Self-Love
Their power comes from us.
We all have insecurities. We doubt our looks, our abilities, our intellect, our futures. We have been conditioned to think like this. This is human nature. The problem is not the existence of the insecurities, rather it is the focus we place on them.
What we focus on we bring awareness to, and thus we give power to.
When we focus on our insecurities, their strength grows. They become more real, and consume us more fully. It’s a vicious spiral.
Who thrives when we fall into the trap of not loving ourselves?
- Advertisers of consumer goods: Marketers
And why does this trap exist in the first place? Who conceived its design?
- Self-destructive behavior: Alcohol and drugs, Facebook, Twitter
Ultimately it is not about eliminating the insecurities we feel, but rather being able to let go of them. It is about building an awareness of why we are feeling these insecurities and who is benefiting from the power that is created from them.
