Dealing with the Feeling of Insecurity

What is personal insecurity? Why do we feel insecure? And how might we become more secure in ourselves?
"Our whole spiritual transformation brings us to the point where we realize, that in our own being, we are enough."
- Ram Dass
"Everything you need you already have. You are complete right now. You are a whole, total person..."
- Wayne W. Dyer
"Stop looking outside for scraps of pleasure and fulfillment, validation, security or love. You have a treasure within you that is infinitely greater than anything the world can offer."
- Eckhart Tolle

It is indeed a freeing thing to not live for the validation of others!!! I have come a long way in regards to this, on my journey!!! I don't think think anything is wrong with loving the compliments that may come your way, that's nice and all, but you definitely should not base those on your happiness!!! I still believe in giving compliments now and again also. When you look to others to validate you, they end up having some control over you !!! You might even end up confused on who you really are!!! I also i think a big issue is to stop comparing yourselves to others. We should all strive to be our own genuine, authentic self!!! We all are possessed with unique gifts and talents, and are all beautiful in our own way!!! We owe it to ourselves and the world to be who we truly are, and be a great addition to this wonderful mosaic of life!!!! We all have something great and profound to share with this world!!! Know who you are!!! Don't let others keep you down!!!!

Amy ,thanks for your posting and I am so glad that you are saying this to us all. Peace and understanding through our love and kindness ❤

Thank you 😌

For me insecurities , depression, negative feelings are the signal for me to get to work. It's the back of my mind telling me to get off my ass and make my life better. If I'm making the right decisions and putting in the effort others can't rob me of that. Thoreau said, "I went off into the woods to live my life deliberately." That struck home with me. How many of us are dragged through life kicking and screaming? See what happens when you stop fighting it, turn around and live your life with intent.

[@katalystklub]

Appreciate your sharing. I can relate to that and actually am working on focusing on the right goals that have proven to give the best results and go towards that. Instead of focusing on our insecurities and going down in the dumps

It just seems that the future fulfilment is never reached. Like a carrot over the donkeys face. It feels like life improvement teachings often perpetually enforce the feeling that life is not good enough. My favorite moments are the moments when past and future die. And I feel completely content with simply being. I don't have to prove myself to be happy, I don't have to accomplish certain tasks to be enough, the moment being fulfilled in itself. That being said my intent is going to the amazon for volunteer work. I hope that is good enough. But I never feel improved enough. It's a sickness. Ironically the more self help I consume the worse I feel, because these self help videos reinforce the idea that I'm broken. One thing I deeply long for is the ability to personally decide what perspective I want. Irrespective of what anyone or any synchronicity says. To choose my own perspective. Because I'm sick and tired of feeling that I will only be good enough once I've proved myself. Or once I'm close to perfect. I have an almost ravenous hunger to feel good enough just as I am. But I don't. I have to get off my lazy ass and prove myself, I must meet certain conditions of perfection. My life must be neat and tidy and and I can't get below an A. I can't be human. I must be happy all the time or there is something wrong with me. Self help becomes a morbidity. I went to a hippie commune and gave no thought to this nonsense and I felt a lot better

[@jtwalkes]

I try to be conscious of when I start to feel insecure, this way I can talk myself out of it and remember it is just a feeling and I can control my feelings. Old habits die a hard and slow death tho😒

[@radicalhonesty3628]

all I feel is pain and fatigue and exhaustion. I want freedom and romance and love. I can't bear living in stress and poverty...

[@paulbrazil1738]

So glad you are back! Your videos always make me feel better about life.

[@Mystel08]

This came at the right time. Lately I've been having dreams and had been in situations that trigger my insecurities. I've been alone lately so I don't really have anyone to talk to about these issues, but I also learned to tackle these issues head on by myself no matter how uncomfortable it feels sometimes. I'm glad this video is also here to help me expand my perception. Thank you very much!

[@escapism2479]

Your like a warm hug. I feel hopeful and better just seeing your face. Thank you for being here.

Lovely leafy background and bird sounds in your video ☮️ The peace and relief of letting go of external validation It's taken a long time but finally got to that point in life Thank god at last! No more ego trips or worries As always thank you for sharing your thinking 🙏

[@decipheredoffical]

Beautiful message brother. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@technozoki]

Thank you for creating this video.... Couldn't have said it better.... Especially recognizing that seeking validation in external reality is something that does not last.... It's of a short-term nature, just like many other things in life .... And just like Jung said that one who looks outside only dreams.... However, the one who truly looks inside will start to Awaken....

[@florencealbano1141]

We must have the courage to listen to the still voices that guide us from deep within our hearts and to tune out the voiceless negative chatter. Thank you for being a beacon of light within the darkness. May you always be blessed 🙏💖

[@simonavacca3813]

Perfect timing with this video!one of the hardest things on my self growth is insecurities, I don't suffer from depression and I consider myself not a negative person . I find it really hard to not to believe what my ego is telling me because the feeling is so strong and real, this feeling stopped me to do many things in life...I got a bit better in the last years but still I'm far from being free, is also very annoying for the people around me because I feel I need to be assured from someone else over and over and still I'm stuck in this never ending circle of insecurities. Thank you for this precious words.

[@katalystklub]

I understand that, as a mostly positive social person. Usually on the good vibes, not in a fake way, but usually genuinely happy and grateful for so much that many people take it wrong or don't know how to react and bad vibes flow. Most times, people react well to the positivity and even reciprocate it in that moment or in another encounter

I am glad to find you. And hopefully you will be able to help me with my problem. I have noticed I am so attached to people who don't see my value or kindness. Even though I can see so clear my greatness, but why is so hard for me to believe in me and show up for who I am?

Nurturing and the care of yourself and be honest with yourself and others. Living with love and kindness and keeping your own unique heart's knowledge as a result of your life with the focus on what you love and what you need in life. Look at the moment to moment presence without any fear or judgment. Be realistic and authentic and keep it simple. You should not waste your time with self criticism, comparisons, competition and letting others define you. You are creating a new life in each precious moment to moment living in the present moment. Living life with peace and understanding through your heart and your creativity. Be true to your goodness and your generosity of spirit and heart. Stay present and centered in your own life forward with the integrity and dignity that you have. Living with the ability to learn from the past stories and to live in the present moment without any fear, worry, and negative feelings. You will find the joy and comfort that you are giving to others. UBUNTU

Parry your beautiful comments that were sent to me came in my notification but when I click to see the full comments,it doesn't appear so I can't read it.

[@parry3231]

@@Thebluediamoundvision831 I deleted the first comment to you personally. I read it on the page and it was a bit harsh. I think that these opportunities for connecting with people should be a good thing for the most understanding and learning. I think that you are trying hard to find your voice and maybe you have to be careful about your way of saying what you are being told by outside influences. If you assume that you are in the right and you are contributing in a responsible manner then you will find the best way to be present and clear with your words. We all need to cool off and be honest with ourselves and others and to be inspired to see all sides of a story or a situation. It is so important to use the words that you are comfortable with and that you can make it possible to be balanced in your life with the focus on what is true and what is positive. It is a process of learning to live in harmony with the intention of being present and loving in each precious moment of our lives. We all need to be able to finally heal and grow as a worldwide community that is peaceful and respectful of all people equally. Speaking with the flow of energies that resonate out into the world with love and kindness and compassion carry the spirit of honoring life with a generous heart and mind. Relax and enjoy your own heart felt energies and be the person who you are proud to be. You are the best person who can determine what is best for you. Trust yourself and be honest with your words and concepts. Opening up to the world in peace and understanding through your life with loving kindness. ❤
