My certainty about things varies all over the place. Everybody's does. However: no matter how right I think I am about something, I can almost always dispassionately consider a counterargument. And when that happens, the only way to lose the argument is to start out wrong and stay wrong. Being right to begin with: victory! Being wrong initially, but then changing your mind to become right: victory! You can win an argument by "losing" it. This makes changing my mind pretty much painless, which is nice. It's definitely easier than tying my ego to my supposed inerrancy. This state of mind took a lot of practice over the course of several years to achieve, and I'm still far from perfect here, but it's definitely worth the trouble.
