REALITY FACING SECURITY

The phrase “secure enough to face reality” refers to the ability to know within yourself that you are okay as a person and that you are capable of handling the challenges of life. Are you that secure? If you have these two personal and internal resources, then you will be able to face reality without falling apart or getting into a highly reactive state. That’s what happens when a person does not have sufficient ego-strength to face reality. With this inner security, then the external challenges will not question you as a person (your worth or dignity) or overwhelm your ability to cope with life.
