114. Confidence Vs. Ego

‘’Confidence is a state of mind but you can continually work on it’’. George St-Pierre

 

Confidence vs. Ego - There’s a fine line between CONFIDENCE & EGO. Your ego can manifest itself in a lot of different ways.

 

Jamie and Tony go deep into his personal life in regards to his self-esteem and his ego as a kid. Concluding with the quote from Dr Wayne Dyer - "Everything you do is based on the choices you make. Its not your parents, your past relationships, your job, the economy, the weather, an argument or your age that is to blame. You and only you are responsible for every decision and choice you make… period!"
