Being an independent person and relying on yourself is so important to your success in life. The ability to figure things out on your own and having control of your life will always benefit you.

Learn to fight for yourself, solve your own problems and take care of yourself – but don’t let that stop you from asking for help or admitting you need someone when you can’t do it on your own.

The key is to try before initially asking for help. Needing help and being lazy are two completely different things. Being lazy is asking for the answer before you give yourself a chance to find it. Once you’ve tried and can’t figure it out, ask for help and absorb the information you’re being taught.

If you want something done right, you need to do it yourself. When you depend on people, you leave yourself with the possibility to be let down. You have the power to make things how you want them to be. You don’t need to rely on others because you are strong enough yourself.

Be independent in a way that you don’t need someone, but you allow yourself to want someone. You should never feel as though you lose part of yourself if you lose another person. People don’t make you whole, they add to your already whole self.

Be independent, but don’t let that stop you from depending on someone.

Having faith in your own abilities will bring out a strength you never knew you had. It will make you more confident and motivate you to do more and be more.
