I think there is a desire inside all of us to be accepted. We try to look, talk and think like everyone else. What happens? We become like everyone else. We hide who we are inside, in order to fit in with the herd. We lose what makes us great. Our personality, ambitions and style. We give up our originality so that we can become a carbon copy of what “we are supposed to be” in everyone else’s eyes. Frankly, we do this because we fear others will think we’re nuts. We worry that others will call us crazy.

Me, I refuse to be like everyone else. So go ahead and call me crazy.

In my opinion, if you are afraid of what others will think than you are the crazy one. No one that ever accomplished anything great or worth mentioning, cared what others would think of them. They didn’t wait for society to approve of their cause. They went against the grain. They stood up when no one else would. They risked looking foolish in order to follow their passion. If you look at what society wants you to be, you will never get very far. You have to step outside the box and follow your heart.

Why lose what makes you special? Why give up the things that make you great?

I can tell you why people don’t accomplish great things. It’s because they fear what others will think. That fear rules them and won’t allow them to step up and follow their heart. Too many people look just alike. Societies goal is to make us less crazy and conform us into their little ball. It doesn’t like it when you go outside the lines.

When I look back at my life, those crazy moments when I stood up for what I believed were the great ones. I don’t regret them even If I failed at what I was trying to accomplish.

If you are out there being called crazy, you just might be on the right track.
