A Piece Of Peace: Cheers To The Crazy Ones

Welcome to a Piece of Peace. Today’s topic is entitled “cheers to the crazy ones”. According to Steve Jobs, the ones, who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are usually the ones who do.

 Sometimes following your dreams might make you look crazy to a lot of people on the outside. It may cause certain groups of people to look at you with pity. 

Your desperate attempt to achieve the goals you believe has been outlined for you mean that you will find the journey to that goal is usually a very lonely one.

If you’ve never lost your mind then you’ve never followed your heart.  You can subsequently, make one of two choices.

1.    Be successful with a lot of enemies or

2.    Be a failure with a lot of friends.

You alone can decide what is important to you. But you certainly cannot have both. The only friends successful people have, are other equally successful people. The reality of our beautiful world is, everybody is an expert about your life. They can tell you exactly where it is you are going wrong, how badly you have messed up, what they would do if they were you and how much you are on the wrong path.

With all this expert life coaching tips they offer, they strangely cannot seem to apply that same advice to help themselves to be as successful as they think you ought to be.  Don’t underestimate anyone around you. Everyone has the power to surprise anyone at any point in time.  You will certainly not win every battle on this journey, but when you win, it will definitely be worth all the disappointment. So do not give in or give up.

People underestimate their capacity for change. There is never a right time to do a difficult thing. You just need to commit and see it through to the end.

Our tendency is to overestimate what we can accomplish in 1 year and underestimate what we can accomplish in 10 years.

You were born to be real, not to be perfect, you are here to be you not to be what someone else wants you to be. Stand up for yourself; look them in the eye and say don’t judge me until you know me and you can call me crazy for now but wait and see who has the last laugh.

So lets make a toast this Christmas season. Here is to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round heads in the square holes, the ones who see things differently. They are not fond of rules and they have no respect for the status quo.

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things. They push the human race forward and while some may see them as the crazy ones, I see genius because like Steve jobs said, the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who usually do!

So remember, be yourself, because everyone else is taken.

Much love,
