”If it is to be, it is up to me.”

Self-reliance is one of the most useful things that we can develop. With a powerful and healthy level of self-reliance we do not need to look to others to sort, fix, mend or organise our lives for us. We are each responsible for the life we have and we alone have created. True self-reliance leaves us glowing with confidence and makes one hugely attractive to others.
.
Self-reliance is like a muscle. We can use it or lose it. When we start to be self-reliant on a regular basis, we grow bigger, stronger and able to cope with what ever life demands are put upon us. It separates high achievers from their followers, imitators and critics.
.
People who are self-reliant have learnt to look within themselves for answers and solutions. By doing so they have developed a healthy, happy relationship with themselves.
.
Those who are completely self-reliant have real power. Chasing money, glamour or sex, wanting control over others are simply the evidence of the need to look powerful. A person can be in a position of power and influence without any personal power and internal ease.
.
Trying to win people over, seeking approval and acceptance, trying to impress and craving praise all create weakness and destroy ones real power because it make one dependent on other people’s whims. We end up being a puppet, controlled by other’s mood and choices.
.
Real power comes from self reliance and those with a strong internal power stand out from others. It gives them freedom to speak their minds and live as they please.
.
Remember when you are content to be simply yourself and do not compare or compete, everyone will respect you. Focus on finding your own personal power by self reliance today.
