Not Crazy, But Committed

Introduction

Have you ever been called crazy? I know I have. You know, that person that seems to be out of touch with reality, or that one that perceives something is possible when others don't. Well I am here to tell you don't let being called crazy stop you. Sure there are times when having an idea and acting on it may seem outlandish but more times than not those ideas come to fruition. But sometimes that's just what it takes to be successful. What about the Wright Brothers? They said humans would fly, and no one believed them! Or Thomas Edison who told us we could harness energy from a bulb for light. All these ideas sounded like crackpot ideas at the time but not anymore. So if you're called crazy for pursuing your dream then wear that badge proudly and keep going. One day your skeptics will realize you were right all along--you were committed, not crazy!

Have you ever been called crazy? I know I have.

I know what it’s like to be called crazy.

It’s not fun. It can be especially painful to hear that you are crazy, when in fact you know that your thoughts and feelings make perfect sense. You feel as if there is some invisible force working against your best interests and holding you back from achieving your goals—and no one else seems to notice it!

I have had many conversations with people who tell me they have been called “crazy” or another word with a similar connotation: “weirdo,” “oddball,” or even just “different.” And then I tell them that they aren't crazy; they are simply committed to following their inner voice instead of the societal norms around them.

You know, that person that seems to be out of touch with reality, or that one that perceives something is possible when others don't.

I'm talking about that person who seems to be out of touch with reality. That one that perceives something is possible when others don't.

You know, the one who doesn't know if they're crazy or not (but it doesn't matter). That one that sees a vision of what could be and believes it so strongly that they're willing to risk everything for it. The one who has a dream and will do whatever it takes to make it come true.

It's crazy because most people won't understand how someone could believe in themselves so much or think they can achieve such goals without any sort of support from those around them or even from themselves at times! But there is no other way to describe this type of person: You are not just "crazy." You are committed!

Well I am here to tell you don't let being called crazy stop you.

I am here to tell you don't let being called crazy stop you. You are not crazy because of your thoughts, feelings and behaviors around your mama. You are not alone in this journey of having a person who has mental illness as part of your life or family.

It's not easy to deal with and it is painful but it’s something that we can do together as women supporting each other against the stigma created around mental health issues in our communities. I see so many things wrong with the way black women treat each other when they find out someone has real problems with their mind or even physical health issues like diabetes, heart disease or cancer; especially if they think she is depressed about something else like her finances or relationship status without knowing what’s really going on inside that person's head first!

But sometimes that's just what it takes to be successful.

But sometimes that's just what it takes to be successful.

There are many people who would consider themselves "crazy," but they're not the type of crazy that leads to success. They're the kind of person who spends all of their time collecting wildflowers or trying to figure out how many hours you need to walk around the earth before you can get back home again. These things are interesting, but they aren't useful when it comes down to results and hard work. You don't want someone who is simply crazy; what you need is someone who has a willingness and determination to work hard until they achieve their goals—and even then, maybe not stop there!

So if you're going for success in your business or career and are ready for a little bit more than just average results: go ahead and be committed! Because being committed isn't just about giving up your free time; it's about working toward something bigger than yourself every single day. And if you do this with everything from your job performance at work (or whatever else needs doing) all the way up through setting goals like buying your first house or starting retirement savings accounts early enough so that they grow significantly over time while still allowing plenty of room for error when something goes wrong (which happens more often than not).

What about the Wright Brothers? They said humans would fly, and no one believed them! Or Thomas Edison who told us we could harness energy from a bulb for light. All these ideas sounded like crackpot ideas at the time but not anymore.

When you think about it, there are a lot of examples of people who were committed to their ideas despite being labeled crazy for them. What about the Wright Brothers? They said humans would fly, and no one believed them! Or Thomas Edison who told us we could harness energy from a bulb for light. All these ideas sounded like crackpot ideas at the time but not anymore.

Nowadays planes are everywhere, trains run on electricity (well…mostly) and our cars are powered by gas or electricity! It’s crazy to think that just 100 years ago these things weren’t even possible! And yet they were all made into reality by people who were committed to making them come true despite what others thought about them.

So if you're called crazy for pursuing your dream then wear that badge proudly and keep going. One day your skeptics will realize you were right all along--you were committed, not crazy!

If they tell you to shut up and stop dreaming, don't listen to them. You're not crazy, but you are committed! If they tell you that it's too late in life to make a change, then prove them wrong by doing something about it right now!

Conclusion

So next time someone calls you crazy, ask them to explain why they think your dream is impossible. And I can guarantee that when you give them the facts, they'll change their mind. You see, everyone has a dream or something that others may consider out of this world. The difference between the people who achieve greatness and those who don't is the ability to execute that dream with commitment and passion. This list of five examples proves that it's possible for anyone to accomplish what others say is impossible if they're willing to pay the price in pursuit of their dreams!
