If you don't have this you're actually cooked
The guys who win aren't smarter, they're dumber.
I watched all the self-improvement videos.
I read all the books.
I set goals, made plans and on and on.
I did everything "right".
But still, I didn’t make progress.
Why?
Not because I was lazy.
Not because I wasn't disciplined enough.
Not even because I didn't take action.
I didn't make progress because in my mind, I was still a fucking loser. I was too realistic.
And the harsh truth is: Nobody ever won by being realistic.
No athlete. No entrepreneur. No adventurer.
As kids, we all wanted to become an athlete, astronaut, firefighter etc.
Why didn't we (at least most of us)?
Because society programmed us to be realistic.
"You’ll never reach that dream"
"You can't do that"
The difference with the kids who eventually become their dream version?
They remained delusionally stubborn.
Because the guys who win aren't smarter. They're dumber.
They're not realistic. They're delusional.
Realistic guys:
set "achievable" goals
don't think more of themselves
don't believe they can do great shit
Delusional guys:
win because too stupid to stop
act like they've already won

You have to believe that you're THE absolute fucking chad.
That you can do whatever you want.
That you're rich with only a few bucks to your name.
Then you start to carry yourself differently.
You start to become that guy in your mind.
Others expect more of you.
And then the magic happens:
First, you're the chad in your head.
Then you act like him.
And then you obviously become him.
BUT IT ALL STARTS IN YOUR HEAD.
When you see yourself as a loser, you might as well quit rn.
But if you're delusional:
you move faster and figure it out on the way
take more shots because you know one will hit
take bigger risks because you know you can handle them
Picture two guys:
Guy A:
Sees a super successful, rich guy.
Instantly thinks that he's inferior to the guy.
Overthinks every word.
Walks over timid, no aura.
Does some awkward small talk.
The rich guy nods politely but forgets his name in 5 minutes.
Guy B:
Sees the same guy.
Thinks that he's more important than the guy.
Walks over confidently, smiles like they already know each other.
While guy B is still broke, he believes he's rich already.
He speaks with conviction and energy.
The rich guy likes his aura and invites him to dinner.
The only difference was that the one guy was a bit more delusional than the other.
Delusional optimism is the spark that lights the fire.
Think you're chad.
Act like chad.
Become chad.
It's that simple.

You have to DEEPLY believe that you're already a fucking G.
That the world is yours.
And you'll become that guy sooner than you think.
Because only idiots are realistic.
Retards are delusional.
