MY TOPIC THIS WEEK: Tips to Increasing Your Self-Reliance

Being self-reliant is a valuable skill that nurtures a successful life. Most high achievers understand that they need to be independent and self-sufficient. Unfortunately, friends and family won't always be there to help or be supportive, making self-reliance a crucial element of surviving and succeeding.

I. IDEAS FROM ME

Make Your Own Choices

Even if you make a mistake, accept responsibility for your choices and actions. Don't let others make decisions for you. Being self-reliant is about making your own decisions and being responsible for them, regardless of the consequences. This helps you learn from your mistakes while developing or perfecting your skills and knowledge.

Highlight Your Responsibilities

It’s a fact of life that adults have personal responsibilities. For example, most adults must pay bills, keep their house clean, and hold down a job. Highlighting your responsibilities, being aware of them, and developing a plan to meet your obligations is a significant step to ensure you take care of your individual needs.

Be Informed and Mindful

Be aware of your surroundings and essential information. Learn how to manage your money responsibly, maintain your physical and mental health, be aware of local news and laws to ensure you know how to handle various situations.

Understand Your Purpose and Path

What is your purpose in life? What goals do you hope to achieve? What do you want to gain from your life? If you were to die today, would you be happy with your accomplishments and everything you have done in life? The more you understand where you want to go in life, the more confidence and self-esteem you will gain, ensuring your ability to be successful on your own.

Develop Beneficial Skills and Habits

When you know what you want to accomplish, you can easily assess what knowledge, skills, and habits you have and what you need to develop or enhance. In addition, having a well-rounded education can be beneficial in times of crisis. Finally, the broader your knowledge is, the safer you’ll be and the more confidence you will gain.

Being self-reliant is about gaining knowledge, skills, resources, and experience and learning and practising new skills to ensure your success when it comes to odd problems. Everyone needs help from time to time. Ask for help if you need it; you will likely learn new skills to help you be more independent in the future.

II. QUOTES FROM OTHERS

“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide

to be.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson, who went by his middle name Waldo, was an American essayist, lecturer, philosopher, abolitionist and poet who led the transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century. Emerson wrote most of his important essays as lectures first and then revised them for print.

“Self-reliance is the only road to true freedom, and being one’s own person is its ultimate reward.”

Patricia Sampson, chief executive officer and president of The Sampson Group, Inc., a management development and strategic planning consulting business. She also is chairperson of World Alive Ministries.
