Confidence without ego
“It’s about learning not winning”
In order to be confident, we need to open our minds, eyes and ears. A healthy level of self
confidence involves having faith in our abilities and being able to express them effectively
while still recognizing and respecting the strengths and accomplishments of others. Believing
in ourselves and our ideas but with the need to withhold from being self-centered.
It’s about knowing our worth and how to leverage our worth.
The ego is needed to mediate between the unconscious and the conscious. Building
confidence without becoming egotistical or arrogant is to focus on building our skills and
abilities on personal growth and improvement, rather than seeking validation or recognition
from others, dwelling on past successes or comparing ourselves.
When we compare ourselves to others, we remove gratitude from our hearts.
Daily gratitude and maintaining a sense of humility can be a great balance and leads to a
quiet ego.
Creating these works was an exercise in trust and humility, a practice of recognizing my own
worth while allowing space for reflection, gratitude, and the subtle dialogue between inner
voice and outer world. Each layer embodies human emotions – joy, doubt, fear, hope –
interwoven and overlapping, reflecting the internal complexity of self-belief. The
accumulation of layers symbolizes the ongoing search for balance: a quiet ego that honors
both personal growth and the strengths of others.
