“Blind Positivity Sucks.”
“Positivity that calls for you to hide behind “good vibes” instead of facing up to the reality of your life is never going to be healthy. It will never support you or prop you up. All it can ever do is provide you with a sense of hope built up on a platform so fucking weak that it falls apart at the first sign of strain.
For entrepreneurs, this is a particularly huge problem. Start-up inspiration is everywhere, in the form of stylised (and often misused, re-worded or taken out of context) advice from successful multi-billionaires…
Always believe you’re good enough. Always believe anything is possible. But don’t do it at the expense of reality. And don’t think you have to always stay positive.”
