Are you Self Reliant or still Dependent?
Presented by Chriss with Great Lakes Self Reliance.

Life is all about the choices we make. One choice is: being Self-Reliant or being Dependent. Choosing to be Dependent often causes one to be a victim of those they rely on. Take your chances or take control of your life. Taking more responsibility for your life starts with a commitment to change your thinking, your perspective, habits and even lifestyle. Being Self-reliant can be very empowering and can build one’s self-confidence and self-esteem, which are the mindsets for success in life. Are YOU self-reliant? This is not a yes or no question, but a continuum. Nearly everyone is both, but now discover ways in which you could be even more Self-reliant, why, and how… so that you won’t be the next victim!
