So one thing I've been struggling with my
entire life is trusting myself and as much as I wanted to believe that I am oh so independent. I constantly found myself relying on other people and what they thought. How many people end up losing themselves
through this. Do we become so reliant on other people? why do we care so much about what other people think or say about us? why does our own self-worth depend on the number of likes that we have on our social media posts? We always seem to turn to others for everything our happiness, approval, love, affection. We expect other people to solve our problems, we ask gurus for advice on how to be rich? how to be happy? When we start looking at ourselves we never consider that we might not need those things. Don't take being part of society too far because you might just end up using yourself to become that robot. You don't need that $5,000 money-making course by that guru on Facebook.
You don't need the latest fitness
workout by that guy on YouTube. You don't need that diet sold by the lady with that abs to get the results that you want. So the challenge of life to you is to start relying on yourself more and not in a selfish way of course but learn to trust yourself more intellectually, physically as well as emotionally. You really don't need others to be happy or successful in life. You have to go through life alone. The point is that we need to start trusting our gut again and trust that all the answers lie within us the great Ralph Waldo Emerson said.... Trust thy self every heart vibrates to that iron stream.
Do you feel that your friends always need to be there for you? Do you find it difficult to be alone? Do you feel hurt if somebody doesn't invite you somewhere? Do you always ask other people for advice or opinion on the projects that you do?
Find yourself stuck at work because you
relied so much on other people that you can't move forward expecting your partner to make you happy. Do you get upset when people critique your work? What do all these questions have in
common that all set you up for disappointment. We tend to think so much that we never end up doing. Thinking of overthinking has been the biggest downfall in life. The more you think the less you do. Stop looking at other people to get you out of your difficult situations. By learning more about two emotions and accepting them you can start being more self-reliant in many different ways or you say instead of finding a friend or texting a friend why not write down how you feel? Why are you feeling it and process it on your own? That way you both learn how to be self-reliant as well as getting to the root cause. Take responsibility for your life that you have everything within you to make and create your own success. Nobody didn't magically pop out of their mother's womb an expert. They trusted themselves enough to take responsibility for themselves and started doing instead of relying on others to do it for them. Ralph says..... if we live truly we shall see truly.
Put yourself first n others will automatically consider your importance
