Do that "crazy" thing

Run the race. Write the book.  
Start the business. Sing the hook.  
So what if they roll their eyes and smirk?  
Show up for yourself. Put in the work
   to do that "crazy" thing.  
 
Enter the contest. Get in the ring.  
Whatever it is, go do your thing.  
They'll say you can't and they'll stir your doubt.  
So, ask an expert to help you out  
   as you do that "crazy" thing.  
 
Step on the stage. Try something new.  
Gather a tribe that celebrates you.  
You'll never feel ready; you'll want to give in -  
but trust the process and just begin  
   to do that "crazy" thing.  
 
You might get hurt. You might crash and burn.  
One thing's for certain - you'll certainly learn.  
Naysayers nay because they don't know  
that pushing your limits is how you grow.  
You don't need the world to give you permission.  
Dream the big dreams. You're a soul on a mission.
   So, go do that "crazy" thing.

Author's Note
I ran over 75km in a trail race this weekend. I've been told many times how crazy it is...
