00:00Whenever you will give a lot of importance to what others give you, you will be afraid

00:08and then you will want to play safe.

00:10Make a list of all that others give you, company, attachment, reputation, and these are the

00:18things that are at the core of your fear.

00:21Wherever there is the other, wherever there is dependence on the other, there is fear

00:30and hence a search for safety.

00:33I'm dependent upon the industry for my self-worth.

00:37Let them come and give me a job that makes me feel safe, right?

00:41And not one job offer.

00:42I want to have two.

00:43One in hand, one in pocket.

00:44Now you're dependent, severely dependent.

00:45How am I looking?

00:46I depend on somebody else to approve my looks.

00:54You are playing safe.
