Self reliance doesn't mean you don't need anybody. Self reliant people know that life is ending one minute at a time, they're running out of tomorrows and it's on them to make shit happen for themselves because no body cares. You're friends, family and colleagues are all too busy being the hero in their own story. 

Every man should understand what it means to be self reliant.

Its the path to freedom because you'll make shit happen, alone if you have to. You don't wait for permission or validation and you don't have time for fence sitters or people who don't know what they want.

Self reliant people know what they want and they take a leap of faith and when they do, opportunities start presenting themselves, doors start opening and the right people start taking notice. 

I did it, so can you.
