Humility is often misunderstood. Its not a matter of having low self-confidence. One of the Latin roots of humility means from the earth. Its about being groundedrecognizing that were flawed and fallible. Confidence is a measure of how much you believe in yourself. Evidence shows thats distinct from how much you believe in your methods. You can be confident in your ability to achieve a goal in the future while maintaining the humility to question whether you have the right tools in the present. Thats the sweet spot of confidence.
