The best thing about naive optimism is that if you succeed, it boosts your ego, and if you don't, you accumulate a lot of experience that will increase your odds of winning next time

I'm dealing with some massive roadblocks in my PhD right now. I really needed this. Thank you so much.

Pretty sure I'm gonna achieve everything I want.

Naïve optimism seems like the only way to counter-balance our propensity to negativity.

Naive optimism is what got me out of homelessness twice within the same year. now is pushing me to learn a skill that makes money. this skill is extremely risky and so far i lost alot of money due to the many failures i aquired on the way, which was the reason i became homeless on the second time because after the first time that's when i got started taking my finances seriously. despite all of this i still have believe that i can do this and now i'm in a situation where it either work or i go homeless for the third time. (edit) 13 oct 2023. homeless again, this time im out of options , so long folks. im gonna go sell this laptop for food money

There’s nothing better than this man’s voice. It’s so calming.

To be honest, this is the only thing that keeps me having 1% of hope

I’m somewhere between naive optimism and manifestation Simply, increasing my awareness increases my awareness of opportunities, and action makes those opportunities more likely to happen I use to be really depressive, and trust me I struggle with the symptoms of the illness depression… but I no longer think how my depression/anxiety had me thinking. Once I understood I really truly know nothing, stopped my limiting beliefs of “that’s impossible”, and became even more aware of the things that contributed to my depression/anxiety/using that awareness to do what I can to get away from what causes me that anxiety. It turns out I also suffer from an illness that is like having a bully in your head, it’s called OCD.. it’s a debilitating condition that is not truly reflected in pop culture (someone who organizes is not ocd.. they’re just strictly organized) I stopped fighting the thoughts, and feelings, now I feel it all, I understand my thoughts aren’t mine anymore, I became increasingly aware of “if I haven’t experienced myself I don’t know it’s real” Things actually became a lot easier for me, and I’m fully aware of everything that stressed me out It turned me into something somewhere between a manifestation person & a naive optimistic person. For me, my life was a train wreck riddled with anxiety abuse and low energy depressive stuff The worst had happened, many times over.. This caused me to adopt this naive optimism manifestation stuff because if I loose it all… I allready came from that, and if it upsets me for too long I’m too attached to material things So why not be naively optimistic, as being able to face the great pain of losing everything is really a superpower. This naive optimism gets me places, and gets things done. I stopped worrying about the outcome, and started enjoying everything about my path to rather failure or success I don’t know where I’m meant to be in life, if anywhere… so enjoy every moment of it

You don't need naive optimism if you drop the expectations and enjoy the process.

I just had my phone stolen after working really hard to get myself out of debt and set up my future with my medical studies, and now I’m at the stage of acceptance of what’s happened and the financial impact it’s gonna have I kindve decided to take on this mindset so seeing this video the same day is just reinforcing that this is what I’ve gotta lean towards. I’ll make the future I want.

to be honest this is the only thing that has kept me going for some time now ..theirs is always that voice "next time you just have to try a little harder " surely i will

This video hit at just the right time for me. I could definitly use some naive optimism right now. Thank you again, Aperture, for offering another perspective on life's incredible plethora of experiences and options.

Dude you have no idea how much this helped me. Thanks

I love everything you make, but this resonates.

Naive Optimism = Positive Mentality

My little brother lives like this, and I'm so jealous 😅 I'm working on it!

Alhamdullillah! U exist ...ur videos are such beautiful piece of art

I'm really glad there's a video about this topic that too from one of my favorite RU-vid channels! I believe naive optimism works best if you aren't actually naive.. (Read this sentence till you get it). Speaking about doing big tasks, (The novel, triathlon example), one concrete thing I do to make essentially any task doable is follow this one simple principle, "Don't solve problems that don't exist". Being prepared for mishaps is a different thing, that's risk management but solving problems that don't exist is a sure shot way to go into a downward spiral.

I'm having a hard time in medical school... I needed this, right now I'm burned out, and I don't know what to do...😢

Lol and people call me crazy. Ive always embraced this naive optimisim. My ex girlfriend hated it, but if you ask me she was just a negative nancy, my optimisim pulled us through all kinds of stuff. "No its raining we can't have the picnic now the birthday is ruined!" Not with that attitude! Well I had to walk away from that relationship as heart breaking as it was to do, but you know what? I'll find my optimistic sweetheart somewhere out there shes waiting for me and doesn't even know it!

