Have you heard about the latest trend that’s taking over the manifestation scene? It’s called being ‘delulu’, and it is about to become your new favorite way to turn your dreams into reality.
Being delulu isn’t just a catchy phrase–it’s a mindset shift that is changing the way we approach our goals and dreams. Long time ago, it was called “positive thinking”, then it turned into “manifesting”, “lucky girl syndrome” and now it’s called “being delulu”.
If you go on TikTok, the phrase “delulu is the solulu” means that you make your dreams come true even if they sound delusional.
But what exactly does it mean to be delulu, and how can it help you accomplish your goals? Let’s dive in.
What does being ‘delulu’ mean?
At its core, being delulu is about embracing the power of positive thinking and unwavering self-belief. It’s adopting a mindset of limitless possibility and refusing to let doubt hold you back. Instead of focusing on what could go wrong, being delulu encourages you to focus on what could go right and to wholeheartedly believe in your ability to make it happen, to the extent that people think you’re… delusional.
One of the key principles of being delulu is the idea of “fake it till you make it”. But not in the way you think it is. It doesn’t mean pretending to be something you’re not–it means embodying the energy and confidence of the person you want to become, even before you have fully reached your goals.
But being delulu isn’t just about wishful thinking. You’re not just going to be delulu and wait for life to happen for you. It’s about taking inspired action to turn your dreams into reality. It means setting audacious goals that stretch your limits. Being willing to fail, learn, and grow along the way.
So, how can you embrace being delulu in your own life?
Remember that being delusional only works when paired with action. It’s more like thinking that there’s no way you’re not going to reach that goal because you are already there.
There are a few things in life that happened to me that I was absolutely sure that I didn’t deserve, or that I was underqualified and lacked the skills to do them, until I threw myself into them and realized that that was me underestimating myself all along. It was thinking too ‘rationally’ and not being ‘delulu’, or in other words, confident in my abilities.
Imagine approaching everything in your life with this mindset? Imagine you would’ve applied for this job you thought you were underqualified for? Talked to that person who you thought was too good for you? Signed up for that race you thought you’d never be able to finish? And you actually made it? Believe me, 9/10 times you’re doing much better than you think you are, and here are the signs.
Being delulu is having this vision, and reverse engineering it into reality. Thinking about what you must do to get to that point, and then embodying it.
I always believe that we get desires because these things are already ours. Having that desire is just a taste of what life could look like if you actually do the work.
Instead of looking at the life you want and thinking it’s unrealistic. Look at the people who already have it, and ask yourself, “Why not me? Why can’t it work out?”. Start applying to jobs with the mentality that you’re an asset to that company. Approach relationships knowing that you bring a lot to the table.
You won’t skip the hard work it takes to get there–you will just be brave enough to take on that work because you trust your ability to achieve your dreams.
To wrap up…
Being delusional doesn’t mean you can skip the work and end up where you want to be. No amount of positive affirmations can make you an engineer if that’s what you want. The idea here is to never think that something is unachievable for you, because the truth is… the difference between you and those who did it, is that they believed that they could.
So, really, delulu is the solulu.
