The insecurity ghost!

As humans we are all a bundle of insecurities. Some of them depend on how others treats us and some on how we treat ourselves.
      Society often tries to point it out to us if we are tall enough, rich enough, successful enough according to its own barometers . Hence, one of our biggest struggles turn out to be keeping these insecurities under check and being strong enough to not believe in them. But a greater struggle is when we have to deal with our own securities ; those which emerge out of self- doubt. Although some of these are true and come with a sense of reality ; some of these are apparent and emerge because of our own comparisons with everyone around. All of these together persists in our mind deep down but tend to be invisible in a happy confident state of mind. However, when we hit a kind of rock bottom, all these negative thoughts suddenly go on in our mind like some audio cassette in auto play mode. We tend to believe in the negative things more than the positive. Likewise,I was going through a similar phase when I happened to randomly read about converting insecurities into our capabilities ; like that famous quote of building a castle out of bricks thrown at you. Better said than done , I agree. But it may not be impossible right? If we look into it, these thoughts arise because of our own denial of our flaws sometimes. Accepting them wholeheartedly for once, may be the first step. What if we are short,dark or a little extra curvy, until we are healthy we should love and accept ourselves however we are. That's how God wanted us to be and let's admire his creativity. However, when it is not about physicality let's not blame God and limit ourselves since he has given our mind infinite capabilities we are at times unaware of. No one is perfect but he has made all of us special and unique. Why judge ourselves from someone else's perception and make a flaw out of it. Instead of whining that we are different from others,let's be proud of it!  Let us find that special unique part in ourselves and celebrate it. Perhaps, that can convert our insecurities into capabilities !! :-)
