What are you waiting for?
I have decided not to seek Security.
It occurred to me recently that Security is an illusion. An illusion because I am mortal.
If I were immortal, Security might be something worth striving for, I'm not sure.
But I am mortal. And on top of that, everything in the world is uncertain. Not only could I die today, even if I don’t die today, as I continue to live, cataclysmic events could occur that could render civilization as we know it extinct in some part of the world.
What if that were the part of the world where I happened to be at the time? Or where my money was. Or where all records of my money were.
Security? It’s an illusion.
And seeking Security puts me into a survival mode. Seeking Security makes me always be safe. In the pursuit of Security, I am surviving instead of living
I don't mean I have decided to be reckless, or that I don't put aside some money.
But I have stopped seeking something that doesn't exist. I have stopped kidding myself that I can ever find security.
Security comes from within me. From letting go of a need for certainty about the future. A future I cannot control.
