My practical experience with self reliance.

For me :

1. I was never less busy / idle. When there is no job , there is work , so I go to work. Either by volunteering or managing something for someone. I once did sales boy , cleaner , laundry. If I were a house boy right now , I’ll be the best house boy in the world. I’ll do houseboyism in the most admirable way.
2. I learnt from the best. If you have not measurably achieved more than I have , then the two of us needs to find someone who has done better and learn from him or her instead of decieving ourselves. Learn from the best, even if from a distance.
3. I don’t struggle with life and I form , invest in relationships. I let go of relationships where we don’t want what’s best for each other. As a matter of fact most times, they let go of me. And it’s good that way , as I may not be courageous enough to kick them away, but I can outgrow them to the extent they become inconvenient catching up. On the other side, I don’t just spend money whether to buy something or purchase things , I invest in the relationship between me and the seller , so much that when I don’t have money , they still choose to sell to me. That’s a sustainable relationship.
4. I serve people ooo . Either buy selling something to them , which is often hard or by helping them get something done, one way or the other they pay me , feed me or refer me to greatness.
5. ⁠through number 4 , I careful grow as time grows . So where you left me yesterday you’d never find me there again. I outgrow my space and time.
