There’s a thin line between confidence and arrogance….it’s called humility. Confidence smiles. Arrogance smirks.
Author Unknown
Some people think that humility is a sign of weakness. Nothing could be further from the truth! Confidence simply means we know who we are, we know what we’re doing, and we are going to remain positive no matter the outcome.
Humility does not mean we walk around depressed, with our head hanging low! No way. However, humility does keep us from becoming arrogant. Arrogance is the bad type of pride that makes us think we are better than other people. It can cause divisions, and hurt other people, without even caring that pain has been inflicted.
So I think the author is saying that having humility is important in order for us to have balance. Smirking is no good, because our heart is not right, and it causes pain. Smiling is very good, because it tells other people, you still care, but you know who you are. You are a positive person!
Have a great week!
Peace.

Well said, Nicodemas! Most things in life are a balance – too often we get that wrong in so many areas. Good to be reminded that balance keeps us standing straight.

Thank you Alok! I really appreciate your comments. Peace.
This is great, Nico! A while ago I had a discussion here on WordPress with another blogger about the very same thing and he perceived the humility in a wrong way… I was glad he was able to agree with my vision of humility (after I explained it in detail) and it was the very same thing you wrote about, just different words.
Love this, Thank You! 🙂
