Four Habits That Lead to Emotional Security
Can you become more emotionally secure by doing certain things differently?
● Be willing to apologize.
Do you know that refusing to apologize may actually increase your ego (自负)?
● Be willing to accept failure.
Emotionally secure people can recognize and accept failure. This may be why two top schools in England teach failure as part of their curriculum.
● Learn to manage self-criticism.
Self-criticism is a usual stumbling block (绊脚石). It may be the most common psychological hang-up (障碍) in existence.

Taking a more objective viewpoint on your own life gives you access to the big picture. Emotionally immature people tend to lack thinking and make poor decisions, which will only create more problems to feel insecure about. One solution is to step back and consider the big picture before making decisions.
