"Delusion is what makes people start. No one with all the facts would begin"
Think about it.
If you knew exactly how difficult your goal would be, how many times you'd fail, how long it would take, how many people would doubt you, and how uncertain the outcome was…
would you still start?
Probably not.
That's why sometimes you need a little irrational confidence.
You need to believe you can figure things out before you actually know how.
"The entrepreneur starts before knowing whether the business will work."
"The artist creates before knowing whether anyone will care."
"The student begins before knowing whether they'll succeed."
You don't need certainty to begin. You need enough belief to take the first step.
Reality teaches you what you need to know along the way.
Maybe what we call “delusion” at the beginning is simply confidence before there is evidence.
And sometimes, that's exactly what gets people started.
