CRAZY YET AMAZING...

"My Psychiatrist told me i was crazy and i said i want a second opinion. He said okay, you're ugly too...Rodney Dangerfield.

I watched a movie called "Love don't cost a thing" featuring popular comic Nick Canon when i was growing up and he kind of exhibited a reflection of me, at least some part of me. Many of us could be clowns sometimes, especially when we are trying to impress people. make kids laugh or simply exude innocence, naivety or lack of bias, i think it has to come naturally though.

In the movie, Canon was a brilliant and focused kid who had a humble background, in fact he was so dedicated to his school project that people saw him as a crazy freak, guess what, even his parents feared for his fate, especially his kid sister who constantly pestered and haunted his shaky personalty.

"A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am i or are others crazy?

Anyway, his luck changed when he met a distressed girl who was way out of his league who also happened to have crashed her mother's car and had no money to fix it before she discovered it.

Canon offered to sacrifice all the money he saved for a dream project to help her fix her car on one condition that she'd pretend to date him in school. The long and short of it was, apparently it became a worthwhile gamble as Canon became popular and his freaky swag became not only recognized but also got adopted by the entire school.

"The truth is you don't know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride, and nothing is guaranteed...Eminem.

My point? amazing things happen when we follow through on our crazy ideas, you'll never really know where it'll lead you. I'm not giving a guaranty that you'll consistently succeed, but even when you fail, you'll fail forward if you have the right attitude. Of course the people friendly recommended one is the PMA (Positive Mental Attitude).

We need to see the world as beautiful, yes even the monkeys are beautiful in their mother's eyes.

But when you look around you in the world of today, it is filled with virtual madness, ranging from obsession with vanity, lack of brotherly love, greed, inferiority complex and insecurities to myopic government policies.

The truth is, life is probably perfect the way it is, full of challenges and uncertainties, forcing us to leave our comfort zones, and further forging us to be as great as we can be in proportion to our so called sickened environment, ridden with disasters and environmental degradation that has birthed the heroism in us. It really is crazy, but it is also equally amazing that we are not only survivors, but we are more than conquerors.
