“The task ahead of you can always be overcome by the power within you…and the often seemingly difficult or even “impassible”) path ahead of you is never as steep with the great spirit that lies within you.”
“We have it within; but we get it all from without. There is a well-spring of strength, wisdom, courage and great imagination within each one of us; but once we draw on this truth, it gets watered from without, by a Higher Source – the Ultimate Source of Life and Love, which is God, the very Ground of our Being.”

About craig lock
About the Author
Craig has a 'passion' for writing books that tell stories about people doing positive things in this often so hard, sometimes unkind world, occasionally cruel, yet always amazing world - true stories that leave the reader feeling uplifted, empowered and hopefully even inspired.
Craig Lock loves to encourage and empower people to be the best they can possibly be, and to create what they want in life. Craig has learnt plenty from the "school of life" (still "battered and bruised") and also from a few "hard knocks on the head". He is an extensive world traveller (on a "shoestring budget") and failed professional emigrater who has spent most of his life’s savings on airfares. He is still sliding down the razor blade of life on the beautiful undiscovered island that is New Zealand, somewhere near the bottom (rude!) of the world near Antarctica. There he talks to the 60 million sheep! Craig has been involved in the corporate world (life assurance) for "many moons". However, through a rather strange (and unique) set of circumstances and finding himself in a small town near the bottom of the world ...and with nothing else to do, he started writing. That was five years ago. Five published books later and having written another twenty manuscripts (now 300 + on widely differing subjects - well what else is there to do here?)... this is where Craig is in the "journey/adventure" that is life. Craig has run a run a successful creative writing course (not teaching sheep!) at the local Polytechnic. He was the author of (as far as we know) the first creative writing course on the internet. He has many varied interests and passions and is particularly interested in the field of psychology – studying the human mind and what makes different people "tick-tock grandfather clock". He is fascinated by the "overlap between psychology and the dimension of spirituality".
One of his missions in life is helping people make the most of their hidden potential and so finding their niche in life... so that they are happy.
Craig’s various books probably tell more about his rather "eventful" life best (no one could believe it!). He writes books with serious messages and themes, then as a contrast "rather crazy, wacky stuff"…to keep him sane here. As an ‘anonymouse’ person wrote: "All of us are born mad; some of us remain so."
Well nothing else much happens in quiet provincial New Zealand, other than headlines like "Golf Ball Thrown at Policeman" and "Beach Toilet Closed for Season.". True!

This is craig and this is a quick word of sincere thanks to you ALL. I came
across the following post from international best-selling author, Bryant
McGill on his Facebook page, which I felt “inspired” to share. Bryant’s
writing summed up/put these thoughts far better than “lazy-bones” I ever
could have done, so am sharing these beautifully-written and heart-felt
sentiments in the same spirit (through copy and paste ( CONTROL C AND
V)
Personalized, “adapted” and abbreviated (edited) from
https://www.facebook.com/bryantmcgill/
Thanks (sincerely) for “the borrow” Bryant.
“Be bold and unseen forces come to one’s aid”
This is a personal message to ALL you good people around the world, who
follow my various blog pages and posts and read and comment my various
writings on WordPress and in my books. I want you to know that I really
appreciate all of you. I would love to respond to nearly every comment. I
can’t do that; however I do care that you take the time to read (and absorb)
what I’ve written and may even have commented. I do read as many
comments on my 200 + blogs as I can, but probably have missed countless
thoughts of yours, so have not replied. Sorry and thanks for the
understanding.
“Just as you grow and learn, I am also growing and learning from you
all…and really like people to THINK.”
I just felt compelled to let you know that I really appreciate you for reading
and perhaps following my various writings. Never think for a moment, that
just because I don’t respond to comments or messages that I am not paying
attention. I am paying attention and I am grateful.
I am a full-time writer, which means you are a very important part of my life.
I wish all of you the freedom, respect and happiness you each deserve. Thank
you all for being a part of my life. Your presence, feedback and contribution
“out there in cyberspace” has added immeasurable to my ‘little’ life here in
“isolated and far-off Sleepy Hollow”, near the bottom of the world and
through the medium of the net we can be and remain connected in spirit.

Hi
CAN’T KEEP UP…BUT THANKS FOR THE “THANX”
I’ve had many many hundreds of thousands (“zillions”) of comments on my various other WordPress blogs at https://craigsblogs.wordpress.com/2011/09/09/craigs-list-of-blogs-updated-sept-2011/
in recent years …true!) …a few of my blogs went “balistically viral” a few years back.
Obsessive or WHAT! Am really pleased you are enjoying my writings, as the reason I write is to share. However I am unable to keep up with the comments and was spending entire days just on replies on my various blog pages.
Though I’m rather “driven”, I still get really, really fatigued (there’s a few books there). so sorry can’t reply individually to all you good people scattered around the planet, but DO try to read as many as possible daily (and even moderate a few when I get a “mo”), I got swamped with comments on my various blogs, so have had to close them off on all of my blogs, except for one or two of particular interest to me
