Insecurity:
Feelings of insecurity can range from isolated occurrences to a continuing feeling that will not go away. In all cases the origins are the same - the lack of personal power, of being unable to be “master of one’s own destiny”. What is needed is a quiet acceptance that there are always some thing in life that we can control and some things that we cannot. It is the fear of the things that we cannot control that give rise to the feelings of insecurity.
This composite mirrors the sentiments of the Gastalt Prayer which can be paraphrased as follows:- Give me the courage to change those things that need to be changed and can be changed; the ability to accept those things that cannot be changed and the wisdom to discern the one from the other.
