This is me being honest about something I've been thinking about: Am I optimistic or delusional? And how would I even know the difference?
I've always been someone who believes things will work out, that problems are solvable, that setbacks are temporary. But lately I've been wondering if there's a line between helpful optimism and harmful delusion.
What this episode explores:
- How to tell the difference between optimism and delusion
- Why self-awareness about your biases is crucial for entrepreneurs
- When positive thinking becomes a liability instead of an asset
Maybe the fact that I'm questioning my optimism means it's not delusion. Or maybe that's exactly what someone delusional would think.
