A few years ago, I developed a
mission statement for my work and life that has really helped
me to focus on what I want to accomplish with my life. "In
my own small way, I hope my published (and perhaps spoken) words
reach out to touch, help, reassure, strengthen, support and
inspire.
My life mission is through my writing to inform, illuminate, uplift, delight and hopefully even inspire people around the world by sharing my life experiences and thoughts... through empowering others to be the best person they can possibly be through my words, actions and life."
The activities that have given me the most personal fulfillment, and through which I achieve a feeling of importance (my "calling or purpose", if you will), are those things through which I share my knowledge and insights with others. I've been able to achieve that through my "passion" for words in the form of the books I've written.
I see myself primarily as a salesperson
and compassionate capitalist, "selling" hope, faith
and love (well isn't that the only form of security we as humans
can attain in an ever-changing and uncertain world?)

"My
writing mission is through my words to inform, illuminate,
entertain, uplift, delight, as well as hopefully even inspiring
people. I aim to do this by sharing my knowledge and life
experiences - through supporting, encouraging and empowering
others to be the best person they can possibly be."
"I
truly want to let the light shine through my words to impact
and help others...to inspire people throughout our (sometimes
happy and sometimes dark and sad, yet always beautiful and
magical) world."
"My
desire and writing aim, in fact my life mission, is to warm
people's hearts and expand the incredible potential of their
minds, their horizons. I hope to do this through encouraging
people to cherish their talents and realise the uniqueness
of their gifts, ones that can make the world a better place
by their presence. Our mission in life is perhaps to better
the lives of others...and in doing so, our life is made
better." ----- Craig Lock

My main desire is to see other people
happy by fulfilling their undoubted potential and realizing their
"God-given" talents and gifts (and every single one
of us on this planet has something special to offer to the world
and is able to make SOME difference, even though we may not know
it...nor HOW to do it!).
When people do this and find their
TRUE PURPOSE in life they become inspired with hope, faith and
most importantly, LOVE... and this, I believe is the key to happiness.
Doing this going down my life's path will make me very very happy!
These following words could have been written by me... but they are so good, and reveal my purpose -- my life mission -- better than I could write... so thought I'd share with you...

"As for
special skills, strengths, and unique experiences to write
about, I'm
sure I have many that will come out eventually. By far
my biggest strength is my
own inner strength and positive attitude, and a desire
to help people to discover
this in themselves. I believe that we are all ultimately
in control of our lives and
of who we are. No dream is unobtainable if we stay positive
and focused, seize
opportunity, and are prepared to put in the work to make
it happen.
Suffering hardship
can be an opportunity for growth, and with the right attitude,
a faith in yourself and in life, and plenty of strength,
you can choose not to be a
victim, but a winner.
The strength
and faith have many sources - other people, God, and so
on, but
the richest spring is within ourselves. We all have it
and if we can tap into it
there is nothing that cannot be overcome and nothing that
cannot be achieved.
It is not,
however, always easy to find, and if I can reach even
one person with this message and it helps them to improve
their life, then I will achieved something special. ----

Craig,
I can't believe you are hiding where no one can find you.
You need to connect with as many people as possible so
you are easy to find. EVERYONE here needs to hear about
your slide down the razor blade of life....
Come out and play with the people instead of the sheep
or no one here will ever learn about you.
Let's
connect,
