The difference between arrogance and confidence is humility.

[TXP]

Confidence comes through learning, and learning comes through humility.

[jaddy]

"If there is one thing I am proud of, it is my HUMILITY"!

[CaseyPlexy]

So specializing and learning a particular skill that most people on the earth dont know or aren’t aware of is what brings confidence. At the same time you get wrecked by other specialists in your field, makes you humble.

[bumpercoach]

accept your weaknesses
and appreciate your blessings
GRATITUDE is the grand shortcut
allowing you to bypass pride-evil-destruction
and go straight to humility from the height of success
so the typical cycle doesnt keep dragging you down

“Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing is so gentle as real strength.”

Trials of Life will definitely teach Humility. 💪

[StimParavane]

There is a famous Japanese saying attributed to Bodhidharma - "7 times knocked down, 8 times get up."

[Eyou]

I tell my daughter and my staff, my words aren’t humble but my actions are. Definitely lines up with the external/internal example given. I usually add why my words aren’t humble - it’s just more fun. We can have a good time while doing our work, as long as we are doing it right.

Trying to join the military I had confidence, motivation, and wasn’t shy. Having a collapsed lung and getting disqualified ruined me. 8 years later I’m trying to regain everything I lost.

[akinkunmicook]

“Confident but not cocky!” I like that!

[IRONHQ]

Me: Hey Jocko “insert question “

Jocko: Jiujitsu ...

Just poking fun good stuff as always

Humility and Confidence -two sides of the same coin of truth

[francismausley]

Clear thought... Thank you. Once when a child asked 'Abdu'l-Bahá' of the Baha'i Faith why all the rivers of the earth flow into the ocean, He said, 'because it sets itself lower than them all and so draws them to itself’. ~ Bahá'í World, vol. IV

[lucapuzzoli]

I will start bbj next week for this reasons . Push ego on one side and develop self confidence.

[chrisrubio]

Is the balancing point between confidence and humility the mindset to show up and give your best effort? The confidence to take your best shot, and the humility to not worry about the outcome.

[ricardocedillo]

Echo: tells wife about guy he tapped*

Wife: you know what would have really impressed me? If you had washed the dishes.

Boom. Humility.
Gotta watch out. Wife-jitsu.

[ALEX-ehqk]

My problem with both of these was that I was too humble I would put people on a pedestal in my mind and bilittle myself but now in realize it’s like the Instagram effect I compared my self to their highlights but not them as a person even comparison I think should be done like I did it but I digress. I am or could be as good or greater than anyone

[sarahsmith]

I feel there’s a fine line here with humility. Someone who doesn’t think or act as if there better than another person is a generalization of humility. What about when you see another person being arrogant and you think to yourself, yeah he’s a dbag I’m nothing like him, as in I’m better than that guy?

[Biggmofo]

BJJ is indeed a nice way to unleash energy positive or negative. Win some lose some. I once got my skinny knee semi snapped sideways. But you just pick yourself up and get at it again.
