And today, presenting something new on craigharper.com… a short post!
(Nearly killed me).
Some of us are perpetually talking about how our amazing body, career, relationship, bank balance, spiritual awakening and life are all… just around the corner.
It’s always gonna be… some time in the near future.
We’re always just about to ditch that destructive habit… next Monday (apparently that’s the habit-ditching day).
Reinvent ourselves…. very soon.
Yep.
Any moment now.
No, really.
I hate it when you don’t believe me!
The truth is we have a gift for deluding ourselves.
A propensity to lie to ourselves and others.
A gift for finding reasons to do nothing.
To wait.
Some more.
We can justify and avoid pretty much anything.
Indefinitely.
(We’ve been doing it for years).
Some of us are full of crap… and deep down, we know it.
But the good news is… we don’t have to be.
We can be different.
Perhaps today will be the day we’ll get over our fear, our preciousness, our apathy, our indifference, our laziness and our lame-ass excuses.
Perhaps today we’ll make a real decision and take a stand.
Perhaps today we’ll get completely real and honest with ourselves.
Perhaps today will be the start of amazing.
Perhaps today we’ll make it happen.
Or not.

Hi Craig.
Blunt, honest, relevant, me.
How can you know so much about me when we’ve never met?
Thanks for the slap.
PS. Fantastic site BTW.
Hello Anon…
Clearly you don’t know about the webcam someone installed in your house… the one the rest of us have been watching for two years!
Cheers.
Hey Craig.
That WAS brief. Good but brief. Did it hurt?

Hi Siobhan.
Yeh, kinda.
You know I have a periodic propensity to be somewhat excessively verbose.

As the Dalai Lama says:
1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
2. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.
3. When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
4. Spend some time alone every day.
5. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
6. Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality.
7. Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values.
8. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
9. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.
10. Be gentle with the earth.
