Self-Reliance

"The object of all life is development" - Wallace Wattles.

Self -Reliance is a natural result of living the Georgic foundational principles and mini-ag ideals. This week we discussed continuously developing ourselves and our skills to be more Self-Reliant/less dependent on others: spiritually, emotionally, mentally, educationally, physically; food, shelter, water, clothing. The accomplishment feels good, makes us stronger and opens up more opportunities in life! And remember to Self-Validate yourself for being able to learn a new skill and for the skill itself!

Speaking of Self-Validation, I loved Joshua's paper a few weeks previous about Self-Validation and Mission. He mentioned that sometimes people will tear others down, but when we have the ability to Self-Validate we become independent of other people's opinions...we become self-reliant for our self-worth! Hopefully these are skills you guys are consciously practicing, and perhaps those who tear others down would not feel the need to if they could build themselves up in this positive way.
