“What I must do, is all that concerns me, not what the people think.” 
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

How can Self reliance spark joy in your life?  Let’s talk about it!

Time is our greatest resource

Relying upon ourselves is a very liberating lifestyle. We are free to do more things, and free to do them when we want to! Self reliance creates a sense of self worth and accomplishment that lead to a fulfilling life!

Growing Tree with Wooden Stake

Sometimes we cant rely on ourselves and we need help, like a sapling that must be tied to a post so it doesn’t fall over. But once we have grown, we need to remove that post, or else it is just in the way of our growth.

Self Reliant Mindset for Money

The Self Reliance Block is the 9th week on our Live Well Live Strong Quilt Sew Along!  Remember you can join in on the sew along anytime or make the Live Well Live Strong Quilt at your own pace.

We need to trust ourselves, We need to believe in ourselves! We are all capable of so much, but we sometimes forget it! We need to remember who we are and what we can do, and then get out there and do it!

“I listen with attention to the judgement of all men; but so far as I can remember, I have followed none but my own. ”  
-Michel de Montaigne

Nobody can do the things that YOU can do! We each need to be able to stand on our own from time to time. Help here and there is a good thing, but we should try not to be too dependent on anybody. If we become reliant on others then we may forget how to stand on our own entirely!

Avoid Traps from Self Reliance

“As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.”
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Positive Self Reliance Challenges could include:

  1. Create a budget
  2. Live within your means
  3. Start a rainy day fund
  4. Search for a better employment opportunity, or ask for a raise at you current job
  5. Start using a daily planner, either in a notebook or on your phone

Or customize your own personal challenge.  Let’s not overwhelm ourselves.  Take tiny steps towards a good thing and reward yourself with a quiet moment closing your eyes to feel good about yourself including your body & mind.

Share a photo of your completed Self Reliance Quilt Block on Facebook or Instagram https://www.instagram.com/stitchesquilting/ and use the hashtag #livewelllivestrongquilt.  If you feel comfortable share a photo that represents a positive step in a Movement Challenge.  Let’s inspire each other!
