Driven, Paralyzed, or Defeated by Insecurity Fears?

Our 3 deepest fears are that we are not safe, we do not matter,  and that we do not belong.  Fear drives us to address these essential needs in some way and to be on the lookout for any threats to their not being met.  Perceptions that our security needs are being met bring satisfaction and pride, while indications they are not being met brings angst and shame.  To ensure survival of our species, our brains evolved a heightened sensitivity to insecurity fears, a strong propensity (bias) to be suspicious, doubting, or go negative.  That is why it is important to counterbalance this leaning by noticing and appreciating all evidence that we are safe, secure, and connected.   Practicing gratitude works.
