Legalize Insanity

Anything Goes! Thoughts, news, reviews, about anything thought provoking, inspiring, useful, funny, or something else including books, music, products, health, relationships, technology, travel, internet, marketing, and making money.

First, I give credit to Robin Williams for the phrase "legalize insanity."  I heard him use it on an actors guild show and it stuck in my head.  To me it means, permission to be yourself!  To be free, with no limits.  His ability to be funny is pure genius; he totally lets go.  Thank you!  Laughter is the best medicine.

A great teacher named Abraham was once asked what would happen to the world if everyone just did whatever they wanted to do.  The questioner was concerned that this might create problems and imbalance in the world.  Abraham answered saying there is room in the world for everyone to "follow their bliss" (Joseph Campbell) ie be themself.  In fact, the world would be in perfect harmony.  Let's go for it!

Welcome!  Be yourself!  Be free!
