Short motivational monologue by TJ Walker arguing that optimism (not delusion) is necessary to create new and valuable things. He says creators must take a ‘leap of faith’ and adopt an optimistic outlook to start businesses, write books, or launch projects, and encourages listeners to follow his habit of optimism rather than passively consuming media.

Sure some people are delusional. Some people look through rose colored glasses at everything and have a warped, distorted view of the world. That's not what I want you to do. But you have to realize, if you want to create anything new and valuable, a new business, write a new book. You basically have to take a leap of faith. You have to be optimistic about the future, otherwise it would be paralyzing. You wouldn't be able to start. You have to have an optimistic view of the future for this business, making it this book being read by anyone, this podcast being listened to. So a part of your personality has got to be optimistic. If you want to do anything other than sit at home in bed and watch TV or videos online, please follow the TJ Walker habit.
