Never Depend on anyone but YOURSELF

The only person you can depend on is yourself. Humans believed we are the smartest species on earth, with deficiency, though. But one of the dumbest things that we actually do in our lives is depend on other people. We don't realize we can only depend on, or trust in, ourselves.

People are afraid to look at the mirror in life, they are afraid to accept the truth about themselves and about what is going on; thus, they take the easy way out, just like they do with everything else, and depend on others for happiness, opportunities and a better life.
They failed to know that happiness is their sole responsibility.

Actually, dependency is not a weakness. It’s actually healthy, as long as you can keep it balanced with independence. We are built to survive on our own, yet simultaneously could not stay sane if isolated indefinitely.

You can rely on friends and family since they always have your back and be there to support you. They may let you down atleast once in the relationship due to human nature - born to make mistake and poor decision from time to time. You have to keep in mind that they have their life to live. Another circumstances may warrant your distance, marriage for instance, after marriage partner become the first love then your place is taken. Learn how to rely on yourself.

Some Reasons you should rely on no one but yourself

You have more potential than anyone you know.
The real world might appear like a big competition, but there’s only one person you need to defeat. Yourself.
Every day, a bit better. Every year, a bit further.
It’s you and the mirror, nothing more.

People will care about your world but only to a certain point.
We all lead busy lives. Friends, family and coworkers will listen to your problems, but they won’t solve them. They can’t.
Plus, they have their own problems to deal with.

You have everything you need to be successful.
Drive, desire, passion, grit . You have all the tools right now to leave your mark.
Any support from the outside will help but how far you go? Up to you.

You will never leave yourself.
Friends, lovers, and opportunities often come and go. But you're stuck with yourself for the rest of your life. If you play your cards right, you've got the ultimate tag team and a person who will never pick up and walk out of your life.

You wont lie to yourself for too long, atleast.

Take control of your own destiny and realize earlier that you are the one to get yourself where you want to go -- not anyone else. There is no golden road to follow, and there are no handouts -- so stop depending on them.

Stop depending on others but yourself.

Thanks for your time. You are great.
