  Reconnecting with Your Inner Child .... Whenever you think back to your childhood, beautiful memories come alive, and you realise how wonderful it was to be a child. There was a time when nothing mattered except the joy of the moment. I still remember building little houses out of sand on the beach, either with my parents, friends or sometimes all by myself. The happiness of creating something with my own hands was beyond words. I would proudly call my parents to show them my tiny masterpiece, and they would smile wholeheartedly, appreciating every effort without judging the outcome. Little did I know then that building a real house is far more than bricks and walls. It requires love, responsibility, financial stability, commitment and togetherness. Without these essential ingredients, a house remains just a structure. A true home is built through years of effort, sacrifice and unconditional love.

As long as you exist on this Earth, you are secure in many ways, yet you continue searching for security all the time. You seek security for air, water, food and shelter. To have all these, you need security from your environment, your country, your community, your family, and ultimately from your own body, mind and soul. When we talk about security as a profession, we think of the people who protect our country, our buildings, our property and, at times, individuals. But even this profession demands courage, discipline and the willingness to take action. Security is important at every stage of life, security from parents, family, education, community and country. The more secure we feel, the more confidently we grow. Though we may be powerful, intelligent and mentally strong, our hearts still long for security. Many of the unfortunate inciden...
