For most people, security is material possessions - a house, a car, etc. but try thinking of security this way and this was a profound shift for me when I finally got it...

Security is knowing that if all of your possessions were taken away, all your money was taken away, all your credit cards were taken away, and you were driven out to a desolate place in which you were unfamiliar and left with nothing but the clothes on your back - that you would find a way to get back everything you had and more because of the complete belief and faith in yourself to accomplish whatever it is that you set out to do.

How's that for security?!
This is so incredibly true that its fairly amazing, if you KNOW that you can get all your material possessions back because your BETTER than before this is true security. You know that nothing can take back the skills and knowledge you possess now and that it will always be available for you. So if something happens you can rebuild from scratch, this realization is quite powerfull...
