Are you extremely happy with the way things are going on in life? Is everything picture perfect? Do you feel you have a lot of friends, loving people around you and yet a few people who pose themselves to be your competitors. (Yet, you secretly know that they aren't a match to you)
Does your life seem to be going on without any tides of misery, insecurity or unhappiness? (when it comes to your career or intellectual aspirations) Well, this might be a rare phenomenon which might happen to only two kinds of people in the world. Either you are an obtrusively content person (I'd rather call it saintly) or you have achieved something 'top of the world'.
Probably, you can be saintly by nature and feel contented with whatever life showers on you. That way, I'm really happy for you. Cuz you have probably won over life's rigmarole of changing desires. But the other way... you presume that you have won something 'top of the world'. This is a pretty dangerous tide to surf on.
In life, we can never assume that we have reached the top rung of the ladder. If you assume so, you will have nowhere but to get back down. Life throws insecurities, desires, wants and demands in multitude at you. It also throws talents and instances where you involuntarily outlay your talents and other people recognize them in you.
These are nothing but opportunities that flow down to you like angels from the sky that scream out your name and call upon you to achieve greater heights.
When you feel absolutely secure and happy in a place that holds your intellectual altitude or your career. You need to halt and think again. Have you chosen the right path, afterall?
When the feeling of insecurity about your progress probes you to think more, you are actually put in the right track. Rather, the untrodden path through which you might probably discover whatever you are destined to acquire. Otherwise, there might only be stagnation all the way.
So go ahead! Welcome insecurity into your life. It is the best precursor for reinstatement of your self-worth as it provokes you to revisit your intellectual altitude, your goals and aspirations for the times ahead.
For someone once said, "If you are the wisest man in the room, you're in the wrong room".
