I always say that the best things that my parents gave me was the ability to be curious and the ability to try anything and the ability to support any dumb idea that I had, because that's what allowed me to truly believe that I could do anything and everything.
And I say delusional, not in a negative way, not like you're going to try something that you obviously can't do, like become Superman.
Delusional meaning that no one who you know has ever done the thing that you want to do before.
So for you to logically think that you could get it done, you're not going to get it.
That's not going to work for you.
If you think like, hey, I come from a family of nine to five W2 people that are making $70,000 and $80,000 per year each, and they afforded everything.
But I don't have a single person around me that's ever built a business or made a million dollars a year or even worked a job that's paying two, three, four, five hundred thousand dollars per year.
You can get trapped in this logic where you're like, well, it's never happened to anyone around me.
That's not for me.
I don't have a role model that's ever done that.
I don't know even where to start.
Like there's no way I could ever do that.
And I think that being too much in your head and trying to rationalize what's possible and what's not, I think that's the wrong way to build an incredible life.
I think that's where I say delusional because it's not delusional as in it can't happen.
It's delusional because you are breaking out of this false reality that you have pigeonholed yourself into.
Everyone around you lives a certain way.
You have to be a little bit delusional to think that you can live a different way than everyone around you.
That's what I mean.
But then you'll realize very quickly that delusion is actually not delusion.
It's actually your reality that you've created for yourself.
