The Importance Of Self Reliance

By Amparo Bird


Self reliance refers to the art of independence where one does not have to depend on others for help. This is where the individual takes on challenges and opportunities in his life head on and sees the challenges as a stepping stone to a bright future, as he accepts these challenges and learns from his previous mistakes while developing new values.

This is an individual who never gets dispirited and gets all that he wants by himself. An independent individual is always ready to take the initiative and has full confidence in himself of finding ways out of the challenges and difficulties that comes his way.

People who are used to being helped all the time may never get the chance to get on their feet and do something constructive for themselves. Individuals should be advised to be creative and meet their demands and needs in life with as little help from others as possible.

An independent man has an objective and goal in his life and to get there he knows he has to persevere and be patient and not ask for favors from others because he is has confidence in himself and it endears others to him. By the end of the day, the man will have learnt valuable lessons and gathered enough experience to help him through another day.

All the great men including famous scientists and businessmen and even inventors were all independent individuals who through perseverance and determination achieved their dreams and goals. These individuals never bragged about their successes and always went out of their way to help others. These individuals always never looked down upon anybody in their lives as these people at times also offered their help.

He should always be ready to help others who seek his help just as he should not refuse to accept help when it is offered. A self reliance means that people should have confidence in their abilities to achieve something and not expect to be helped every time.
