Let yourself be free from the feeling of insecurity

Most of us live in the fear of betrayal. Thoughts like ‘What will happen if he or she cheats on me? What will happen if someone betrays me?’ come to mind at some point in our lives. These are symptoms of a disease from which we all seem to be suffering. And the name of that disease is ‘insecurity’.

It might seem to be natural to experience insecurity, but how destructive it is in your inner world, you can’t even imagine. Have you ever wondered, ‘Why do people live in the fear of betrayal?’ It is because when they are betrayed by someone, they feel hurt. And they are unable to bear that feeling… a feeling that leaves them uncomfortable.

People might cheat us, betray us, break our trust or blatantly lie, but no one in this world is capable or strong enough to hurt us permanently. It is only we who can hurt ourselves. It is our own creation. Every emotion which we create is first felt by us, and then felt by someone else. So, from now let us decide not to create this type of feeling. If someone cheats us, forgive them and happily move on. Forgiving others solves half the trouble… in our lives, at least! Don’t doubt them and don’t live wondering what if they cheated again.

This power of ours sooner or later reaches that person and makes them realise their true nature, and what wrong they did to you. While they feared that you’d be mad at them, you would have done them a favour and unknowingly helped them live their life better and make the right choices.
