Have you ever wondered where insecurity comes from? It comes from fear. The fear of not being good enough. You may have been told by your parents, or the bully down the street. This made you angry. And because you hurt, you may want to hurt yourself more or hurt other people. So you may be asking yourself, what can I do about it? Are you doomed to feeling this way for the rest of your life? NO. It doesn't have to be this way any longer. Freedom from this destructive pattern is possible, and it is possible right now. You see, the true problem arises when you believe that you aren't good enough, so let's start there. The thought came up, but you are not actually responsible for it. It's automatic. This is referred to as the conditioned mind. When you realize this is true, you will start to feel that a huge weight has been lifted. You have just broken the attachment to years of emotional pain in an instant. This will then become your exercise. Whenever that thought shows itself, you say, I am no longer that thought. It's just a reactive pattern in the mind. Do this before it becomes a negative emotion. If that negative emotion does come out, you treat it like that thought. You realize deeply that this is just a conditioned response. Give it some attention, but do NOT react. Surrender to it and allow it to pass. Take that blanket off, because it no longer serves you. Embrace the unknown, and start to look at life with new eyes.
