ABOUT SELF RELIANCE 3

 Self reliance
After reading the greatest essay of all time on self-reliance by Ralph Waldo
Emerson, I think that self-reliance is more about " believing in yourself ".
Most of us believe we have nothing valuable to share and that money is the
only seldom thing that can buy what our heart wants. We often doubt our
abilities, now that is something I think keeps us from reaching the heights we
can. I think sometimes we don't need to do more things, but reduce some of
the things/habits we already perform, most of the people think that to live a
good life they need to rush their lives and do more things instead, what I think
is, it is not doing stupid things and not doing bad habits. to be self-reliant the
first step I would take would be; nothing else but not being afraid to speak
up and break the silence, being brave enough to speak what I believe to be
true. Even if we discover we are wrong, we can benefit by making an effort to
improve ourselves.

AN ESSAY ON SELF RELIANCE WRITTEN BY ME 4

many times while in class the teacher asks us about something and we wait
for someone else to confirm the answer we have in our mind, and after
the answer is out and is correct, we think to ourselves I knew that
answer, if only I had taken courage to answer it back then ma'am would
have thought of me as an active student in the class. we all have
ideas/thoughts playing in our heads throughout the day that has the
potential to get us to the next level. It is said that" saying that is easy
but doing so is hard, YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW" the second step
towards self-reliance would be; take appropriate action and get to
work. Which positively affects us in all walks of life.

we are never truly aligned with ourselves. in our extremely connected world,
reading news, watching TV, always trying to fit in the society, keeping up
with the entire world. never really respecting our unique thought processes.
using distractions to distract ourselves from distractions, that might sound
funny but is true as well. to not feel ALONE we have given up our
individuality and our abilities to be our true selves. we are all capable of
doing and becoming so much more if we didn't worry about what people
think about us. here I believe to be self-reliant the third prominent step
would be; to not worry about what others might think of us for what
we are and what we want to achieve in life. if we all take responsibility
for our lives and set examples for others what possibly can set us back and
stop us. we/I will become a strong individual, capable, self-reliant,
respectable, and attractive being.
