As children we are often taught to be humble, one of our first lessons in life. Humility is often praised as a virtue while confidence is often frowned upon. Self-confidence doesn't mean you're arrogant or think you're better than anyone else; it means knowing your worth.
Rarely are we taught how to truly embrace self-love, individuality and self-confidence as this tends to upset society’s goal of conformity. We are taught that too much self-confidence can be offensive to others. As if to say that two stars cannot shine simultaneously? Implicating that your own outward expression of self-worth prevents another from loving themselves in the same way? The truth is, there’s nothing wrong with having self-confidence, even if it unsettles others in their own insecurities. In a world that often benefits from your doubt, choosing to believe in yourself is a powerful act of rebellion that can change the trajectory of your life forever.
When you believe in yourself, you stop seeking constant validation from others and start making decisions that truly align with who you are NOW and who you would like to be in the future. It gives you the courage to take risks, speak up, and show up fully for yourself, even when things feel uncertain. Understand that no amount of humbling yourself will ever lift another person from a place of self-loathing or self-doubt. Know that you ARE the person that life has called you to be. Instead of a life of playing small, focus instead on coming to love yourself so thoroughly that this world could never make you doubt your own self-worth. Shouldn’t THAT be the goal?

You h as be absolutely put this in the most direct, simple, & with so much love! Please keep this going! I love it!!!!!
Especially in upbringing, being good and humble is switched with being docile and it’s never corrected. Think about it and you were rewarded for going with the flow in silence. How asking questions is met with chastisement and/or punishment. It’s a sad truth many carry into adulthood then wonder why being a good person is never enough. When in reality, they are just docile never learning the difference.
I see both confident and humility working together. I believe it to be a balance. I like the analogy, “as if to say two stars cannot shine simultaneously…” I do believe those parents that focus so much on humbling the child should do more on esteeming the child and teaching them to love who they are but be humble also. I see confidence as one of those things that was broken among some people, who only learn later how important it is to have it and maintain it, oh, first recognize what it is. This is a good topic!
Absolutely amazing!!!
