Getting Past Insecurities
We always have a tendency to see those things that do not exist and to be blind to the great lessons that are right there before our eyes.
From Paulo Coelho’s, The Pilgrimage.
All of us are beset with insecurities of one kind or another. It’s just that some are better at dealing with them. Some not so much.
The list is long. We worry about what our partners and others think of us, We worry about not being able to compete. We worry that we’re not good enough, We worry about how we look and, one of my favourites, we worry that people will find out that we are fraud. You can add your own to this list.
The big question is how to overcome these? How do we attain a sense of contentment and peace of mind in this swirling mass of negative thoughts?
It isn’t easy but finding the solutions starts with one thing – our willingness to open up our eyes and face up to what we don’t want to face up to.
And that means taking responsibility for our lives, finding the courage to ask the hard questions and then working through the issues until we find the solution. One step at a time.
