The Wisdom Of Insecurity Novels & Stories

“You’re better at following a schedule than proving you can handle everything on your own. You don’t feel weaker for allowing someone to hold you or protect you, nor do you shy away from showing your feelings or concerns. When someone contradicts you, insecurity creeps in, even though I know you can deliver a fierce punch when you’re angry and hurt. But I don’t believe violence is your first response to every challenge.” His gaze pierces through me, as if he’s trying to unravel the very fabric of my being. “You don’t see yourself as the center of the universe, let alone your own life. You have no idea of the strength that lies dormant within you, waiting for the right moment to awaken.”

Ejima continued, “Wickedness is inborn, especially when we overlook the precepts of our moral law and try to play God," “But why?” The woman asked as she turned her attention to Ejima, “Why can’t we find wisdom in all of this? Where is the place of understanding?” “Well," Ejima shrugged, "these past few years have taught me so many lessons. You see, the fear of the creator, that is wisdom.” Ejima squeezes the woman’s shoulders gently, “And to shun evil, that’s understanding.” Silence passed between them as they were lost in the gaze of each other.

Making Stella feel weak, why does he has to ask her again when he had heard what she said before, and besides he has to ask her repeatedly, in other to be sure of what she said. "Of course I did, I can see that you didn't trust me? well, I guess that you would have to do so, you will have to trust me, I have handled more beings that are more dangerous than Mikel's condition l..." She was still narrating but Wisdom interrupted in other to give her a clearance about what she was going for because it is obvious that she may not know the danger it would take. Just to make sure that she knows what she's going for, Wisdom has to let her know that Mikel kicks ass in case things went wrong.

“You can have understanding, yes. But the ability to apply it rightly—that’s the real wisdom. The kind that doesn’t lead to regret.” Jake nodded slowly, the words sinking deep. “So you’re saying… wisdom isn’t just knowing what to do. It’s knowing when and how to do it.” Clark raised his glass. “Exactly.” Jake swirled his drink slowly, eyes distant but clear. “Whatever it may be, man,” he said softly. “Humans… we’re not perfect beings.” “We were made to take risks. That’s how life works. That’s how destiny unfolds.” “And sometimes… It’s those very risks that make us imperfect.”

The mist swirled around my feet. "My truth," I said, and my voice came out rougher than I intended. "I am insecure. I have always been insecure. I fear that if I do not solve this issue about the virus, I will be seen as useless. My family has always measured my worth by my intelligence, by my achievements, by what I can produce. If I fail at this, I will have nothing. I do not want to lower the expectations they have for me. I do not want to be a failure."

Choices were limited but this is not the place where he will die. There are two types of wise men. The first wise man believes to himself that he will overcome any possible danger life will give to him. But another wise man is not believing to himself but he believes more into his surroundings than to himself. Mike is the latter part, no... He is not within the two. He reacts solely to his instincts and his mind, he relies on himself and to his surrounding but doesn't fully trust the things around him just by feeling nor seeing it alone. "Wisest man must not only believe to himself but also be fully prepared for any possible outcomes."

“I want to get Faye's custody because I know once you found about this... you could take her away from me. And you know about my opinion of your upbringing of Faye. No matter how you tried to show it... no matter how competent and self-confident you act...” He shook his head and then softly said. “I can't be wrong. You're nothing but a beautiful woman with money and a cunning mind. But truthfully you're insecure and you strive to surpass your mother in all aspect. You're jealous of her just as thirsty you're for Sarah's affection. Sandra, a true self-confident and competent person is incapable of jealousy in everything. Jealousy is invariably a symptom of neurotic insecurity.”

“I hate that part⁠ o‍f me still cares. Like I’ve done all this work, and on⁠e stu⁠pid piece of pa​per c‌an s‌till get under my skin.” She opened one e⁠ye. “That’s not weakn⁠ess. That​’s hi​sto​ry.‌” I watched t‌he water swirl around my ankles.‍ “What if it doesn‍’t stop?” “Then we ignore it harder,” she said​. “Y​ou don’t negotiate‍ with insecurity. Y⁠ou‌rs o​r anyone else’s.”‍ I smiled‌ faintly despite myself.

She did not think so. "You don't get it." Paige shook her head, pretending to make herself seem less shallow. "The wisest often appears ordinary. I may seem dumb, but I’m actually wise. Acting dumb makes people drop their guard, you see. In the circumstances where I married Chris, everyone was skeptical of me. By acting a little dumb, people lowered their guard, and gradually, I established myself at the Jewells." Paige believed that was how it worked — that the wisest often appeared ordinary.

But life has never been that kind, and truth is often no kinder than life itself. Do not fear the uncertainty. It is not a weakness to walk without seeing every step before you. Wisdom is not found only in knowledge, but in the patience to carry what you do not yet understand. There will be things hidden from you. There may be things I could not protect you from, only prepare you to face. If this letter has reached you, then it means I trusted you to continue where I could not. And that trust is not small. The truth is powerful, Aria, but only when guided by wisdom. Otherwise it becomes a blade without a hand to hold it.
