We when we speak of self-reliance,we are pointing here of being true to our self, having the confidence and trusting of the endowed capacity and ability.
Expressing the inner self, believing in the self, no matter what would others reaction be. To go beyond despite all the criticisms, hardships, hindrances and struggles. It teaches us to live life to the fullest and do our tasks with our best shot.
So what we must do, is only what concerns us and not what people expect and think us. It is being who you are and what you are. It is expressing of your reality for it would surely reflect the real you.
Learn to believe in yourself and in your capacity, and don,t be ashamed to show the incomparable talent and gift that is inside you. Do not be afraid to be criticized and corrected,but rise and try again.
Because Ir's only our consistency that scares us from self-trust. It is only our consistency that makes us ashamed to stand and showcase our talents. It is because, we are afraid of our past actions and deeds to be seen again by others.
But then, it's time to move on, we should not be captive of our own consistency.
And so express your actions and emotions the way you are. For it would surely give you a satisfying and a fulfilling happiness in life; that others can't give you.
