Different Crazy
I’ve come to the realization that some people will think I am crazy.
To that I say
Aren’t we all crazy in our own unique way?
Yeah, I hear my parts speak to me.
Yeah, I tell people about IFS,
because I am highly impressed with the positive results I have seen.
Maybe I am crazy, and I’m fine with that.
Then, aren’t other people crazy also?
What about the person who buys and buys believing that the newest item will make them happy? How about the person who gossips about everyone else, so they don’t have to be present in their own life?
What about the ones who drink or drug even though every day they tell themselves — tomorrow, I will quit. Isn’t it crazy to think the best way to numb your pain is by covering it up?
So,
My crazy is working for me.
Is your crazy working for you?
If not, why don’t you try a different crazy for a while?
