RELATIONALLY SECURE

Here’s another aspect of inside—out security, namely, social or relationship security which arises when you live compassionately and collaboratively in community with others. The simple awareness that there are people who care about you, who you can call upon for assistance, who will be there for you to pull you up when you stumble—that is a tremendous resource for feeling secure. As social beings with a brain that is essentially social, it is essential for mental and emotional well-being that we develop this sense of being relationally secure.
