Relying on our own strengths

"A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because, her trust is not on the branch but on it's wings" - Denzel Washington

So often we place our trust on external factors, hoping that when we need help and support it will be there no matter what. However, to our big disappointment that help and support is often not there when we need it. Therefore, I believe that we must always rely on our own strengths, resources, and abilities, have trust in ourselves despite how difficult or challenging things may get. When we rely on ourselves, we know that the only person who can and will find a solution to whichever problem we may be facing is us.
