Self Sufficiency

We need to become somewhat self sufficient. To a point where we aren't a burden on other people, but where we can in fact become a strength to other people. Yet, there is a danger in becoming so self sufficient to the point where we cut ourselves off from other people. Because no matter how strong we become, how wise we think we are, we will always need other people. We need their eyes to see ourselves more completely. We need their voice to speak to us if we're a bit off track. We need their arms to lean into when we have moments of weakness.

So become self sufficient yes, but don't become an island.
