We all have felt insecure at some point in our lives. Most people have experienced lack of confidence in their own value and capability, lacks trust in themselves or others, or has fears that a present positive state is temporary and will let them down and cause them loss or distress by "going wrong" in the future.
Security is elusive, i'ts impossible. We all die, we all get old, we all get sick, people leave us, people change us, nothing is secure. That's actually the good news. Unless, of course if your whole life focuses so much on being secure. When that is the focus of your life it nearly always causes some degree of isolation as a typically insecure person withdraws from people to some extent. The greater the insecurity, the higher the degree of isolation. Like offense and bitterness, it grows in layered fashion, often becoming an immobilising force that sets a limiting factor in the person's life.
To overcome insecurity, arouse the courage to take small steps in learning to experience success and overcoming the lack of belief in self. Once the success is experienced, one can build on it to gain the courage to act out of a strong conviction in self-goodness and worth. Take a rational approach to each problem you face so that you are no longer inhibited by debilitating fears or beliefs. Have a healthy and humorous belief in self in order to overlook the exaggerated need for acceptance and approval.
