What was said

"He goes, never link your confidence to your ability. 'Cause I know you struggle with your confidence. If it's predicated on your abilities or your achievements, you're always gonna be chasing it. He goes, but if you'd link your confidence to your intentions, man, do you have beautiful intentions."

In a pivotal beach encounter in Maui, Wayne Dyer gave Ed Mylett advice that changed his approach to self-confidence. After watching the sunrise together for 90 minutes, Dyer told Mylett that linking confidence to abilities or achievements creates an endless chase, but linking it to intentions provides stable ground. This became the foundation of Mylett's confidence philosophy.
