Why do we feel so insecure in ourselves? How to cope up?
The major reason for any of our insecurities is...love?? possessiveness? envy?
No.... none of these!
It is primarily expectation and the fear of rejection! Yes, because we are all brought up in a way, that we
associate ourselves...our identity with the external material. Right from our name to our work! It is the external that defines us. In this mayhem, we lose ourselves, as us!
The expectation bred, illusionary rejection, feeds the ego and thus envy, anger and greed.
This is where we lose compassion, not only for others, but primarily, for our own selves. We constantly seek validation from others and thus lose our core. Hence it is all the more vital, that we learn to deal with rejection calmly and learn to feel complete, within ourselves.
For this, we need to know ourselves first. ‘Know thyself and accept yourself as you are!"
This will facilitate acceptance of others too.
At core every soul is compassionate.
However in the process, if you find otherwise, you may consider to identify the root cause of your different core. There is a high possibility of negative externality on your soul.
Thus, try to address the cause, to regain, your compassionate soul. Let go, what is gone!
Step two is to love thyself. Decide what you cherish the most and how you would accomplish it?
Step three -execute fearlessly, without the fear of rejection.
Does it mean that you would be trapped again in the mundane??
Yes you may, however, now it will be in an awakened, aware, conscious state and thus inflict minimal pain.
