Pronoia: A Better Way to Look at Life

Yesterday I finsihed reading The Sell - The secrets to selling anything to anyone by Fredrik Eklund. Towards the end of the book Fredrik talks about the concept of Pronoia.

Pronoia is defined as being the opposite of paranoia, it is the sense that there is a conspriracy that exists to help the person succeed in life. 

I love the concept, the book gives an example of a delayed flight at an airport. Instead of getting upset like most people do, think of it as a chance to call your grandma and say hi. The universe intervined to help you get something you have been thinking of doing for awhile done.

If we all took that approach to life, perhaps we can be a little happier and less stressed. I am going to try this concept, but I am sure it will not always work.

Stefan, how delightful for all of us to take a moment to re-think when we are offered an opportunity to look at something in a different manner, instead of seeing strife, we see it as opportunity. I loved your example!

This sounds like a great book - we can't have a positive life if all of our thoughts are negative.
