Good Morning MOJO,

I know what they're telling you…”You're nuts, crazy, a dreamer, and it's just not possible to do what you've got in mind”.

I know that's what they're saying because that's what they always tell anyone who tries to do the unthinkable and make their dream happen…Always!!!!! Because you're not supposed to want your dream....you're supposed to want their dream...the one your parents keep pushing, your culture supports, your friends chase. The one the media keeps insisting is "right".

So they all swear "you're crazy!" when you tell them what you want and what you're going to do. They argue you're wrong, criticize you, and line up critics and anyone else they can find to convince you to "knock it off!" because "you're making such a huge mistake!" And they come up with penalties and punishments to make sure you hurt like hell if you dare try and break free, dare try and be different from the herd...and they plead with you to "come to your senses!"

"Be happy with what you've got," they whine, "it's not so bad. Enjoy it! This is as good as it gets! Come on, just go along and be like everybody else...there's nothing you can do about it anyway...this is just the way life goes so get with the program!" they say, half-smiling...hoping they have scared you and stopped you from ever doing that "crazy thing" you keep talking about doing, that "crazy thing” that nags at you and drives you crazy and will keep driving you crazy until you finally do it.

That crazy thing they do not want you to do because if they can't stop you...you'll be free. Running your own life and controlling your own destiny. And they'll lose any control they have over you and who you are and what you do. That's why they tear you down and tell you you're crazy and try and stop you…that and the fact that they're scared to death to do their own dream, to be different, to go for what they really want. And it's a lot easier to tear you down and keep you in the same old box they're stuck in than deal with their fears and get themselves free.

You know that dream you've got?...yeah, that one. Trust me...it's in your head because it's supposed to happen. And no, you're not crazy to go for it...you'd be crazy if you didn't. The crazy people are the ones who keep telling you to play it safe.

But life's way too short for that and you know it...because your days are going by in a blur and your weeks are disappearing into months…your months into years. Don't put off what you know you've got to do to be happy. Do it, now, while you still can. And while you're making it happen, imagine the look on their face as they tell you, in all seriousness, "I always knew you could do it!"

Make it a great week and make it happen!!!!
