Overcoming Insecurities - Not Sure What To Do?
Are you overcoming insecurities, and not sure what you should do? Well, first thing, stop being unsure! When you are overcoming your insecurities, it may get really difficult and it can seem more overwhelming and may make us even more insecure than we were to start. Does it sound like we’re acting in vain here? Well, no, we aren’t.
When you are actively working on overcoming your insecurities, it’s kind of like cleaning out a really, really nasty garage. At the very beginning, you feel overwhelmed when you face what you have to clear out. You start throwing stuff around (coming to terms with your insecurities) and feel like you’ll never manage to get through everything. You want to quit, but you don’t stop pushing. Eventually, stuff gets even messier in there, and you feel like you’re worse off than you were when you began!
In actuality, you are coming close to getting rid of your trash (overcoming your insecurities), and you just need to do a little more work. You have to give yourself the necessary time to clear out the rest of the trash and put everything in its appropriate place.
You notice you have a lot of amazing things hidden in that unnecessary debris and clutter, but it was all buried because you had not yet taken on the mission of overcoming your insecurities.
Overcoming those insecurities will bring you right back to the place you are at now.
You’ll just be a stronger, more confident person.
The first step to overcoming insecurities is realizing what your insecurities actually are. Is it that you think you aren’t the type of person that deserves a good job? Do you have a problem imagining your ideal person being interested in someone like you? What insecurities do you have to overcome before you can feel good about yourself?
Try to ask yourself that, and listen quietly for the answer. Don’t worry…I’ll wait.
Once you know the insecurity you will be overcoming, decide to yourself right now that you’re going to plow right through it. Overcoming insecurities is one thing, but facing them and admitting that they do not have any power over you at all, is a force so much stronger. You won’t need to do anything crazy, but you’ll have to get uncomfortable at times.
If you are in a state of comfort, you aren’t growing, and you are not overcoming those insecurities at all. Overcoming insecurities is like a baby taking their first steps. How many times have you seen a baby give up because things were difficult or uncomfortable? How many times do they fail before they actually succeed?
Too many right?
And yet they continue trying until they have it down perfectly, then they talk, then they learn, and then….they overcome insecurities. Insecurities are a BIG part of your ego. And I don’t like to believe that the ego is a part of me…or you.
I contemplate whether or not the ego is some sort of poisonous by product of individuals that still have not overcome their insecurities, and they somehow manage to whisper their foul suggestions to us.
What do I mean exactly?
Imagine that you desire a car. If you have a desire for that car because it is truly what YOU want, that is just you wanting a car. If you want that car because “It’ll be so damn cool,” that’s your ego. If you are trying to win over someone of the opposite sex, just because your friends will be completely jealous, that’s your ego. Overcoming insecurities is not hard, but it isn’t easy. It’s like tossing out the debris that useless a-hole “Ego” left for you in your garage. You’ll sweat, you’ll cuss, and it might be very uncomfortable at times, but you can do it.
That debris isn’t yours, so don’t act like it is.
