Self-Reliance = Freedom
Self-reliance is all about freedom from the control or influence of outside parties.
It’s a simple concept that encourages each of us to take responsibility for our own needs – physical, emotional, spiritual, social, and economic.
To put it more directly, it’s an understanding that nobody owes you anything!

In our highly competitive world, your ability to consistently demonstrate self-reliance and initiative is a true competitive advantage as the vast majority of people lean towards procrastination and hesitation as their operative performance state.
Your life doesn’t just “happen.” Whether you know it, like it, or simply choose to dismiss this reality, your life is carefully designed by you.
The choices, after all are yours. You choose happiness. you choose sadness. you choose decisiveness. You choose ambivalence. You choose success. You choose failure. You choose courage. You choose fear.
You also choose to demonstrate self-reliance, to take initiative and take control of your future, or you choose to suck your thumb and wait for someone to tell you what to do.
Just remember that every moment, every situation, provides a new choice.
At any moment of your life, you can choose to take initiative or to offer up an excuse to procrastinate.
And in doing so, it gives you a perfect opportunity to do things differently to produce more positive results.
Take the 100 Day Challenge and you’ll learn the true secret to taking initiative and self-reliant behavior!

Wow, that was so powerful. I have already stated that I take 110% responsibility for where I am right now in my life. If it is to be, It is up to me. I truly believe that.

Something to think about: At any given time, we’ve got a choice to do something different.

I do agree we are the cause of our life results and that every moment our choices do differ but we have to carefully make that, Bravo on an excellent video

Being self relient is good, it makes somebody hold respect before others and one can never be minimised. Self relient makes one hold his or her secret techiniques of running the business and this makes that person favorably compete with others. Thus having a competitive advantage.

?You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
You’re on your own.
And you know what you know.
You are the guy who’ll decide where to go.?
