Six Symptoms of Insecurity
1. Comparison - We begin to compare ourselves to others and score ourselves against their achievements.
2. Compensation - We feel like victims and must now compensate for our losses of inferiority.
3. Competition - We drift into self-centered patterns, consumed by outdoing others to receive attention and rewards.
4. Compulsion - You are driven to perform compulsively to gain others' approval, you are a people-pleaser.
5. Condemnation - The judgmental attitude of yourself or others, resulitng in self-pity or self-conceiet.
6. Control - In order to validate your own worth, you feel as though you must take charge, protect your own interests and monopolize situations.
4 Keys to Personal Security
1. Key One - IDENTITY - you must tie your self-worth to your identity in Christ, not people or performance
2. Key Two - BROKENNESS - you must allow God to break you of self-sufficiency and self-promotion
3. Key Three - PURPOSE - you must discover and practice your God-given purpose in life, not someone else's
4. Key Four - GIVING AND RECEIVING "THE BLESSING" - you must learn to let others love and bless you, and to do the same for them
