When we feel “secure” we have the confidence to step out onto the cliff and  traverse the terrain.  When we have confidence in ourselves and others around us, we are able to proceed without faltering.

So we ask, where does “security” come from?  Do you get your sense of security from a number in your bank book, from the friends that you have, and the relationships that you’ve forged?  Or, rather, do you get security from within?  Do you know that no matter what the universe throws at you, you can deal with it?

When we look within for our sense of security, we look to ourselves.  We can look at our own talents, skills and confidence level to determine that we can handle anything.  Security is something that is best when it is internal, rather than looking to the external.  Looking “outside” for your security will never provide the confidence that you need to pull yourself up and to tackle the most daunting of challenges.

You came into this lifetime to have challenges and to grow.  It’s difficult to grow when we keep looking to others for the answers.  It’s difficult to overcome challenges and to build the confidence that we need, when we rely on others to do it for us.  Listen to your inner-self and find the confidence that you need in yourself, to develop a “knowing” that you can and will do whatever is necessary, whenever you are called upon to do great things!

When we realize that “security” is confidence in ourselves, we can then build that confidence by “stretching” ourselves to do new things.  When we “do” we “learn.”  When we “do” we build confidence.  Maybe today it’s time to start “doing!”

The most confident person understands that no matter what happens s/he can handle it.  When we realize that security is a concept that comes from within, we take charge of our lives.  Quit letting others tell you when you are secure, and build the skills and experiences necessary so you truly “know” that you will always land on your feet!
