you know, you're a person of value.
Fundamentally, you have, I'm trying not to be cheesy North American here.
I'm trying to tap into a real sense of all, which is like, fundamentally, it is amazing who you are, that you are alive in this moment, the miracle and the glory of it all.
And you're doing great
Just as a recognition about whether it's going well for you at the moment or whether it's going bad for you, you're probably doing your best.
You're probably showing up with as much courage and as much fortitude and as much grit and all of those things as you've got.
So keep going.
You're awesome and you're doing great.
And this idea of humble confidence is this kind of holding both of these things, which is like, man, I am a messy and flawed human being.
I'm also awesome and I am doing great.
And they are both true.
100%.
Yeah, exactly.
They're best.
Let me tell you, if I may, one just final thing around the humility piece, just picking up on what you said, which is it can show up in kind of two ways that are slightly corrupted to this meaning that you and I are talking about.
One is this sense of effacement.
You've got to belittle yourself.
You're like, you're lesser than.
Mm-hmm.
And then there's the whole humble brag thing, which is like, look how amazing I am.
