Go Wild

Declare yourself crazy

All those weird ideas that people “won’t like?”

Permit yourself to execute on at least one today.

A personal one for me: I’m not wearing socks when I walk to and from the gym, I don’t care how cold it is outside.

Crazy? Maybe, but I don’t care today.

It may be the seed of a great idea, or my feet will just be uncomfortable

Either way, I can wake up tomorrow and be sane again.

No worries.

Give Yourself Freedom

Declare yourself crazy

One reason why we don’t unleash our full selves is that we are worried about how the rest of the world thinks.

You know who doesn’t care? “Crazy” people.

So, I’ll give you an easy out.

Today, call yourself crazy.

That noise you make when you do something well?

Do it.

Anytime someone looks your way after, just tell them your crazy and walk away.

Two things will happen:

  • You’ll start feeling more comfortable in your skin, improving the work that you do
  • Your coworkers may decide to start getting crazy too.

If everyone is comfortable with themselves, they start getting uncomfortable with routine.

That’s where the fun happens.

Oh…Thanks @amznjsn

Take a crazy idea and take it seriouslyJason Mowatt

Whenever I used to hear this from Jason I used to nod, think it was cool and let it pass.

Now, I see it for the genius it really is.

What makes that statement so powerful is that it factors in some great points about executing.

  • People don’t settle on one idea; they craft ideas often.
  • Stable and “normal” ideas are boring.
  • Great ideas looked like bad ideas at the time.
  • Persistence is rare.
  • The world needs your vision, because it’s missing something without it.

He is great at what he does…and, if you happen to love karaoke, well…he made this.
