The Ideas That Are Crazy

The ideas that are crazy. The ones that keep us up at night. The ones we haven’t told anyone about because they’re seriously that crazy. Those ideas? Those are the ones we need. Those stories are the ones that need telling. We need them for two reasons:

1. There has never been an idea that changed the world that wasn’t crazy.

2. There has never been an idea that changed the world that was comfortable.

Crazy and uncomfortable are two characteristics of an idea that scare us. We’re afraid because we understand that once we tell people about it, they won’t see the idea but only the crazy-uncomfortable-ness. Guess what? That’s a valid fear. That’s exactly what will happen. But let’s look at why that doesn’t matter. Two reasons:

1. There has never been an idea that changed the world that wasn’t crazy.

2. There has never been an idea that changed the world that was comfortable.

Edison, Franklin, Orville & Wilbur, Tesla: they had crazy and uncomfortable ideas. What if they had never told anybody? What it they let that uncomfortable fear stop them from making stuff?

The ideas that are crazy are the ones you need. They’re going to make you feel alive. The sooner we tell the world about it, the sooner we can all start to get over that fact that it’s uncomfortable and crazy.

Happy Thursday!
