There are times when we want to move forward but can’t because we feel like we are taking a step too far. We need to know that sometimes it is OK to push the envelope.
“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels? While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”— Apple Commercial, 1997

Hey Gene,
Perfect, I sooo needed this, TODAY!
I’ve been feeling like that square peg more and more lately, this opened my eyes to possibilities. It IS hard swimming against the current, being the trail blazer, even if it’s just in our own families.
As I tapped along, I changed the wording to “me” and “I” instead of “them” and “you”. Really drove it home. I feel inspired, charged, rarin’ to go!
Thank you!!!
