What is our reaction to ourselves when we encounter a problem, a feeling, or when we face the prospect of assuming responsibility for ourselves?Do we believe in others and ourselves?
Do we give power to people - including ourselves - and their abilities?
Or do we give the power to the problem, the feeling, or the irresponsibility?
Each of us is responsible for ourselves.
That does not mean we don't care.
It does not mean a cold, calculated withdrawal of our support from others.
It means we learn to love and support people in ways that work.
It means we learn to love and support ourselves in ways that work.
It means that we connect with friends who love and support us in ways that work.
To believe in people, to believe in each persons inherent ability to think, feel, solve problems, and take care of themselves is a great gift we can give and receive.
