What Is My Delulu at Work?

I watched this movie Sarvam Maya recently. And instead of thinking about the story or performances, I walked out with a very random question stuck in my head.

What’s my version of delulu at office?

Because if I’m being honest, most days don’t run on perfect plans or clear logic. A lot of days run on telling yourself, “Okay, this will be fine,” even when you’re still figuring things out. Saying yes first. Trusting yourself to connect the dots later.

For me, it’s this quiet confidence that things will fall into place eventually. That showing up every day will make things clearer over time. That effort doesn’t disappear just because results aren’t visible yet. Some days it feels like confidence. Some days it’s just me choosing not to spiral.

And no, this isn’t my gut instinct.

That one is calmer. It gently tells me when something feels right or when it doesn’t. This belief is louder. It’s what I lean on when I don’t have all the answers yet. It pushes me forward while clarity is still catching up.

Strangely enough, it helps.

It keeps momentum going. It stops me from overthinking every small decision. But only when I stay aware. Because there’s a thin line between trusting yourself and pretending everything is fine.

That’s where checking in with yourself matters. What’s actually helping? What needs a small change? What’s clearly not working anymore?

That’s what stayed with me after the movie. Not that everything is an illusion, but that knowing your illusion gives you control. You decide whether it’s pushing you ahead or quietly slowing you down.

At Toss the Coin, this feels natural. Ideas are trusted, tested, tweaked, or dropped without unnecessary drama. You believe enough to start, but you learn enough to stay grounded. As long as things are moving smoothly and not startling anyone, we’re good.

So maybe everyone has their own version of delulu. Or maybe you just make it work and call it belief. Either way, knowing yours makes all the difference.
