Own Your Crazy!
Let me preface this by saying that Life is beautiful! There are things in life that we prefer and there are things in life that we could go without. There are places in life that we would love to find ourselves in and there are situations we find ourselves that we absolutely DO NOT like. We find ourselves in downward spirals as we are going perpetually up.
The streets we decide to travel and go down are going to have turbulence that we wouldn't ever consider, but there's a reward worth obtaining once we endure that turbulence. Once we've travelled far enough down the street, we can sometimes turn around and realize that we were not the same person we were when we started going down those streets. For some, this is something we already know was going to happen. For others, we were absolutely flabbergasted at the contrast of the people we were at the beginning of the street verses the people we become down that particular street. Either way, somewhere along the way, we found something absolutely CRAZY about our journey and the transformations of it.
Take for instance going to school. For those that want to go to school and are looking forward to the experience, they may have a pretense and notion about what their school journey is going to be like. Whether elementary school, high school, college, university or otherwise; future students may have an idea of what the life avenue of their school is going to be like. They have an idea of what their social within school is going to be like. They have an idea of some of the classes they may be taking or the educators that may be teaching them. They may have an idea of kind of curriculum or electives they may take and/or major in. And they most definitely will have an idea of what the end of the school experience is going to be like and what their life will look like once they've "mastered" the avenue of 'school' in their life. But somewhere down the line, students are going to look back and realize one of two things (if not both): they've done and been through some pretty crazy things in their lives and they've had to become some rather crazy ass people (pardon the french, but it's just the best way for me to get this point across 😅😅😅). Moreover, students have probably never thought that they would ever become certain types of people because their sense of being that person to them was crazy.
Carl Jung I believe was the one who came up with the "shadow" side of a person...or that side of a person one leaves and/or operates "in the dark"...or in otherwise, private matters in private spaces (physically and spiritually). Many may argue that the shadow side of person can be crazy because it's otherwise outside of what would be "ordinary" ... And why not? Most of what we have made of the world was "crazy" at one point. Ideas normally start out like that. Businesses normally start out like that. A new chapter in someone's story when they are exploring a new hobby or exercising a new perspective practice of life start out like that. Crazy! Absolutely 100% CRAZY!
So why not own it? You never know what crazy idea can turn out to be something that the world could use to make their lives easier. You never know what crazy adventure has regarding events that you never thought you would be a part of. You never know how crazy good it could be to try something a little off what you would ordinarily do to see what kind of crazy results you get that could be altogether favorable or benevolent. Don't ever be afraid to go a little outside of what you already know or what you already do and explore how crazy something good can turn out in your favor or how crazy something otherwise bad can turn out to be one of the best lessons you've ever learned in your life. So why not just own your crazy before anyone can use it against you?
Let your crazy be something you own because that's where the best of your authenticity will find you and that crazy authenticity is what the world will also find... any why not? Do what they won't...and be absolutely crazy about it!💚💚💚
