YOUR INSECURITIES

Today we're going to talk about insecurities and I'm going to give you an example. If you're walking down the street and someone comes up to you, they stop you as you're walking down the street and say, hey, hey, hey, hey, you have pink hair. Are you going to react to that? Are you going to let that get you down for the rest of the day? Probably not. And the reason why is because you don't have pink hair. But let me give you another example. Let's say someone says, hey, your work sucks, you're not good enough, you're not smart enough, you're not pretty enough, you're not fit enough, you're a failure, you'll never succeed, any of those things. If you have someone say something like that to you and they get a reaction from you, whether that be outwardly or whether that be you being extremely self conscious and make you start questioning what you do in the path that you're on, why is it, why is it getting your reaction from you? And the reason why is because that person is hitting an insecurity that you're holding onto. You're not insecure about pink hair because you don't have pink hair. But if someone tells you you're not good enough and it hits a chord with you, the reason why is because that person is bringing up and bringing to light an insecurity that you are holding onto. So how do you get past this insecurity? Easiest way to do it is this. Get a pen and get a paper and jot down on a piece of paper. What is my insecurity? Where did it come from? How was it reinforced throughout my life and what steps do I need to get rid of it? Because if somebody brings something up to you that gets a reaction that you don't want, it's not their fault for bringing it up. It's your fault for continuing to hold on to that insecurity. And the key of insecurities is you're the only person that can change it. And now if you've identified what it is, well then now it's your job to figure out how to get past it.