Oh look, time to relax to another masterpiece!

I'm gonna go all in with this mindset, I need it the most rn. Thank you for sharing!

Every thing is gonna be ok. Tomorrow will be a better day.

I don't remember when or why I subscribed to your channel, but I'm happy I did.

This is definitely my domain.

Thank you for this video 🙏🏼

I’ve got 3 books I’ve written basically fleshing out a thesis behind my life philosophy, it almost feels like I’m leading a charge but it truly is a challenging process to just trust yourself

I really needed this. Thank you very much!

Positivity changes everything.

Sometimes I think I'm one of the few naive optimist since everyone else is nihilistic

This is trippie as hell I was on shrooms today and had this EXACT thought

Thank you aperture!❤ Your videos work better than any other motivational videos!❤

This is without question the most gelpful video i watched this week on RU-vid, amazing content and absolutely needed this message and philosophy. Thank you 🙏

The process of belief, positive or negative, is slept on. Belief and all related mind states have deeper truths to them than our understanding of them entails. In time, the more thats revealed about mind, the more things like belief will be front and center.

There is something to be said for that, on the other hand you have to realize that you can only do so much. it's likely that we lean more towards the latter considering the type of content that this is but also realize that if you lean too much into the former you can wind up like Elizabeth Holmes or SBF. It's not that you can't do something but you need to think about whether you should or not.

So i was a naive optimist before 😅 , need to return back to the mindset things are going all weird ever since i started stressing about stuff 😢

Your voice is so satisfying ❤

Naïve optimism got me this far. Quite spectacularly to be fair. Thanks, you're a legend.

All your videos are a journey into the mind fantastic

We humans gotta stop overthinking.

ok, this video changed my life.

One day I started using this method and it worked. And it kept working. And its still working. Really good method.

Ive been actually unknowingly doing this for years! N trust me it does help a lot.

I think I'm kind of nieve in my optimism I feel like I can be successful and achieve anything if I work hard for it and that I WILL do this

This channel deserves more subscribers

So, is being too realistic a mistake? Should I try to strike a balance or take it one way or another?

Thank you for this!♥

Thanks💜

I always have this mindset just didn't know we had a term for it haha

So this outlook I’ve always had in life is a good thing and not a sign I’m crazy? Thanks!

Absolutely.

Man I needed this. Thank you

Thank you so much

I didn't know this has a name. I feel like if I can imagine myself doing something, that I can learn/do it.

I’ve always been poor most of my life I figured out how to trade professionally within 6 years I’ve lost so much and have gained a major amount of knowledge I break down thinking about how much I have changed and most of all what I know a lot of people are just naïve without optimism they lack the interest to expand mentally and physically I want to and will change the world one trade and decision at a time nothing I am doing is for me, thankyou universe

Fascinating however I disagree that there’s a clear line between naïve optimism and manifestation. Having watched and read a lot on the subject it’s a common misconception that manifestation doesn’t require you to act, that you can wish your dream car into existence. It’s about paying attention to your surroundings and accessing possibilities which were always there, but because you hadn’t mentally focused on them before ,you failed to see. When you receive inspiration,whether you view it as the universe sending you a sign,or that your increased focus has illuminated possibilities you hadn’t previously noticed …. Is irrelevant. What any manifestation guide worthy of attention will tell you is that, once you receive the inspiration, nothing will happen without action. I really enjoyed this video. Always great food for thought on this channel ❤

your my favorite youtuber i watch your videos to go to bed 😂

Perfect timing I’m about to go through hell when school starts, not only is it hard to pass but hard to survive, school shootings are around and 2 school years ago a kid got stabbed at my school last school year I was assaulted in class constantly and the teacher did nothing, got hit over the head with white boards heavy calculators, sprayed with white board cleaner ( mind you is very flammable) and threaten to be lit on fire by the same person in the same class and the same teacher did nothing. So it feels great to hear your voice Aperture. Can I get a pin?

How does a naive optimist deal with failures though? As you said, the odds are stacked against you winning. So a naive optimist will certainly fail. What comes after that? How does a naive optimist deal with failure?

Forrest Gump, though fictional, is a great example of a naive optimist we can attempt to emulate.

