If you want a strong future: Becoming secure with insecurity is the best security you can have.

About This Quote

If you want a strong future, becoming secure with insecurity is the best security you can have. What many people don’t realize is that insecurity can be a great thing. It isn’t comfortable, but it keeps you on your toes and forces you to rely more on yourself than others. You can never truly know what you are capable of, so if you are satisfied with the level of effort then there is no risk of failure. When you are caught up in the drama of others’ wants and needs, it makes it difficult to keep your focus on yourself and what makes you happy.
