Potential awkwardness vs potential consequences
It’s ok to let people who seem perfectly fine know that you’re there for them and will listen without judgment if they ever just want to talk. Because the potential awkwardness in doing this is still far less significant than the potential consequences for not.

Touching people’s lives
If you want to be a positive force in people’s lives, you don’t need anyone’s acceptance or permission to do that. Nor do you have to follow anyone else’s standard on how to do it.
There will always be people critical of how you choose to make a positive difference in the world, but the fact is, those people are not your target. Your target is the one person whose life you make a little bit better by being a part of it. And after that person, it’s the next one.

Accepting praise
When you are being genuinely appreciated for something, accept it. And if you know you can improve upon what you are being appreciated for, don’t point it out. Just do it.
Everyone is a work-in-progress. That doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t allow ourselves to be appreciated for where we are on our journey.
Just because you’re not on top of the mountain doesn’t mean you can’t be appreciated for the things you’re doing to get there.

Confident vs insecure
One thing that separates the confident from the insecure is that confident people tend to acknowledge their mistakes, learn from them, and move on, whereas insecure people frequently do whatever they can to avoid admitting flaws & often seek ways blame their blunders on someone or something else.
