MY GREATEST RACE: “THE RACE OF LIFE”

Submitter’s Note: Craig is presently working on his latest novel ‘The
(My) Greatest Race’. These are some notes (some thoughts on the ‘spiritual
and writing journeys’ – some from authors unknown) that I’ve collected and
jotted down over the years. So will share with you. Enjoy…
*

A Creed (to live by):

* Treat ALL people with respect * Be responsible and accountable (for our
actions) * Do your best * Never give up * Don’t take life too seriously

The principles you live by create the world you live in.

Every problem has a spiritual solution.

# I write to impel some kind of ACTION in readers.

# I try to show the extra-ordinary in ‘ordinary’ (what’s that?)
lives, as revealed by strength of character, resilience, the depths of courage
and especially the immense generosity of spirit of so many “ordinary” (what’s
that?!) people, as they struggle along daily with what is called the journey of
life.

# I want to write true stories *, inspiring a thread (or threads) of hope and
especially the power of LOVE (no ‘Mills and Boon type stories, now please,
craig). True stories of renewal and transformation, a new heart… “From Seeds
Of Hope (planting) to Endless Possibilities, Far and Great Horizons“.

* Also with underlying themes of justice, hope, peace and especially love.

Our goal in life is to create the perfect conditions for the full flowering
of our essential self??

Knowing that you have made a difference will keep you strong.

Each one of us can choose to do the highest good for the greatest number of
people.

Sow plentiful seeds to break down barriers…one mind, one heart, one soul,
one life at a time.

Know where you WANT to be… and who and what you want to become.

Many small (yet significant) steps by many ‘ordinary’ (what’s that?) people
will eventual reach their destination.

Let Your spirit shine through words Embrace the light and shine YOUR own
bright light for humanity.

“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 so become champions of their own lives in striving for and perhaps one sunny day even achieve their wildest dreams.”

Change YOUR world and you help change THE world… for the better”
