Dean Graziosi argues that humans are often born with self-doubt (a default pessimistic tendency) and spend much of life working to become optimistic and overcome it. In this excerpt he prompts the audience to reflect on the personal cost of self-doubt by asking when they were close to taking action but let an inner voice stop them.
I really believe. I know this sounds crazy, but I believe most of us and I believe I was like were born almost pessimist. We're born with a pile of self doubt and we spend the rest of our lives working on to be being an optimist to crush self doubt. But I want you to think about this today and I really want you to think about this. What does self doubt already cost you? When have you almost been there? When did you almost take the action? And you let that inner voice stop you?
