We usually over-shoot or under-shoot. Either we become arrogant and too sure of ourselves, or we become insecure and too unsure of ourselves. Threading the needle finding health self-confidence, free from arrogance and insecurity, is our goal for finding inner peace. Being on the lookout, observing with mindfulness, arrogance and insecurity is the key.

Humility and confidence become our warriors.
