Whatever thing you want to achieve in life cannot be achieved without you standing on your own. You heard it right, yes you would need people around you as you go on. I have yet to come across a successful person who is a loner.

Why strive to stand on your own?

As parent, the best gift you can give to your children is the gift of freedom. Allow them to make decisions on their own and providing guidance as they learn to stand on their own. When you teach your children how to catch fish, they will surely not be dependant on you for the fish. One of big mistake I see in our society is that children are not taught how to catch fish at the right age. Parents are going to continue to spoon feed their children and not letting them learn the realities of life. 

Standing on your own means freedom to do whatever you want to do. Human are born to be free to decide what kind of life we want to lead. Break the chains of dependency and enjoy the freedom of standing on your own. Enjoy the total freedom to make choices that build on your character on a daily basis. All of us should learn to stand on our own in whatever, we do in life. Be it financially or socially. 

Learning from our past

Learning itself is a continuous process. It is knowledge that we accumulate over time that helps us grow. To be able to stand on our own, we must learn and appreciate past experiences. It had been said that experience is the best teacher, very true. What you have learned through your own experience will stick to your mind much more than what is taught by someone else. I personally have taught my self how to use most computer applications that I know of. I have learnt through experience that most computer user applications almost the same, usually the difference is minimal. Notice that even when you are confronted with a situation that you have come across before decision making is usually based on past experiences.

The people who have succeed in life have failed before and people who are not successful are failures. We all have come across challenging situations. Some have remained stagnant because they have accepted defeat. I have not accepted defeat and will continue to soldier on. Personal growth does not come easy. The daily experiences we encounter add to our growth. We are an expression of our exposure.

Conclusion

To be able to stand on your own is one of the greatest gifts you can ever receive in life. We always ensure that we are striving to stand on our own. I know that life has a lot of challenges and many of these are a stepping stone to greater growth. We choose to accept what we cannot change and instead change our inner selves, learning whatever there is to be learned. This is the only way we can grow and learn to stand on our own.
