Want to be Successful? Be Delusional

Oh, Jennifer, I'm so sorry to have to say this, but it's "Locus of control," not "Locust of control."
Locus means "place" in latin (think of the words local, location, located), and it refers refers to from where (which place/locus) the control is originating. A locust is just a bug. ☺️ Hope this helps.

That thumbnail 😂

I work for my self as an artist and lately I had been in a bit of a rut. I watched this video and it inspired me to start filling out grant and residency applications to give me more opportunities for growth. As a traditional artist I need to be more delusional. Thanks!

This is so true!!!!

I used to be delulu. Coming from a middle income family and a poor country, I used to believe I could travel the world. Not even being the best student, I got 2 scholarships (one at 16 and other at 18) and I was able to travel to Europe and Asia.
Somewhat in some stage of my life i became the total opposite. I'm not negative but I'm "realistic". I believe that the risk of having that much self-confidence is that when you start to fail, you fall to the conclusion that everything you tought about yourself was wrong and you were wrong to dream above your expectations. That you must not dream too high because you fall harder. I know this is not a good mentality, but it's so hard to get out of there! Especially when your material situation tells you the opposite 😢

Really helpful perspectives-thank you!

My theme this year is “fu** it!” Not in an “I give up” way, but like, “Will I succeed at this? Fu** it, let’s just see what happens!”

And I have seen a lot of Chads present at meetings. They are indeed not that good at it. 😂

I am an entrepreneur, but this was soooo helpful!!!! Thank you!!

Didn’t even include the Intro music you butchered in the description...
that’s ok no one does here, thanks anyway.

I made my resume sound good and experienced even though i’m not that experienced my idea is fake it till you make it.

I’m so delusional but my family and friends aren’t and more realistic and logical and keep trying to humble me and i can’t find people who get my delulu views on life

I was delulu and applied for a job i had no experience in and got rejected but i feel happy still rejection is redirection!

I used to base my self worth on my job and realised i’m just self sabotaging myself and my job doesn’t define me i define my job

Old seal song craxy just make sure its the good crazy not the stuff that will hurt you.

I have understood this concept for a long time, but my biggest question is...how can one achieve this and still keep their integrity, honesty, and morals? If you are dishonest with yourself, you will also be that way with others. Believing I'm yourself is one thing, but to get lost in delusion is another. It will bleed into your personal life, and not create true happiness.

My ex was delusionally confident, and everyone would believe his lies because of how confidently he said them. He was great at sales, but avoidant in reality and our relationship. I left him because he couldn't be real with me anymore or himself, and ultimately got lost in the delusions he told himself.

Love this ❤

Dreaming big, not judging the part of you that dreams big, while counting your blessings in the present. Hard combo to stay on track with, but it does improve outlook on life. I always find it helpful to write down what success means to me every year or so, because that definition can change a lot too.

I'm delulu and proud now. Hehe.

I hope the creator sees this. Listen being delusional is great and all but it only works on stupid or experienced people. I have found myself being UNDERCONFIDENT for the past five years. I spent time sucking ass in my career, being humble but NEVER giving up. Listen, once you get in a room with people who are truly and genuinely confident from YEARS of experience, they are going to see right through your bullshit, or worse, call you out on it.

I find it very ironic that you are trying to emulate chads are techbros. You know they are delusionaly confident even if they did not put in the work to be there. So you wanna be like them? You wanna get to that spot that they are in so that other people can look up and you and be like “damn this person is just an overconfident jackass”? I’ve seen this happen to so many managers before where they get positions that they did not earn by being delusional and absolutely everyone knows that they should not be there, but no one says anything. Sure that’s good shorterm but long term? Don’t you truly want to be a master of your craft by ACCURATELY comparing yourself to your competition?

I think too many people nowadays are too overconfident which is why social media is a thing. Idk you do you though. I’d rather take the long route and suck for a long time rather than be delusional and get caught up second guessing myself. I got to where I am today not by faking it till I made it or by being delusional, I got here because I’m undeniably nice at what I do. I want people to look up to me and understand that I am good at what I do.

