D.N.A?

Ive been thinking about insecurities, I was chatting with a friend a few moments ago, thinking about insecurities, and how we need to shed them in order to become who we really are. But then I started thinking about my own insecurities, and though I do believe I must overcome them to become who I can be, my insecurities seem to be part of who I am, my driving force. Would I be me without them. One of my reason for working with young people is that I struggled when I was young, which in turn kicked off some of my insecurities.

So, can we we overcome our insecurities? In doing so do we deny who we are?

Let me know what you think.
