Cocky

How do you know if you're being cocky? I hear sermons sometimes and think, "I could do better than that". And my next thought is, "you're a cocky jerk". So I go on pondering if I actually am a better communicator or if I'm just being stuck up. If you truly are excellent at something is it cocky to recognize that truth? But if you truly are cocky, how would you ever be able to recognize that? You would always assume that you were excellent even though you're just over-rating yourself. Obviously if you go around telling other people how great you are at something, you're cocky. But what if in your own mind you are simply aware that you would do a better job at certain tasks than a majority of the people out there?

Tomorrow's question: Can you be insecure about whether or not you're cocky?
