“The more you seek security, the less of it you have. The more you seek opportunity, the more likely it will be that you will achieve the security you desire.”
What this quote means
The pursuit of security can trap us in fear and inaction. Paradoxically, the more we seek to protect ourselves, the less secure we feel. In contrast, by turning towards opportunities, we develop skills, confidence, and resilience, which provide more lasting security.
