No Such Thing as Insecurity

 

There’s No Such Thing as Insecurity. It’s Only Thought

Sydney Banks was a Scottish welder with a ninth-grade education.In 1973, he had an epiphany.Sparks were flying at work but also in his marriage. And not in a good way. He and his wife went to a couples retreat.An eminent psychologist from New York led the retreat. Syd felt insecure among the “educated” attendees. He popped out for a breath of air and bumped into another psychologist.Syd shared his insecurities with the psychologist, who responded: “There’s no such thing as insecurity. It’s only thought”.Astounded, Syd didn’t sleep for two nights. On a beach, Syd said he was “literally shrouded in white light.” It was a remarkable, earth-shattering awakening.The takeaway? Thought is the Play-Doh of life. We aren’t an angry, stressed, or insecure person. We just think we are.Are you mistaking thoughts and feelings as the truth about who you are?
