The dictionary defines insecurity as lack of self confidence and doubtful. Some of the causes that create insecurity are fear of rejection and a sense of being unaccepted.

As Deepak Chopra says:

Relinquish your rigid attachment to a specific result and live in the wisdom of uncertainty. Attachment is based on fear and insecurity. While detachment is based on the unquestioning belief in the power of your true Self. Enjoy every moment , even if you don't know the outcome.
