Success takes a —

DELUSIONAL AMOUNT OF CONFIDENCE.

The commitment it takes to plan on your win before and beyond any prior evidence looks like madness or conceit to others. Or a combination of both.

However, FAITH cannot lower itself to the level of needing to be believed in, and belief cannot raise itself to the level of possessing FAITH.

It’s a reckless acceptance of positive possibility when the world is pessimistic calling itself reasonable. A courageous embrace of potential when challenges are seen as obstacles. A deliberate and repeated commitment to your delusional self-knowing despite your current circumstances. A simple bet that you’re right about yourself.

You already knew as a kid. That was your spirt.

The world caused you to doubt. That was your ego.

Paradoxically, it’s our egos that keep us small, trying to fit in, be liked, play it safely, be sensible not the other way around. Our egos have little to do with dream achievement and more to do with dream deferral. When you see someone in this space, support their faith, even if you don’t believe. Because what it normally means is your faith needs reviving and they’re there as an example of what that looks like. 🦾🦾🦾

Do with this what you will. Keep going. Don’t listen to anyone or anything that does not align with your faith and your faithfulness to it.

Be delusional. Love you.
