April is here again and it’s time for this year’s A to Z Challenge. This year, my theme is motivational quotes. Each 
Monday to Saturday throughout April I will be posting a motivational quote each day starting with the letters A through to Z.
It’s traditional through the challenge to keep posts short and sweet, so that’s what I’ll be doing. Just a quick explanation of why I chose each quote and what it means to me.
Day 9 – I
“I’m going to succeed because I’m crazy enough to think I can”
Isn’t that the truth! With so many obstacles standing in our way, it is crazy to think we can succeed at anything in this world. Or is it?
Is it crazier to work sixteen hour days to make it than it is to work eight hour days at an office?
Is it crazier to live your dream, even though it means working longer hours and working harder, than it is to spend a third of each day doing something you couldn’t care less about?
Is it really crazy to believe in yourself?
Maybe it is a little crazy, maybe it isn’t, but believing that you can and will succeed, for whatever reason, is the difference between people who succeed and people who don’t.
Are you crazy enough to think you’re going to be successful? If not, what’s stopping you? Let me know in the comments 🙂
Don’t forget to check back every Monday to Saturday to see the next motivational quote!

I will be successful and thank you for the reminder!
You’re welcome 🙂
I don’t think I’ve ever found anything that I’m that crazy about – but if I did, I grab it with both hands and dance!

It’s out there – you just need to find it!
Going through something very similar right now. I am too much the same when it comes to doing crazy stuff to live the dreams.
Go for it – break out the crazy!
I am definitely crazy enough!
Good 🙂
Yes, never underestimate the power of the mind!
I agree!
I actually think my days of being successful are over. I had my turn. And I don’t think it was because of crazy… although I’m sure crazy certainly helped.
There’s no reason you can’t be successful again if you work for it 🙂 And yeah, crazy helps haha
Loved this post. Thank you.
Thank you 🙂 I’m glad you enjoyed it
Hup. Never give up, and believe in yourself and all possiblilities.
Definitely!
Debbie, this is a fabulous quote. Sometimes we have to be the one to stand tall, lean into the wind and slowly drag ourselves out of the storm of negativity to see our bright future. If we don’t do it who else will?
This year I am laying out the plot of a new historical fiction novel over my 26 A to Z posts. I’d love to have you stop by.
The Steel Horse Saviors is a story about three civil war veterans who head west in 1866 with their Steam Locomotive to seek their fortune. They encounter a beautiful redhead trying desperately to save her family business that threatens to complicate their plan to escape their past.
Thank you 🙂 Exactly, it’s up to us to make it happen!
Sounds good, I’ll drop by and have a nosey 😉
I love that quote and when I look back on some of the crazy things I’ve done, I’ve lived a lot by it! I’m looking forward to making a trip to Scotland again this summer–I haven’t really been in the North of England except York and the train from Edinburgh to London.
Thank you 🙂 It’s not so bad – the people are very friendly
Self belief is very important. It is what can make or break you. So we all need to believe in the “power of I”.
We definitely do!
It doesn’t feel like being crazy enough. Not the believing, at least. Putting in the work, the hours, the dreams and hopes and soulful effort…that part feels crazy. 🙂
Haha fair point!
I do have ambitions but I’m working on being crazy enough to take bigger chances and put myself out there more. Doesn’t come easily!
You just have to decide today’s the day and go for it!
You have to be part crazy and incredibly persistent to succeed. Maybe that level of persistence is what requires the crazy. Cool quote.
There’s definitely some crazy involved somewhere lol
It’s all about passion. If you don’t have the passion for what you are doing then it will never be fulfilling. Nice post!
Great quote. Great reminder. You can do what you put your mind to!

Love this. I think it’s crazy that our culture is one that says you generally have to go to work long hours at something you don’t love to get money to buy things that will make you feel better about not loving your life…and repeat! #AnythingGoes
It really is crazy when you put it like that!
This post ✨ I need inspiration and motivational quotes like this ✨✨ #anythinggoes
Glad you liked it 🙂
Belief in yourself can do incredible things 🙂 #anythinggoes
Crazy crazy crazy enough here! Will certainly try to enjoy myself in the process of trying to be successful. Great quote, I shall look out for your next ones #anythinggoes
Thank you Debbie- this is so true! I’m contemplating making some changes but having the confidence to do it and work longer and harder in the short term is putting doubts in my mind (I’ve been thinking since Christmas could’ve nailed it by now had I not been procrastinating so long!) time to bite the bullet and make decisions I think… #anythinggoes
Go for it – you’ll regret it if you don’t!
Definitely needed this today! Thanks, love!
Any time 🙂
I found you via Twitter. I love quotes and this one resonated with me. I had to share it too.

Thank you 🙂
I’m currently trying to follow this quote! I have moments where I don’t believe in myself, but I’m trying to just go along with the craziness! #AnythingGoes
If you don’t believe you can you never will! We all need faith and self-belief. #AnythingGoes
