Be Self-Reliant

Even without applause

By Rohitha LankaPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

Learning to Rely on Yourself

Cultivate self-reliance,

Even without push from others.

In your childhood, you rely on your parents, in other words you "grow up."

At some point in your life, it's called "being stuck."

Real adulthood is being responsible for yourself,

And that self-sufficiency is what helps you feel proud of what you've done.

We can be rich in wealth, but you should have the answer on how to chase it.

Lacking a home or a vehicle? Learn how to create them.

When you are feeling tired or discouraged, figure out how to not take that or yourself too seriously.

In times of despair, if you have to mourn, do so, then please you yourself.

Still others can do nothing more than offer you the introductory tools

They are your children, for whom you must provide a roof and shade.

When you're in crisis, don't curse the world for not standing behind you.

never feel sore at the absent. When a crisis arises.

And if you have strength, the stuff you face can become “inspiration”!

You have the courage and it is the crises that come your way that can be turned into "opportunities."

Holding on to pride could mislead you,

On the other hand, if you depend too much on anybody else, you can become lost in the process.

Persevere...

Embrace self-reliance... Everything belongs to you.

Be resilient...

Embrace self-sufficiency.

Not that you’d actually know that from any public acknowledgment,

You can still take pride in that.

"What is genuine" is someone who ''does not lean on other people''
