How to be more independent by Carla

"It's so gratifying!!"

How I did it: I think life did it to me first, and then I just adapted to it. Some people I depended on greatly failed me (since they were human and all).  I gradually saw that this was a consistent theme and realized that I needed to change.  

I spent so much time being upset because my happiness was reliant upon someone else who may or may not have been physically, mentally, or emotionally capable/available of dealing with whatever issue I had at the time.  I recognized this and vowed to stop counting on others.  It took time, trust me.






Lessons & tips: Get really comfortable with you.  

All aspects of you.  
Accept your strengths and your weakness.  You need be really comfortable and strong in and of yourself to be independent.  
You have every thing you need IN YOU to be a complete person.  
Every one on the outside is just a bonus, but you don't NEED them.
