Visionaries Don’t Mind Being Called Crazy

What is this unholy fascination our culture has with being reasonable?

 The Sistine Chapel and the Mona Lisa and The Moonwalk and the electric car have all been created by unrealistic and highly unreasonable people.

 Do not dishonor your genius by neglecting your intuition. Fantastic opportunities are often hard to get back, once refused.

Trust your gut, I humbly recommend. Heed your instincts. They are so much smarter than the limited suggestions of logic.

My latest book “The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I’m absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your positivity, productivity, wellness, and happiness. You can order it now by clicking here.

The suffering creates an intimacy with your best self and your weaker self and your shadow selfcstarts to get burned off if you choose not to be a victim. If you go into the pain, the pain can be acgreat servant. The next step is really integration. You start to realize who you are. You start tocconnect with your talent. You start to find the great call on your life, what I call your mightyccause. See, the average person has a tiny cause. They sleep too much, they drink too much, theyceat too much, they talk too much, they waste time because they're bored. They have no mightyccause that defines and inspires their life. But when you find that cause, maybe it's to be a greatcteacher, a great filmmaker, a great manager, a great mom, a great taxi driver, a great chef, thatcfuels this obsession. An obsession is only an unhealthy thing if it's an unhealthy obsession. Youcknow, the other morning I got up at five and I was watching the speeches of Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, John F. Kennedy, the man on the moon speech. You know what? He actually said, we're going to put a man on the moon before the materials for that spacecraft had ever been created. You talk about a visionary. But what I want to dial in on was I saw Martin Luther King's last speech. It was the speech he gave the day before he died, before he was killed, before he was assassinated. And that was the speech. You've heard it. It's the one where he said, I have seen the promised land. I may not get there with you, but I've seen the promised land. That man had detected his mighty cause. That man said, until you have found something you are willing to die for, you're not fit to live. And so I just want to remind you about the importance of resisting average. One thing about every billionaire that I've worked with, every great performer, every great visionary, Every great artist and every great entrepreneur, were all ridiculed before they were revered. The very nature of resisting average and ascending to world-class means you will be called eccentric. People will think you're strange. People will call you bizarre. You will be misunderstood. Being misunderstood is the price of legendary. Why?Because if you're behaving like everyone else, you're going to get the results that most people have. And most people don't have epic results. So when you stray from the crowd and start installing the right mindsets, behaviors, habits, values, you'll be called different. That's the price of living your true life. And I'm gonna challenge you. Today is the day to start living that life, thinking those thoughts, installing the right habits, being true to your values, getting up early, playing at world class, being a student of your craft. Surrounding yourself not with energy vampires, but with people whose lives you want to be living. Putting in your mind not toxic influences like violent movies, violent commercials, violent conversations. Putting in your mind beautiful information, inspiring information, valuable information, and creating a life that really serves you and your loved ones and respects your talents so you can go out into the world and bring it on. And that's my great wish for you.
