Be Self-Reliant. I think this is one of the biggest successes one can work towards and it is always an ongoing process, and this rabbit hole goes as deep as you want it to. It’s as simple as being able to get yourself up, make a living (however you decide to do that), pay for or acquire (in an ethical manner) the things you need to survive and do it day in and day out. This can turn in to somebody ending up on the TV show Alone, and being able to live by yourself in the harshest places in the world with very little supplies for months at a time. Maybe even a better phrase of it is “Personal Sovereignty.”
As usual I try to tie these conversations back to health and fitness in some way. Fitness is a great way to gain personal sovereignty, if you do not have to rely on anybody to do basic chores, have a good ability to fight off general sickness, such as colds and Flu, and can move a long distance with ease this is a good indication that you have a good level of self-reliance. There is, however, a few other things that fall into this equation in my opinion, mental toughness, discipline, and curiosity are among them.
So, train, someway, to gain more self-reliance and personal sovereignty, workout so you could accomplish any task without the help of others, and try to learn new skills. I am not diminishing the need for help from others at times, in this day and age life can get complicated, and we all need that from time to time, I am just talking about a progressive movement towards a person’s ability to do more and more on your own.
Here is a workout to start helping you move towards more personal self-reliance:
