They recognize other crazies. The idea of being able to brainstorm with others who think as differently as you do gives you a greater chance of success. Crazy’s challenge one another’s beliefs.

The definition of crazy is: In a state of mind that prevents normal perception.

Good crazy is a special bug in the mental software. It’s when risk reward calculations don’t account for conformity.

Like when a young Steve Jobs looked up the biggest mogul in the computer industry in the phone book. He called Bill Hewlett and asked Bill to send him spare parts. For free!

Or when Ingvar Kamprad refused to deal with Swedish suppliers. Instead he went to Poland and came in bad standing with the entire Swedish industry. He didn’t care. His startup was Ikea.

Or when Henry Ford didn’t care about the power of the automobile industry. Henry Ford broke their patents and challenged the biggest name in the industry to race him.

If you are crazy and sometimes feel bad. Don’t. Actually, you should cherish and nurture it.

Great people don’t accomplish great things by thinking average. Great things are accomplished by believing in yourself first, believing that you’re the one who’s meant to make this thing happen.

If you look around, and listen very closely to what extreme achievers say, then you’ll see the small clues that demonstrate their belief system.

You see signs of this in EVERYONE who’s extremely successful. Even if they don’t say it in that way, they will say things like, “I literally feel like I’m creating the world around me.”

you feel like there’s nothing you can’t accomplish. There’s an inner story you tell yourself. And that story is that you’re born to win. You’re born to make things happen.

You develop a belief system that knows you’re brilliant, different, and maybe even destined to change the world. This special sense of destiny evolves into a delusional state of mind.

Extreme Achievers don’t just feel like they’re born to win, they make it so it’s inevitable that they will.

The only difference between successful delusion and crazy people delusion is that successful people are practical about their delusions. Crazy people are delusional about what they think will happen and then they stop their.

It’s not enough to just think you’re going to accomplish something, you have to get extremely practical about how you’re going to accomplish it.

You should have no desire to be average. You should have no desire to think and act like everyone else if you want to accomplish great things.

No matter how many people make fun of your insane level of belief, you realize that they’re just making fun of it because they don’t have that belief in themselves.

Successful people are delusional because that’s what makes them great.

Crazy people make great bets. A good bet is one where you can win more than you can lose.

They create new boxes for normal people to think inside of. it is as “crazy” and mind blowing as making something that already exist better. By thinking differently, crazy people like kids use the power of their imagination to power their way to success.

They are too foolish to be scared. When crazy people set goals for themselves, they aren’t concerned with the “what if” possibility of failure.

They strive for authenticity. Crazy people develop their own sense of style and paint the portrait of life exactly the way they see it. This ability to be original has seen many crazies achieve success by developing life skills that normal people would call a bad habit or simply absurd.

They have high energy. Crazies however have all the time, passion and energy in the world. They dedicate themselves to a craft and work tirelessly to develop their skills. This intent focus and energy definitely gives them an advantage for success.

They dare to break the rules. Crazies understand that while rules are important, they can be limiting. It is this ability to question authority without disrespect that makes the crazies more likely to be successful.

They invent out of necessity. Their unusual minds help them view the world from a different perspective than normal people.Crazies embody the old adage, “necessity is the mother of all inventions.

They are always curious. Crazies have the minds of kids, constantly asking why. Their minds are insatiable and they are not afraid to follow the rabbit hole no matter how deep down it goes.

They are like a dog with a bone. Crazy people become obsessed with certain problems and how to solve them. They become so engrossed that no matter how impossible a task supposedly is, they will always find a way.

They don’t label. By not labelling others, crazies are able to surround themselves with an extremely diverse group of talent and unlock the human potential and ability for action.

They challenge the word “no”. They constantly challenge every single person that dares to tell them no.

They listen intently and take notes. Talking too much is what is killing your success. Crazy successful people listen to what others have to say, and then they filter out what is not relevant to their mission.

They take time to chill out. Every successful person I have met spends time scheduling travel to escape the patterns and routines they have become so accustomed to.

They inspire people. The final thing these crazy, insane, passionate, successful people do differently is inspire people. A conversation with them is uplifting and it changes the way you think. They create a feeling inside of you that feels good and makes you want to achieve some significant goal in your own life.
