Where are our insecurities bred? Why do we choose to suffer feelings of inadequacy? How can we go about denying ourselves things we deserve and are entitled to under the pretense of humility? They’re all the same question and the answer is simple. Our personal insecurities, the soft-spots in our psychological armor, come from what we tell ourselves. We are our own most influential advisers. The things we hear and believe Read the rest of this entry »
