In this video, we're going to talk about what exactly the difference is between confidence and arrogance. Here's the thing, this can easily get confused, and is typically confused by a lot of individuals, because what is the difference? Right? How can you tell that somebody is being confident versus being arrogant, right? And a lot of times people will place a tag on somebody, right? And say, you know, they're being arrogant.

But really, they're being confident. I'm going to show you the differences here, as far as confidence versus arrogance, so you won't ever have to confuse the two ever again. So let's go right ahead and jump into this. Now. The biggest difference here is that arrogance is the notion of being confident with the leaning towards elitism, bragging, being macho, showing off and having to tell people about your accomplishments versus really, you know, having your accompany Men speak for themselves, right? So here's an example someone who considers themselves to be better than everyone else.

Because they have a certain skill set. They have a certain traits, maybe, let's say, in athletes, okay? They are really good at sports. Let's say they're really good at basketball, right? They go and they brag about it to others, and then they put others down because they don't have that skill set, or they're not good enough or in their eyes, right? They're not good at a particular sport.

So that's what you really want to look out for is people who have to announce, make it known that they're confident, because if they weren't confident internally, they wouldn't have to announce that to the world. Right. So those that are actually bragging about their skill set or putting others down. They're masking their insecurities about themselves, right? Because what somebody who has confidence they Know that they have this skill, right? They know that they are great at what they do.

But there's no reason to talk about it, as it's already known to them. And they know that the only opinion that matters is their own, and opinions of others do not affect them whatsoever, right? Instead, these types of individuals have a very calm, quiet, powerful confidence that comes from that awareness of their abilities, right? They are able to just make it known by their presence, they don't need to talk about it. It's their actions that are speaking for them, right? That confidence comes from within and doesn't have to be voiced.

This is a biggest difference here. with arrogance and confidence. arrogant people have to announce themselves have to announce their accolades and talk about it and then put others down, right. confident people don't have to do any of that. And here's a really good quote here. By Leo, I believe his last name is Tolstoy.

And he says an arrogant person considers himself perfect. This is the chief harm of arrogance, as it interferes with the person's main task in life, which is becoming a better person. Right? This is so key here because we as humans, right, we're here to become better each and every day so that we can be constantly improving ourselves, right? Because who we are today, it's not going to be the same person that gets that promotion, or makes more money or you know, gets that new job, you're not going to be that same person. It's through experience through growing through learning new material, right, and maybe learning a new skill.

Those are the people that understand that constant growth is important to their evolution as humans, right. So I really wanted you to understand confidence versus arrogance. Because again, Confidence is something that is internal does not have to be said. arrogance is something that people will typically have to announce or let others know about their accolades, and then also putting people down because they don't have the same level of skill set. So that's going to be it here for this video. And we'll see you on the next one.
