In this brief motivational clip, Dean Graziosi urges listeners to "borrow" or "rob" confidence from their past achievements when facing new challenges. He highlights the common habit of fixating on potential failures with repetitive "what if" questions, and suggests a mental shift: replace worries about what could go wrong with a focus on what can go right. By recalling prior successes, individuals can summon the confidence needed to act effectively in the present.

I want you to borrow confidence from the past. When we're doing something, we have to muster up the confidence. We think of the things that could go wrong. We think of, oh, what if I don't come through? What if I don't say the right things? What if, what if, what if, what if we change that and instead of thinking about what could go wrong, start thinking about what can go right? Better yet, rob confidence from the past.
