If possible, everyone hopes life can be a bit easier.

Ideally, when young, one can depend on parents, not worrying about housing and cars, and later rely on a partner to share some of the burdens. Eventually, one can rely on children for a good life.

It seems like a good life, but always depending on others and seeking comfort means no one would want to be relied upon.

Throughout our lives, we shouldn’t always rely on others. Not only because others may not be reliable, but also because everyone is an independent individual, experiencing emotions and situations that only they understand.

On the journey of life, rather than always wanting to depend on others, we ultimately have to learn to rely on ourselves.

Rely on Yourself to Earn a Good Living

Money is undeniably important for everyone.

Even if we are born into a good family, our parents cannot take care of us forever. There will always be a long period in life when we need to solve our own problems and make a living. Even after marriage, our partner may not be able to bear all the expenses alone, and we may not know if they will leave one day.

When it comes to children, we shouldn’t be a burden to them. Instead, we should provide them with a broader sky.

Therefore, rather than always reaching out to others, it’s best to have our own skills and abilities. This way, we can support ourselves regardless of who leaves us and provide a good life for ourselves. Earning our own money and having it in our pockets will give us the confidence to lead a better life, earn respect in marriage, take care of our loved ones, and face any challenges without fear.

Rely on Yourself to Make Decisions

In life, there are many moments of confusion and uncertainty, and we often wish someone could tell us what to choose.

We hope there’s always someone to guide us and offer the best support, but even if they do, it may not be what we want.

Throughout our lives, while maintaining financial independence, we also need to be independent in our thoughts. We can listen to others’ advice, but ultimately, we have to make our own choices. After all, we have to bear the consequences and take responsibility for our own lives.

We should always have our own ideas so that we don’t just go with the flow and end up regretting our decisions, but instead gradually shape our lives the way we want.

Rely on Yourself to Manage Emotions

As we grow older, we realize that life is not easy, and things don’t always go as planned.

In matters of emotions, work, relationships, and other situations, we often feel dissatisfied and want to talk about it.

Occasionally, it’s okay to confide in others, but most of the time, it’s best to digest our feelings and handle negative emotions on our own. Because no one really cares so much about how we’re doing, and no one wants to hear complaints all the time. As adults, we should learn to release our emotions and revive ourselves.

When we can do this, keeping quiet about the negatives and learning from them, we will grow and become better, and others will like us more and want to be close to us.

In life, relying on ourselves is the most reliable path. Instead of seeking protection from others, we should strive to become better and treat those around us well.

We should repay our parents instead of always demanding from them. We should work together with our partners instead of complaining about them. We should provide a better environment for our children instead of placing all our hopes on them.

In life, we may meet many people, but only a few are truly important. Sometimes, there is no one else in our world but ourselves.

Only when we live our lives well can we truly experience the best of life.
