humble or proud?

I just finished a chapter in Carry On, Warrior, by Glennon Doyle Melton. The chapter is titled, The Golden Coin. Powerfully mind blowing.
I love, love, love when someone puts into words, in short simple words in fact, something I have been pondering for years. Something that fills my mind with countless thoughts and ideas.
It's like, "Oh. That's it? That's it!" And then I start debating other things in my mind because there's suddenly more room.

The Golden Coin is the balance between humility and confidence. They are opposite yet they need each other. They are connected like the two sides of a coin.
We need both to be whole but it's hard to find the right balance. When we lack too much of one, the other will consume us in an unhealthy way.
I used to struggle with worry and guilt about having too much pride. It's funny because I had no confidence back then. Zero confidence. My overbearing humility was trying to find confidence to balance itself. Without any confidence humility worried that every little thing I did and said was too much. Was I too selfish, too prideful, too needy? I was unconsciously reaching for someone to acknowledge me and be proud of me, to build me up. I was going about it all wrong though, just going in circles.
It's like what a friend told me: "you're a good mom." I'm trying but I don't feel like I'm doing enough. "That means you are a good mom. End of discussion." but…

Trying is good. It means we are aware we are not where we want to be and we won't give up until we get there.
In time the confidence will catch up to the humility, or vice-versa, and the universe will align and there will be a huge celebration inside me and I'll dance and shout, "I am enough!"

This is what Glennon says:
  "Be confident because you are a child of God. Be humble because everyone else is too."
