    The Person You Wish You Could Be

    Leah K,

    Self Sufficient -  Able to provide for oneself without the help of others; independent.

    1. able to supply one's or its own needs without external assistance.
    2. having extreme confidence in one's own resources or powers.
     
    I've been realizing lately, being able to provide for yourself sometimes requires the help of others.  It requires allowing others to do what's needed.  I have always been an "I can do it myself" girl.  I'm changing to believe Self Sufficient is a negative term.  I want to strive for Self Reliance.  Being able to recognize what needs to be done and using everything and anything to make it happen.  Even if that means using someone else's sweat and blood. 
     
     
    Self Reliance - Reliance on one's own capabilities, judgment, or resources; independence.
     
     
    Faithful - 
    1. Adhering firmly and devotedly, as to a person, cause, or idea; loyal.
    2. Engaging in sex only with one's spouse or only with one's partner in a sexual relationship.
    3. Having or full of faith.
    4. Worthy of trust or belief; reliable.
    5. Consistent with truth or actuality: a faithful reproduction of the portrait.
     
    I'm glad I am faithful.  It is a quality I have an abundance of, but it's not enough.  It's an inactive quality.  I am faithful by not departing from something.  I am faithful by not changing my beliefs.  I want it to be an active choice.  I also want it to show to the outside world.  I want others to be able to look up to my faith.  My faith in people.  My faith in myself.  My faith in God.  I want it to be evident.  
     
     
    Some more words I wish would be in my life?
    Home, Family, Love, Partnership, Freedom, Success, Confidence.  All of these things are missing right now.  I can feel them coming.  I can taste them. 
     
    Through faith in my own self reliance I can acquire all of these things.... right?
