This is a great article Craig. I have worked hard to develop my own personal strategy for success, and I have learned that one of the best ways is to help others do so – when they ask for it. “Pay it forward” is a great way of life and I appreciate your efforts in that direction.

Craig Baby,

I don't see the thriving metropolis of Canberra on your Rock Star tour schedule. I imagine that was just an oversight that will soon be corrected....

Yours in early morning dumping...

Craig,

Another brilliant read from you. I love how you are so willing to help so many people with all the inspiring articles, but so true, they have to "really" want to change to actually give it a go.

I knew I had to lose weight and I knew "I" was the only one who could make that happen. Sure I read loads of info and got loads of support but in the end it has to come down to how much I want it to happen. I have read everything I have recieved from you over the past few months have printed a lot out to re-read too. Thanks so much for giving me so much help. I still have just over 50kgs to go (have already lost 20.7) I guess I wanted the change enough to do it.

Hugs to you for your constant inspiration.

Michelle

Can't resist commenting even though it is late in the day. My favourite part was to remember to invest time, energy & love into the people (who are your friends) but who don't neccessarily share some of the same goals or even (some)interests.

They are your friends for different reasons & make your life shine as much as all the other amazing people who do share those goals.
The world is a colourful place -
share the love !!

Ultimately it comes down to “walking the walk” not “talking the talk.” Change has to come from within oneself. Over the past decade and a half I’ve read plenty of the “self-help” genre and the diamonds amongst the rough are few and far between.

I’ve made some changes to my life over the past twelve odd months (food and drink wise). My success is down to a combination of finally taking action and daily tracking of new habits. Not any peppy catch phrases from “Joe Slick.”

I really appreciate the no-nonsense style on you blog, Craig.

(P.S – With Oprah finally discovering the joys of eating home grown fruit and vegies – has she gone from being a sinker to a floater?)

Awesome post Craig! I’ve still been reading regularly, (need to get better at the ‘doing’ on a consistent and forever basis).

Luv your site!
