Confess. You clicked on this post because of the title didn't you? :) It is intriguing I admit. In truth, I couldn't figure out exactly how to word it so there it is - the post is forever stuck with the odd title.
Here's what I mean by it:
I am grateful for the security I have about myself at my core. Sometimes on the surface I'm not so secure in me and who I am, but I always am at the core and when the surface times pop up I rely on my core to remind all of me that I am secure in who I am. I realize this periodically when things like the following example happen. I wasn't invited to something that mutual friends of mine were invited to. I didn't really think too much about it until a friend came to me and explained why I wasn't invited. You know what? It didn't have all that much to do with me and I understood. I got it and wasn't bothered in the least. Even if it did have to do with me I would have been okay because the reality is - we aren't going to get along or click with everyone, we just aren't. We can be civil and courteous and friendly to all people but we aren't going to click with everyone. 15 years ago I would have been anxious and upset and wondering why I wasn't picked and "nobody" liked me. Today? I was reassuring the friend who came to explain that all is well and I'm not in the least offended. I thought through that response and I realized it's because I have security about myself at my core. Whew, so grateful for that kind of growth in me!
