Facing one's fears and insecurities is the primary path to building strength and gaining personal growth.

“I think that I just have to understand that my fears are only going to continue to show me what I'm capable of. The more that I face my fears, the more that I feel I'm gaining strength, I'm gaining wisdom, and I just want to keep doing that.”

Consistency in one's personal life and actions is the foundation for overcoming feelings of insecurity.

“consistency is key and the more consistent you are with your partner, the more trust you're going to build with them.”

To overcome insecurity, one must be willing to take action even while feeling inadequate.

“that idea that even if you don't feel good enough you can still take action I think was the biggest thing that was the hardest for me because I didn't want to get bullied”
