Build & practice Self-reliance!!!!

To do anything in life we need an important skill called Self-reliance — aka mental strength. When a sportsman trips and falls down getting hurt during a race, he pushes himself hard and continues the race though he knows that he cannot win. That ability or skill is called Self-reliance.

Trusting that we can finish something successfully is confidence. The strength or skill that helps us complete it is self-reliance. When we start work there may numerous disruptions. Only our self-reliance helps us to overcome all the obstacles and win at the end.

How to stay Self-reliant :

· When you think that you are doing the righteous thing, ignore the thought about what others will think/comment

· Don’t overthink and confuse about circumstances that you can’t control. Let it be!

· You must stand for your actions. So, take ownership of them. Only when you have the maturity to face things, you may move to the next steps

· When people treat you differently, let them! Keep working towards your aim. Those who achieved big never bothered about being treated differently.

· Never rely on others for help. Whatever be it self-reliant people do it by themselves. Self-help is always the best choice.

· Sometimes whatever you do may hurt/mock others. Or maybe you may have some slight downfalls or fallbacks. Don’t worry just keep going towards your aim. Victory is our aim.

· None can guarantee that only good things shall happen throughout. When good things happen learn to smile, when bad things happen learn to face them. Believe that you can handle it. Don’t be afraid. Whatever happens, be happy. Keep singing, dancing, don’t just fit in a corner.
