Modesty is the emotional state of being that I am expressing when I allow my achievements, accomplishments & attainments to speak for my Self.
Modesty is the way, or mode, that is best. The mode-est way is the third choice, which is the balance between pride & humility.
- Pride is the state of being outstanding or standing out from the crowd
- Humility is the state of being like the crowd, without standing out
Modesty is outstanding humility. It is being proud of not being proud. It is outstanding confidence without outstanding arrogance. It is outstanding humility without outstanding humbleness.
- Humility is being like others, being neither superior nor inferior
- Pride is seeing myself as being better than others
- Modesty is my Self being Good Enough
