This is really and truly at the center and heart of every single thing I do.
Why?
Because people who are emotionally self sufficient make the most out of life, and live the lives they want to live. They:
Are healthy physically, emotionally, and spiritually,
Know their own value and accept nothing less,
Know how to take care of themselves,
Are mentally flexible,
Do what they need to in order to take care of themselves,
Know when to ask for help,
Know what their own needs are, and how to meet those needs,
Are always willing to learn and grow,
Have strong relationships because they see each person involved as a whole and complete individual before coming into relationship (romantic and/or platonic),
Have excellent self-esteem and self-confidence,
Trust themselves,
Can stand on their own two feet and handle whatever life throws at them, and
Are engaging, interesting, and largely unstoppable.
Think of the people you most admire, who are doing what you want to be doing, who are living the life you are desperate for. Are they needy, clingy, complaining, with low self-confidence? Or do they walk with purpose, heads held high, secure in the knowledge that they both can identify and meet their needs?
Most likely the later.
More than anything else, I want for you to live the life you were born to live.
You, my dear one, are on this earth for a reason.
A reason you cannot fully access and execute if you are not emotionally self-sufficient. In other words, if you are needing someone else to give you validation, if you don’t know what your own needs are, much less how to get them met, if you feel as though you cannot ask for help because you don’t deserve it, or because you don’t want to be a bother, if you are threatened by ideas different from your own, or if you simply don’t trust that you can stand on your own two feet if you’re left to your own devices… well, my friend, you have some work to do.
Luckily, you have two things going for you:
you CAN do this, and
You have me here to help.
I have 100% faith in the fact that:
You CAN stand on your own two feet.
You CAN learn to identify your needs and communicate them effectively.
You CAN be well in every aspect of your being (and, in fact, already are, more than you know)
You CAN actually and fully enjoy your life!
