Fattitude - Craig Harper
While many books focus on food, Craig teaches that creating life-long change is more about the dieter, than the actual diet. This book is perfect for people who have a history of 'almost' getting in shape.

In this entertaining presentation, Craig discusses the notion of Renovating Your Body - once and for all. Many of us have a curious ability to be able to get in shape for events (weddings, parties, reunions and birthdays), if only we'd get in shape for life.

The Commitment Wall
More than an Idea

We know that all successful endeavours are the result of an idea, a decision and a commitment. Success isn't an accident, it's a conscious journey and process. It doesn't happen to us or in spite of us, we create it. We also know that any idea (plan, intention, goal) only becomes a reality when we take the theory and attach it to some action, perseverance, passion, resilience and courage. Consistently. When it comes to creating amazing results in our world, the truth is that we all have the talent to do, be and create amazing (yes, all of us - even you), but very few of us have the commitment. We talk the talk but far too often, that's all we do; talk.

Dancing in the Rain

Committed people do what most can, but never will. They don't have more ability than the next person, they just do more with what they've got. While the majority find an excuse, these guys find a way to get the job done. While most are looking from the window of their warm, safe house, they are outside dancing in the rain. Show me someone who is totally committed to success and I'll show you a person who will truly explore their potential and do what most will only dream of. Literally.

An Opportunity

So today I'm giving you an opportunity to commit to something. Publicly. To stop thinking, talking and procrastinating and to step up to the plate and share with the world your commitment to creating the new-and-improved version of you. That is, what you're going to do (be, create, produce, change, fix, address, overcome, resolve) over the next twelve months of your life. And yes, we know a year is not a lifetime but let's start somewhere and roll those changes out over the long term after we nail the short and medium term stuff. You know I'm not a fan of resolutions but I am a big fan of making tough decisions and committing to a cause; so that's what today is about.

What is the Commitment Wall

The wall is a place on this site which could be the starting point of an incredible journey if you choose to make it that. I'm inviting you to put pen to paper (okay, fingers to keyboard) and to tell the rest of us in less than one hundred words (preferably way less) what you're going to do, be, achieve, create, overcome in the next year. You don't need to explain why or how you're going to do it. This process is not about the rest of us taking a peek into your life, it's about you doing different, to create different. It's about you telling the world (and more importantly, yourself) who and what you're going to become in the future.

Why?

The reason I'm launching this concept is because (1) some of you need a little shove to action (2) some of you have been 'almost' changing for far too long (3) some people read too much (self help) and do far too little and (4) people who articulate what they're going to do in a public forum such as this are more likely to actually create positive change than those who never let their ideas, aspirations and goals venture beyond the confines of their (frustrated) mind.

How?

Write one hundred words or less. If it's longer, it won't be published. It can be in point form or any style you're comfortable with. It only needs to make sense to you. Don't write what sounds good to anyone else, write what is meaningful, relevant and necessary for you. Be brave. Don't do this unless you are absolutely serious about the process - otherwise you're simply wasting space on my site and wasting your time. You don't have to sign your submission but not signing indicates a lack of total commitment, gives you an escape clause and means you haven't really made a public declaration but rather, an anonymous one. We're not judging you, we're supporting you. We want you to succeed. We're on your team. Why else would I do this? All submissions will be placed in a separate area on the site (called the commitment wall) and you will be able to access that any time via a link (menu option, near my photo, top left home page) from tomorrow (Wednesday). For today, submit your commitment via the comment thingy at the bottom of this post. After today you can submit your commitment any time via email.

And Then?

Every three months from today, we will ask you to provide us with a brief update on your progress. Hopefully this will help you stay focused and proactive. By doing this you will have thousands of accountability partners - for free! Your update will be placed along side your original submission for the commitment wall and you can also submit (brief) words of encouragement for others. I hope you find this resource and opportunity a valuable addition to your personal development journey.

Enjoy your Tuesday Groovers and be the change.

Ciao x