Again that’s just me.

This was great

I’m suddenly more aware of the Chads and I’m not a fan at all! but I respect their strategy 😅

the amount of people I saw growing up that bullshitted their way through jobs, basically were more confident than competent while I was sitting here being too humble about my competence and minimising my efforts - who do you think was more successful and got where they wanted to be even if they weren't the best? it certainly wasn't me.

I love to paint, and thought I'll share it online when I'm good enough, yet i saw artist on the same caliber as mine proudly show their artwork, and sell it at prices that got me choke on m coffee... and I asked myself, "What do they have that I don't? I can paint that! And I hit me, they believe in themselves enough to proudly share it. So I'm starting to be delulu, and sure enough, I had commissions requests, and I am loving it! I still have to work on my skills, but I decided not to wait to be "there" cause I might never get there if I don't push myself!

I should be a billionsire if thats all it takes 😅😅😊😊

i was overconfident and got fired XD but i think they were promoting people based on who kisses ass most in that company. They also fired a lot other people

❤❤❤❤

Agree be delusion and corrupt like every other rich person

I have to rewatch this , wow, so deep.

He that would perfect himself in any art
whatsoever, let him betake himself to the
reading of some sure and certain work
upon his art many times over; for to read
many books upon your art produceth
confusion rather than learning

Oh my god! 🎉this is such a necessary topic! Thank you so much for creating this video! It has such an important message and i think it's not the delusional thinking but about humility and the fact that most of us are afraid to show off our achievements because don't wanna come across as bragging about our own success so we minimize ourself because that's the norm. We don't want people to feel envy for our success. I have been to a leadership training at a previous company where i used work and i remember the trainer said that success is dependent on 3 key points: your confidence level, self-expression (how you are able to show the world what you can do and what you have achieved) and professionalism (your knowledge and experiences). He said that without higher selfworth and confidence and without strong self-expression ( speaking, writing, online and offline) you will come across as incompetent most of the time even if you have the perfect knowledge and experiences. But still many companies expect people to be humble and stay small and we wonder why aren't we successful after a decade of woking our ass off at jobs and why did'nt they give us the raise we desired to get. It's because of humility and the image of incompetence. Whoever read this, wish you lots of success!

Thank you for this video

when you said "Being delulu about you you" I subscribed 😂

You are so right and lot of people don't get this.

Being delusional is gonna cause a lot of people to be real disappointed lol

🔥 This girl reminds me Melissa Joan Hart.

This is why the world is like it is. Psicopaths and bullshiters are at the top of everything

This is an awesome video! I totally agree, I've been living like this for awhile. People say I live in my own bubble (in a negative way) but I'm succeeding in a lot of things I do.

Testimony: I have been delusional (told I was delulu) and gotten what I wanted.

Entering my DELULU era as of 2day… THANK YOU !! 😚😚😚😚

Every time she doubles her cell phone screen, My brain goes right to the Rick and Morty episode 'Bethic Twinstinct' ❤️😁💯🔥😝🥰

I too can be a Chad.

omg chad is reminding me so much of my ex crushes. especially this one guy, i used to not like him, and think he was so cocky, but i think i was also a bit jealous of how sure of himself he seemed 😭😭

If the people who make the rules don't play by there own and will you lose by playing theirs, then what is the point of playing by there rules??

Being delulu is the solulu

I think I’m dolulu 😅 I dress the part and get all the attention and looks, and a Karen aka Patty a low grade hater that cannot compete.

If I don’t get what I need to do the job, I call in (awe! I don’t have what I need and Karen is constantly on my back, what did I ever do to her? 🥲)

Upon being hired I told them I take time off. “Modifications”

When I’m not there my ppl look for me and ask what happened and…..

I tell them what’s not working for me. Then I go back to work like nothing happened to see if I can work more efficiently.

I can always move on. They make millions on my back and refused to pay me my value.

Jim C showed me the check :)

If you can see the path how to get ‘there’. Its not delusional. But people will think your crazy, they can’t see what you see.
