I love the ‘Here’s to the crazy ones‘  video. Gives me goosebumps to hear Steve’s voice stating something that he lived and believed, in his own way.

I have always felt like I’m supposed to contribute like a ‘crazy one’ but when I look back at the arc of my life, I think my serial lack of discipline has, up to now, kept me from achieving big wonderful things.

So I am rededicating myself to letting out my ‘crazy’. I do take steps in those directions: with the music I’m making with my band(s), with writing…but what’s missing is finishing one level completely, and moving to the next.

I need to navigate my musts: connecting with loved ones far and near, a very busy job, monitoring and working on my health,  improving my Japanese skills, taking care of other obligations, and incorporate the creative work I need to do.

With all of this in mind, I pulled out Chris Guillebeau’s ‘Annual Life Review‘. And in my down time this week, I’ll get started and share whatever might be helpful.
