Nutrition cut through the dietary confusion and
contradiction for you.
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
ability to be able to get in shape for events (weddings, parties, reunions
and birthdays), if only we'd get in shape for life.

Have you ever noticed how incredibly capable, creative, resourceful, productive, fearless and resilient people can be when they have to? Why is it that in certain situations some people are able to produce amazing results and do things that they've never even considered doing before - seemingly, with ease? Mostly it's because they find themselves in a situation which dictates that they either (1) find a way to survive and thrive or (2) capitulate (do or die); which could mean anything from the loss of a marriage or business, to the loss of a life. And being that we're all equipped with a pretty serious survival instinct, it's quite often the dire and the catastrophic which brings out the best in people; the weak become miraculously strong, the apathetic become focused and driven and the fearful find courage they never knew they had.
When backed into a corner, we invariably see "normal" people doing "abnormal" things; in the process ignoring and overcoming all kinds of fears, phobias, emotional issues and self-imposed limitations - because they have no choice (or that's what they believe anyway). It's amazing what we can do when we have to.
What a pity so many of us wait and waste.
The Dormant Genius
Just ask the people who were affected by the recent Victorian bushfires. Where did they find the strength, courage, resourcefulness, intelligence and drive to survive not only the horror of the fires, but the reality of life after the event? The truth is that the ability to overcome, to triumph and to do those amazing (seemingly super-human) things was always there; it just wasn't being used. Since the fires we (here in Victoria) have heard one story after another of incredible feats of survival, ingenuity, bravery and determination.
Sometimes "amazing" is a choice.
In fact, mostly.
Wasting What we've Got
It's sad that so many of us spend the majority of our lives not using what we've been given; tolerating an existence of mediocrity, compromise and under-achieving because on some level, we're too fearful, too lazy, too disorganised and too set-in-our-ways to get uncomfortable, to take a chance and to really explore our potential.
Cutting to the Chase
As you might guess, I love this topic and I could easily waffle on for another thousand words or so and regale you with numerous inspirational stories of ordinary people who have done extraordinary things but I'm gonna save me some writing time and you some reading time and tell you that today's "take home message" is that we all have vast reserves of untapped talent and potential. All of us - even you. The ability to produce amazing outcomes and do things we've never dreamt of is in all of us. And no, this is not some feel-good, self-help waffle, this is a truth that you can exploit or ignore. The key is to not wait for the catastrophe.
That is, be pro-active not reactive.
The bad news is that most people will spend the next decade wasting (much of) their time and talent. The good news is... you don't need to be part of the majority.
