how i feel and dont want to undo my hard work.
Craig
I know, you know, that the only place we need to search for true inspiration is within and if he needs someone to “marvel” at exactly how successfully inner beautified is he (bless him
You write and speak beautifully, but I know, you know, you already know that
Be well
Hi Craig
Knowing how much Darrell has got from this site I was intrigued to check it out and have a thorough read.
I have recently lost some weight and am in the process of turning my lifestyle around and am keen to keep the momentum going.
On Monday I ‘stole’ something of yours and now I have a big red laminated sign on my fridge…NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS BEING IN SHAPE FEELS.
This is exactly how i feel. Everyone I have said it to Love’s it as well….
So Thankyou!
Keri
Don’t worry about people like Andrew – if anyone sucks it’s him.
Get a life Andrew! It’s obviouse to all of us that you are the big looser here!
