Support: Part Three

Watch my video here.

I'm sorry for the delay. It's been a busy weekend. I've completed the videos for this series, now I'll complete the blog for this series.

One must be able to rely on their own innate ability to care for their own well-being. Being strong of mind and body helps you to be strong financially and otherwise. It helps you take care of yourself and be independent. Having friends and family around to care for you is wonderful and sometimes a luxury. But the confidence one gains when they are aware they can take care of themselves is very empowering. I think, at times, we underestimate how important we are to ourselves. I know I discredit myself a lot more than I should. I have skills, love, confidence, happiness and knowledge I can share with the world.

However, sometimes I'm not always able to see those good parts in me. I think that we all struggle with that at times. All we need to do is realize our worth. Realize that we have everything we need inside ourselves. Encouragement is necessary at times, yes, but if we are unable to dig deep and find the strength and courage we need, we can accomplish so many great things.

Relying on myself has been a struggle, but something I have yearned for since I was young. Wanting to get my own drinks as a kid, to driving myself to wherever I needed to go as a teenager, to wanting to move out of my mom's house. I've always been antsy, unable to patiently wait for others. It's not them I get frustrated with. I believe it's part of a projection I send out because I don't want to be late, I don't want to be the hold up for a group of people. So, I've done what I can to better myself and become a continual improvement from before. It isn't always easy, but I try and that's all you can do. Try. You'll find your own way, your own strength, your own self-reliance.

At the end of the day, nobody can save you but yourself.
