This is of course a simple fact but one that might give you an ah-ha moment when given more thought. We all want to feel confident but most of us hate feeling insecure. Insecurity is the phase that comes before getting confident. You have to go through this first, there is no other way around it. It is like day and night, they would not exist without each other. Be brave, dare to feel insecure and you will open up the way to real self-confidence. If not, you will only end up with a false sense of confidence, a shallow layer that acts to mask your insecurity.
