Most people, if you were to strip them of everything they have inside, are merely searching for love and meaning in their lives; but to some, it is a never-ending, self-fulfilling prophecy of dead ends and wrong routes taken.
We are always going to be our worst enemy and suppressor in seeking our personal nirvana!
If we were our biggest fan, we would clone ourselves and when we stepped up to bat, there would be 50,000 screaming clones of us cheering for our success.
We were probably taught by society or learned this ourselves, but certainly, we were not born with this affliction.
Have you ever heard that it’s all in your head? Ninety nine percent of our success whether professionally, personally,or athletically comes from inside us and our physical attributes are merely that, tangible aspects of us and that's all.
Although, we could live truthfully, confident, secure in ourselves, and show all the beautiful colors that we came into this world with, these colors that have been skewed and faded for such a long time.
This mindset of not taking today or tomorrow for granted and knowing that the end could happen at anytime; and therefore living this gift of life as honest, not only ourselves, but others, is extremely powerful.
The truth will set you free! (Something I'm working on)
Insecurity cages us in a personal prison when we could be sailing behind warm winds towards a brighter and more gratifying future. It rents space in our mind and asks us to pay its bills. It impedes our personal progression and tells us that we can’t, when we can.
Regretfully, this is an internal force, not something external that we can run far away from and never see again.
Looking back, do I see my past and at some points feeling so insecure in some situations that the required task couldn't be completed because I felt inept?
Was I so insecure within that I had to feel secure by controlling others? If I were secure, I would know that my security is about letting go and having faith in my abilities no matter what situation I'm in.
Being secure is not “I’m better than you and I’m going to constantly show you;” to the contrary, it is an inner confidence that needn’t be exuded, but known within, regardless of a checkered or questionable past.
Remember, we are not on earth a very long time in the whole scheme of things, so wouldn’t it be better to get the best we can out of ourselves instead of locking everything up in an internal safe of insecurities?
