When I work with a clients values, security is something that comes up on a frequent basis. Often it will equate to financial security, but also job security, family security and just a general sense of overall security in life.
I never tell clients their values are wrong, but I must confess I don’t believe security is really a value.
Why?
Because it doesn’t exist!
Multi-millionaires have gone bankrupt, long-term loyal workers with Fortune 100 companies have seen their jobs vanish over night, successful entrepreneurs have lost all their business in the blink of an eye often through no fault of their own and super fit athletes in their prime have dropped dead from heart attacks.
Your life can be taken away from you at a moments notice. Brian Tracy once told me, 10,000 people die world wide reading blog posts about security every week! And if they don’t, they certainly should.
Security is trickier to grab hold of than a live salmon that’s coated itself in warm butter. In fact, security doesn’t even exist in nature and we all live in nature.
So take the pressure off yourself and let it go.
