The most successful people I know all have an almost irrational belief that everything will work out
And I just recently learned the word for it: Pronoia.
It means the opposite of paranoia. The belief that the world is secretly conspiring in your favor.
The funny thing about Pronoia is that it's self-fulfilling.
When you believe things will work out, you try harder. You persist longer, and you see opportunities where others see dead ends.
What's that quote again?
"Pessimists sound smart. Optimists make money." – Nat Friedman
We all need a little more pronoia in our lives.
