Making Your Inner Crazy Work for You

So, since I have been in the Nations Capitol I have come across a lot of functional crazy people. And since I started working in politics, I seem to not be able to get away from them. Which as a side note, has made me ask myself is it me or is it them. The reality is, it's both.

But one thing I have noticed is that most successful people in this town, and probably in any town, are all just a wee bit CRAZY.

So my question for today is, how does one make your inner crazy work for you.

Here are a few steps to start you on the path. Please feel free to add additional steps, experiences, or best practices for the emerging field.

Step 1: Accept that you are crazy, this is the most important step.

Step 2: Become One with your crazy, really spend some time getting to know your inner crazy person.


Note: Don't go to far, depending on your level of crazy, you may not make it back : )

Step 3: Ask yourself, how can I make these attributes and behaviors work for me, without harming others or engaging in illegal activity of course.

Step 4: Begin to test the waters, start to strategically utilize your inner crazy.


Note: begin to take notation of your inner crazy's strengths and weaknesses, what tends to work when and with whom.

I have met and work with a lot of people in this town that I am certain have perfected the craft of strategically using their inner, hell and outer, crazy.

Once you have a clearer understanding of the talents of your inner crazy and have mastered your ability to manipulate it, you can begin to develop a life plan around how to utilize it to achieve your goals.

Again, not harming anyone and not engageing in illegal activity.

Step 5: Embrace Your Inner Crazy and as Tim Gunn Says, "Make It Work".
