Are You Crazy?

What do you do when you feel you know your life’s purpose, but it seems everyone thinks you’re crazy?  What does it take to keep going in the face of overwhelming odds?

There are really two choices.  The first is to give up.  If everyone thinks you’re crazy, they must be right, right?  I mean, just because this thing, whatever it is, makes your heart skip a beat every time you think about it doesn’t make it right. Just because you can’t sleep at night thinking about it, doesn’t make it all that important.

Well, you can take everyone else’s opinion and declare it true, but then you might miss out on what your true heart’s desire is.  Is it worth the risk?  If this thing is something that you can’t seem to get away from and you have given it much thought, then I would be fairly confident in assuming that this is your mission, your heart’s desire.

The second thing you can do is join the ranks of people like Henry Ford and Thomas Edison and know that your mission, your purpose is what you must do, no matter what, no matter who thinks you are less than sane.  Many of those who were great inventors or true visionaries had a bunch of people saying that they were crazy.  Many of them were laughed at on the streets, some thrown out of their homes.  They didn’t let this deter then. They went ahead with what they felt called to do. 

What is your calling?  What is your purpose for being here on this planet at this time?
