• What makes you the most insecure in life? Is it the success of others? Is it people who are doing what you want to do someday but you can’t do currently? Is it constant comparison to people and things that are not even running the same race as you? Do the exact opposite of what insecurity tells you to do. Cheer for somebody who is winning when you’re tempted to tear them down. Reach out to the person who you wish would reach out to you. When comparison creeps in, remind yourself that you are content simply being you. Insecurity’s grip on your life is not as tight as you may imagine.
