Pride vs. Confidence

At the alt last week the underlying question of the whole service was who are you. for some reason this really hit me hard. if you ask an eighteen year old who they are, the majority could not tell you. The reason why this hit me hard is not because I had no idea who I was supposed to be. Rather I know exactly who I'm made to be.
Since then I have been struggling with this; am I just confident in who God made me to be or is it plain pride. by the dictionary's definition confidence:belief in powers, trustworthiness or reliability of a person or thing. pride: a high or inordinate opinion of ones own dignity.
After looking at the definitions I decided that I'm confident, not prideful. I simply believe and completely trust Gods will for my life and I for now I know who I am and who I am called to be.
