Your confidence in your abilities could make you feel more able and willing to show your desire to take on new challenges. Although you may be aware of your capacity to succeed, it might be necessary to keep in mind that others may view your self-assurance in an entirely different way. Unless you remain modest about your accomplishments and ideas, others might even think that you are full of pride. This may then be a good time to examine just how you view yourself and what you are capable of doing -- perhaps allowing yourself to see that your successes are not only the result of your hard work but are also due to the support, assistance and warm reception of your ideas from other people today. Seen in this way, your talents are an extension of everything positive and supportive around you and a product of your gifts, combined with an acceptance and understanding of yourself and others.

True competence comes from being able to know how our aptitude can best serve other people. When we feel confident, if we are not careful and mindful of how our attitude may affect others, we might come off as being arrogant. Viewing our talents from within the lens of humility, however, allows us to not only acknowledge what we are able to do but also to respect and give credence to the people who help make it happen. By recognizing what your gifts can offer others today, your skills will be more greatly appreciated.
