Pollyanna or not, the question is, which interpretation would you rather choose?Īlbert Einstein said of this world, “ The most important decision we make, is whether we believe we live in a friendly or a hostile universe.” Whilst Einstein never mentioned being pronoic, one can certainly see how when one looks at everything that happens to them in life through the lens of pronoia, life becomes infinitely brighter and more enjoyable. Whereas pronoia is where one connects the dots and sees everything as serving them. In other words, one who is paranoid connects the dots with the conclusion that everything is against them. Someone who is pronoic believes that the world and everyone in it, is conspiring to shower them with blessings. Pronoia on the other hand is the extreme opposite. In other words, to the paranoid, the world is conspiring to do them harm. Paranoia is defined as: a baseless delusion or excessive suspicion of the motives of others. There's a little-known secret thought process used by the world's most successful people in all fields, including sports and business.
