To be humble does not mean to act less than what you are. It means to recognize all that you are without feeling as though any aspect of that recognition makes you better than anyone else.
This is why so many struggle with self confidence, especially along the journey of finding balance in the duality of Ego and Self. In an attempt to not feed the Ego at all, they mistakenly dim the self. Because naturally, when you do let the self shine, you are bound to be complimented and good things multiply and you start to feel "too blessed". But it is a disservice to every human on earth to not be as amazing as you actually are. You cant be concerned with whether or not it will provoke envy or jealousy, or discontent in others when they see you in all your glory. Nor can you worry yourself that they may mistake your confidence of self for arrogance of the ego. That is something they have to fix within themselves. Embrace your magic. You are not small. Making yourself small isn't humility, it's a dissimulation of self.
"Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion." - Rumi
You are God being expressed.
