The fuel that drives me . . . is insecurity.
It’s an infinite source of energy.
Don’t cap the well. That just lets pressure build up.
Discard the idea that I will somehow magically decide to not be insecure, and the burr under the saddle goes away.
Acknowledge the feeling of insecurity. Look at it. Live with it.
Then, with certainty, use that feeling as fuel to act. “Yeah, I’m alone, afraid, frustrated. Let’s do this anyway.”
