Really didn't think too much about it until I heard someone else calling something they were doing 'crazy'. It made me stop and think. I didn't think what they were doing was crazy; I was actually very impressed with what they were doing; it was something I had never done; something out of the ordinary for most people... It doesn't really matter *what* it was..... but to describe it as 'crazy' ??? Yes, something I completely understand doing.... but never would I use the term for this person for this event...
So, hmmmm, is that what others might think about me.... Maybe although whatever event that I just signed up for... yeah, swimming comes to mind... that is totally out of my comfort zone... that seems completely crazy to me; maybe others don't think it is.... And really, who cares what others think anyway? But, what about what I think about what I'm doing? Is it really crazy. I know I have fun with it and put it out there, but, hmmm what do I really think. I guess calling it crazy might help justify doing it; might help set me up for potential failure; might actually help get me to try it in the first place.
But in all seriousness ... and who wants to be serious all the time, (so having fun with 'crazy' is fine)... but the absolute truth is ~ a goal... any goal... whether you succeed the first time, or the second... or maybe not just yet ~ that goal, because it is your goal should not ever be considered really and truly crazy.
Set a goal.. yup, any goal, make a plan, try; keep trying; succeed; make another goal; repeat. The only really crazy thing is never making that goal in the first place.
