Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you can live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively; unless you can choose a challenge instead of competence.

Eleanor Roosevelt
About This Quote

Everybody wants to feel secure. They want to know that they are safe at all times. However, security is not about knowing that you will not be hurt. It’s more of a feeling of assurance that people love you and care about you.

Security is not about predicting that everything will be fine. It’s about the comfort of knowing that things will be alright no matter what happens.