An excellent video.❤

Optimism is often incorrect, but it's also the only way of life that makes it worth living in the first place.

He forgets to say the part where they are just not interested in you no matter how good you are.

Videos like these are the best. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This sounds like the mindset that manifestation junkie like me have. 😂 seeing obstacles and circumstances but they dont fkn matter cuz I will get what I want, periodt. 😂😂

Aperture 🤝🙌🙌🙌🙌

dang ima try be like that

After watching Aperture for this long, my philosophy is a convoluted amalgamation of all the best ones in the world + my own.

you should release every video as a podcast episode as well

I had this to an outrageous degree. I used it to chase my dream. When i was 18 i faced a massive failure that completely shattered it. I havent been able to get it back, i miss it.

Im a chronic overthinker, but naive optimism has actually helped me reach a lot of my goals really fast

The title should be a BUMPER STICKER❤❤❤😂❤❤❤

Awesome vídeo as always

I feel like this video is genuinely gonna have a lasting positive impact on me. Thanks so much man.

Naive optimism is like a nice little boost. But there does need to be a level of awareness and balance of reward vs consequence bc delusional optimism can be very destructive as well.

Thank you so much for your hard work! 😊 Need some advice: 🙏 I only have these words 🤔. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). What is this? 🤔

Naïve optimism combined with determination allows anybody to achieve their best.

What is the name of the tone you play at the end? It is so calming!

I live you internet Person 0:00

Now i am thinking about every time i was naive optimist i was successful. Of course i was still very young back then and perhaps that did matter but anyway. I am more in favor of optimistic nihilism to tell you the truth.

Imma boxer and this helps

**Title:** "Embracing Naive Optimism: Believing in Success Against All Odds" **Summary:** In this RU-vid video, the presenter explores the concept of "naive optimism," which involves maintaining an unwavering belief in achieving positive outcomes, even in challenging situations. The key takeaways from the video are as follows: 1. **Belief in Success**: Naive optimism is the mindset of believing that good outcomes are more likely to happen to you than bad ones, regardless of the odds or obstacles. 2. **Ignoring Negativity**: Naive optimists choose to ignore negative possibilities and focus on positive expectations. This helps reduce anxiety and catastrophic thinking, allowing them to approach situations with a more open demeanor. 3. **Boosting Confidence**: Embracing this mindset can boost self-confidence and encourage individuals to step out of their comfort zones. It enables them to take on new challenges with a can-do attitude. 4. **Use in Decision-Making**: Naive optimism can be particularly useful when facing life-altering decisions or challenging circumstances. It helps individuals see a favorable resolution and make decisions with their future in mind. 5. **Practice and Adoption**: While it may not come naturally to everyone, naive optimism can be adopted through practice. Starting with small, positive affirmations and gradually expanding this mindset can lead to more optimistic thinking. The video emphasizes that naive optimism doesn't guarantee success magically but rather encourages individuals to actively work towards their goals with a positive outlook. It can be a powerful tool for personal growth and facing life's challenges.

Great video Aperture! Watching your videos I have always noticed the music in the background but can't find the name of them, can you let us know what it is?

How do I adapt a child like mindset and be a naive optimist when I never was one not even when I was a child?

Thanks for the breakdown! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (air carpet target dish off jeans toilet sweet piano spoil fruit essay). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

Great video however as a fake it till u make it person myself i stll underestimate my ability to reproduce materials and to explain how and why i got to that solution is not the "conventional" way as we are made familiar in schools... tis way is great when you have a self intrest in mind not when at the end of the road it doesnt matter to you for example my mate asked me to run half a marathon (i dont run) but sure i will do that cause i know i can even tho my body wont agree with me

Whenever I try being optimistic I jinx myself, so for me, I try to maintain negative energy. Seems to work better.

Conversely I know some people with naive optimism with pretty terrible lives. Something about them using optimism and motivational thinking to avoid taking responsibility for the actions which are causing them problems. They seem to think they just need to try harder instead of reflecting on what went wrong and learning from their mistakes.

You can be a realist and be right, or you can be an optimist and be rich.

Amazing

Aperture is peak

A few seconds of glory are not worth pain forever pal

Both optimism and pessimism are opinions, a united states of mind. Forget both. Annihilate both. Just do it.
