Happiness, greatness, pride-nothing is secure, nothing keeps.
- Euripides
If you want total security, go to prison. There you’re fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking … is freedom.
- Dwight D. Eisenhower
What is security? This is a very interesting topic. I think a lot about the security on the past few days. I realized that if I can understand security, I can much accelerate mine development and get fantastic results.
Earlier, several years ago (and, sometimes, now
) I was always chasing security, I even went too far with it, and I have always had only one goal – to feel secure, safe. I rarely go into a situation where I would not be sure of the outcome of the situation, and even when I entered the situation about I feel insecure, I would be anxious and nervous and wanted to leave this “no security” situation as fast as I could.
However, I believe that everyone sooner or later realize that if he always “play it safe”, more is lost than gained, as he always see the same thing every day, be with the same people, living in the same way, and chose to live, well, boring life.
That was the same with me. In those rare occasions when I did something new and uncertain, I felt so … excited, thrilled, I’d learned something new … just, I’d progressed, grow, developed. I felt much better, I work better. My confidence would grow and I believe in myself more.
Of course, I not always live such life… but that’s fine, I’m not perfect … Because change is uncertain… there is no security things will be as I want. That is why I write this, I want to grow.
When you aim for security, you usually see things like this – “if I try something new, that can ruin my life. Maybe this will be a new far worse than this. I might end up on the street, in jail, without love, loved ones, with no status in society “…
But you see, I discovered that security does not exist. Even, in my opinion security is fiction…
Why? Well, more about in future articles…
