As is the case with everything else in life, balance is the key. Being more self-aware of your internal state of mind will help you differentiate between being confident and over-confident. When you have a healthy level of confidence, you are wary of your limitations and plan accordingly. When you are over-confident, you do not see any impediment in front of you, there is less planning and preparation and you feel invincible at all times. This can lead to complacency. So do a self-check once in a while and align your confidence to a healthy state. read less

You can't change whats going on around you until you start changing whats going on within you.

I think, it is about assessing your limitations in terms of knowledge, decision making, handling complicated situation etc. through real life experiences, and using those assessments as a reference point in future life.
