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.
DVD
or CD - Renovate Your Body In this entertaining presentation, Craig discusses the
notion of Renovating Your Body - once and for all. Many of us have a curious

and birthdays), if only we'd get in shape for life.

Hi guys, we're nearly done with the current series (and the group breathes a collective sigh of relief). I apologise if the last week(ish) of posts has seemed in any way self-indulgent; it wasn't intended to be. I just felt that it was important for me to put on record 'how I work'. I receive many emails from people who want to know how I personally live my life. Tomorrow will be the final in this (very sensible) series and then I promise I'll do my very best to be irreverent, politically incorrect and completely offensive. People get offended anyway, so I may as well give them a reason! On with the show....
Principle 9: Generosity. Being generous simply means giving unconditionally; with no agenda, no self-serving strategy, no resentment and no hesitation. Despite conventional thinking, generosity doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the giving of money or material gifts. Although it may. Some of the most generous people have little to give financially but they find a way to impact the lives of others and make people happy by giving of their time, skills, attention, energy and their selfless love. While it's sensible and practical for us to have personal goals and a plan for our own lives (of course), it's also imperative that we take time to invest in others and to regularly shift the focus from our own needs and wants to the needs of others. It's important for us to step back from the small picture (our life) and soak in the big picture; humanity. Selfish people are miserable people.
*Note: Don't confuse being generous with being used, abused, manipulated or controlled. I will never be a doormat, but I will be a strong, compassionate, generous person. Who periodically cries in stupid dog movies.
Principle 10. To laugh often. I love laughing. At almost anything. At school I got in trouble hundreds of times for laughing when I shouldn't have. And yes, this was reflected in my report cards. "Craig has a propensity to be easily distracted and is not always a good influence on other students". So not fair. I find some grown-ups to be boring, uninspiring and periodically, depressing. I have worked with (coached) many 'successful' people who haven't laughed in years. What's the point? When there's no joy, there's no life; just an existence.
Having visited some very poor cultures, I can tell you with some certainty that happiness and the ability to laugh is not dependant on one's bank balance, marital status, body-weight, wardrobe or address. The happiest group of people I've ever spent time with live on a tiny Island called Espiritu Santo (an island of Vanuatu); no electricity, no television, no modernisation, very little money and not an iPod to be seen! Just a bunch of singing, clapping, laughing, three-stringed guitar playing, loving people. When we're laughing, we're happy. And when we're happy our body is producing happy, healthy, healing hormones - so why wouldn't we laugh? It's good for our immune system (that's a fact). When we're laughing we're fun to be around and we're infinitely more attractive. Grumpy people; ugly. Physically, emotionally, mentally, socially and professionally, the benefits of laughing are numerous. When we were kids we laughed just because we could. It didn't have to make sense. Sometimes we need less logic and maturity and more laughter.
Principle 11.To Maximise what I have. I've always been a person who wanted to get the most out of myself; my mind, my body, my potential, my relationships, my opportunities, my career, my spiritual life... all of it. I always say to my audiences, "I don't care how much potential you have, I care how much of it you use". It's not about what you've got; it's about what you do with what you've got. And the sad reality is that the vast majority of people never even scrape the surface of their potential or their possibilities. They spend the majority of their lives rationalising, justifying and explaining why they're not doing the things they would, could and should. Always about to start, never actually doing. Keep in mind that there's rarely a perfect time but there's always a perfect attitude. I won't die with my music still in me.
