The Greatest Race

The Greatest Race — BooKs by cRaig loCk

“If a man is called to be a street-sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well, that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.”

– Dr Martin Luther King, Jr.

Stepping out of depression is no easy task.   Delving into oneself to contemplate finding the energy to deal with an abyssal, yawning day requires true grit.  Those casually tossed platitudes, fake smiles and fake interest in the face of someone’s despair?  Forget them. It’s best left unsaid.  A depressed person is wise to those ways, knowing full well the sway of good and bad days.  On a positive day though, having a negative Nancy rain on one’s foray into perceived sunshine, can be quite daunting.

Sometimes, all that is required before a steep spiral descent into misery is a simple but firm “No”.  As Jessica Moore puts it, “Having healthy boundaries not only requires being able to say “no”, but also being willing and able to enforce that “no” when necessary.”
Step away from toxicity. Put the phone down if you have to, the situation can be re-visited later…

Don’t worry about the world ending today

it’s already tomorrow in scenic and tranquil ‘little’ New Zealand

here, we write

I hope this year you stop hurting yourself. I hope you stop not choosing to eat that burger and fries you’ve been dying to eat. I hope you stop dying at night by endless tears and unrequited love. I hope you stop fantasizing about a boy who will never come back. I hope that you stop looking at yourself like a door mat. I hope you stop accepting the words the world like to throw at your face. I hope you stop paying attention to undeserved labels and destructive criticisms: She’s too young. She’s too shy. She does not deserve that place. She is not worth it. She’s too immature. She has nothing to say. She’s too big. She’s too small. She’s too fat. She’s too skinny. She’s too silent. She’s too loud. I hope you stop chewing, digesting, and making these words part of yourself because no one can…

Blog for Passion, Not for Accolades—The Secret to Longevity in Blogging

“Passion always wins”

Motivation & Environment

Eventually, it will happen: after a period of doing something you love, you’ll lose interest and even forget why you started doing it in the first place. Whether it’s a calling, a career, or a relationship, you’ll start to lose passion and feel trapped.

Generally speaking, when you are doing anything for passion, at some point, you will likely experience a loss of interest; surprisingly, almost every person does: musicians experience this; sportspeople experience this; entrepreneurs experience this; bloggers and writers do too.

It happens to the most gifted people: along the journey of their calling, they lose steam and start to harbor thoughts of breaking up with their passions. Even if they achieve success, they eventually get to a point where their success no longer matters much.

Why? Because the reason they followed their passions in the first place, was no longer able to continue motivating them. Along the…

Anita's Perspectives on Life.

Redefine Your Life

We may never know why some people seem immune to the slow, forward march of ageing. All we can do is admire their mind-boggling youthfulness from afar. It seems impossible, but “Full House” heartthrob John Stamos is 57 years old.

If not for those few white beard hairs, it’d be tough to guess that Keanu Reeves is 56. In fact, there’s a conspiracy theory that states Reeves is an immortal time traveller.

Our very own Anil Kapoor is an example of ever-young actors of Hindi cinema.

My perception of old age is inexplicably coming from my grandmother. When I was a kid, I thought a 55-year-old, grey-haired woman whose whole body swayed when she walked, was old. Now as I am reaching that age slowly my personal perception- or misperception- of old age is changing.

Many of us think while everyone our age is…
