Be Delusional

Does the world change through the normal motion and actions of the average person? Maybe… if they have 1000 years to live, they most likely don’t, but if they do, I want to know what they’re putting into their body.

Does the world of high achievers have room for rationally-minded thinkers? I think not, they won’t fit in, they’ll be too busy playing everything down, rationalising everything. 

You almost need utter delusion when you have Big Hairy Audacious Goals. This isn’t the delusional that has a negative connotation in society, not the delusion where people assume you’re stupid and have no wits about you.

If you aren’t the least bit delusional then your mind is going to rationalise everything and play your abilities down. 

Do you think the Spartans fighting for their lives in the Roman Colosseum were rationalising or do you think they were going over how they would defeat their enemy, survive another day and come out victorious? 

The greatest inventors, entrepreneurs, athletes, and artists of all time are just like you and me. They have two sets of lungs, a brain, a heart, a stomach and a nervous system. The only difference between us and them is that they had this internal burning desire, a drive and MASSIVE self-delusion that they were going to achieve what they set out to conquer and hunt down. 

Without their delusion they would have over-thunk their actions, and their choices and played themselves down, second-guessed themselves, maybe even half-assed their efforts and we never would have known them. 

They also use language in a different way

Not
“I might…”
“I think…”
“I may”
“I could…”

They use

“I will…”

“I know…”

“I am…”

“I have…”

Notice the difference? One breeds uncertainty, the other certainty. Sometimes something wonderful starts with how you speak it into existence. Start being aware of this. Don’t put the imaginary shackles on your potential.

Delusion is magic inside of you, it allows you to break the membrane off your limitations and set new levels. The higher you go, the more delusion you need.

As the saying goes… new levels new devils. 

How high are you going to rise? 

Is the sky the limit or is the sky just the beginning? 

How much delusion do you have inside you? 

How much do you back yourself?

They say we fall to our level of preparation. We also fall to our level to how much delusional belief we have in ourselves.

Being delusional is one of the single greatest powers you can possess in your life. 

Believe in yourself, how much is up to you.

You are all you need to be. 

No one can hunt as well as you towards your dreams. You have that power.

Be delusional.

Until next time,
