Reverse paranoia is the belief that the universe is conspiring to make you into a better person. Reverse paranoia is the opposite of traditional paranoia, the the belief that the universe is out to destroy you.

I am a reverse paranoid. I know deep down that reality is honing and improving my character and abilities. It is something like evolution and natural selection.

I know that every problem that I encounter is custom-made by reality to challenge my abilities and knowledge in a way that will bring me the most benefit. Reality’s subtle shifts and changes exist to make me stronger.  

One can be a reverse paranoid regarding happiness. This consists of the belief that the universe is always conspiring to make you happier. Indeed, scientific studies have shown that as people grow older, they become more happy.  

So relax, the universe and reality are always working hard to improve your life everyday.
