About craig lock
www.craiglockbooks.com www.creativekiwis.com 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! from http://www.selfgrowth.com/experts/craig_lock.html For Craig’s books see AMAZON at http://www.amazon.com/-/e/B005GGMAW4 ... but rather GO to www.creativekiwis.com All proceeds go to the needy and underprivileged… and a charity (most worthy-Bill and I) “When the writer is no more , the value of your purchase will soar! “ www.craigsquotes.wordpress.com “Together, one mind, one life (one small step at a time), let’s see how many people (and lives) we can encourage, impact, empower, enrich, uplift and perhaps even inspire to reach their fullest potentials…and strive for and perhaps one sunny day even achieve their wildest dreams.” PPS Don’t worry about the world ending today… as it’s already tomorrow in scenic and tranquil ‘little’ New Zealand

Sharing some Information and Thoughts on Head and Brain Injury 
How about a fall and rise? Never mind my reliance on Government Benefit at the moment, I was hit by a car… I had a massive head injury… I practically died!
Yet I wrote an inspiring book about #life #death #resurrection #horses – written to bring hope where there is only despair. Find it on Amazon at http://ow.ly/DKc3l

Thanks for the comment, Philip
Never ever give up HOPE!
from https://headbraininjury.wordpress.com/2017/12/08/never-ever-give-up-hope/
I feel, no matter how dire a situation, hope is the key, as well as viewing our difficulties as challenges to be overcome along life’s journey, as well as offering opportunities to grow.
We mustn’t have a victim attitude. NEVER! No matter what has happened to us, there are always new beginnings and new opportunities. Each one of us has positive attributes and we must not let our difficulties define us. They are merely challenges to overcome and you can develop strategies to compensate for these deficits. No matter how significant the injury, never think you are disabled… because disability is a state of mind.
“Don’t let what you can’t do stop you from doing what you can do…best.”

I started a diary in hospital: a memory for me if I lived, a remembrance for my family if I died. I read it to friends and they laughed – a lot! Write a book, one said, so I did… It was written for me, to help me come to terms with what happened to me. Then I realised it would help people going through a head injury. Then it dawned on me. I never once told the reader what to do. My trauma was a head injury and the book tells of what I did to overcome my troubles, but the book could be adapted by the reader to give them hope; to help them come to terms with their trauma. I shared my story and hoped to supporting the reader; give them information to light up their future by entertaining them with an inspiring and true story that would encourage, empower and enrich their lives. To give them hope for a brighter future 🙂
