Use Your Talents

"Feeling insecure is good for you. It forces you to do something better, drives you to use all your talents." - Helen Gurley Brown, author, publisher, and businesswoman

I have to admit I don't enjoy feeling insecure but I'm definitely familiar with it. My issue with insecurity is that I never seem to want to do something better. It doesn't always motivate me to use my talents. I tend to sit and do nothing when my belief in self is practically non-existent.

After getting to know myself better over the past couple of years, I've come to realize that striving to improve myself and use all of my talents does help to get rid of the insecurity that can overtake me. I must remember to keep putting one foot in front of the other and things seem to fall into place naturally. 

It's taken me a long time to realize this truth. I'm grateful that I'm still learning as I go. Practice, practice, practice - that's what works for me.
