Being Self-Reliant
Being Self-Reliant was a mystery to me for many years. For many people I know, this means “Don’t ask for help.” I’ve been the recipient of help, sometimes anonymous and sometimes from churches or government programs.
From the dephts of financial turmoil it can be difficult to see self-reliance clearly.
Today I share some quotes from Dennis Waitley, author of The Seeds of Greatness Treasury
To be self-reliant adults, we need to set some guidelines:
Be different, if it means higher personal standards
Be different, if it means being more gracious and considerate to others.
The greates risk in life is to wait for and depend on others for your own security.
The greatest security is to plan and act, and take the risk that will ultimately ensure your personal freedom and independence.
These last two serve as my anchor, because they ring true to my heart, and they lead me away from the apparent security of relying on others.
