Transcript

00:00Whenever you will give a lot of importance to what others give you, you will be afraid and then you will want to play safe.

00:10Make a list of all that others give you. Company, attachment, reputation and these are the things that are at the core of your fear.

00:21Wherever there is the other, wherever there is dependence on the other, there is fear and hence a search for safety.

00:33I am dependent upon the industry for my self work. Let them come and give me a job. That makes me feel safe, right?

00:41And not one job offer. I want to have two. One in hand, one in pocket. Now you are dependent, severely dependent.

00:48How am I looking? I depend on somebody else to approve my looks. You are playing safe.
