I grew up in a house where crazy ideas were good, and when he said these words, I would always lean in a little closer.
He taught me to have Crazy Ideas (CI) and to share them.
My current CI is this:
If you have a social security card, as soon as you turn a certain age, say 15, you get a voucher on your birthday to use at a spa/wellness center. Make it a $50 voucher, Happy Birthday from Uncle Sam. You can then use this voucher at places that meet the governments regulations (blah blah blah) and the spa/wellness center can then have a reimbursement system. An easy one.
I have pitched this idea to a state senator even. He rolled his eyes, but this is why I like it.
- It proves that the government cares about the individual.
- It is equal.
- It is powerful to be touched, especially on days that have meaning.
- It would cut down on crime.
- It would reduce health care costs.
- It would introduce the whole population to positive wellness prevention.
- It is fun.
- It would stir the economy up.
Trust me, there will be more crazy ideas to come. And I hope you lean in.
