There's a two-question test that reveals exactly how much your self-belief actually matters. Rehan found the answer after quitting professional soccer, while his childhood teammates are playing in the World Cup.

Rehan left home at 13 to pursue professional soccer in France, spending nearly a decade competing at the highest youth and semi-professional level in Europe. He breaks down why he walked away from the sport that had defined his entire identity, not because he couldn't cut it, but because he discovered the difference between "playing with energy" and "working on energy": the moment you stop doing something for love and start doing it as obligation, the game is already lost.

He shares the two-question self-belief test that proves only one person's belief in you actually counts, and explains how his real mission, bringing out the best in people was always the bigger driver, and professional soccer was only ever the vehicle. He also unpacks the Jay Shetty concept that stopped him in his tracks: "I am who I think you think I am" and why realizing it was a trap changed everything.
