Support.
What would life be without it? Whether we choose to
acknowledge it or not, the truth of the matter is that we all depend on support
to get through life. There is not a thing wrong with this, of course we need
support to become successful- but we must not fully depend on it from others.
It is important to support ourselves… But what exactly does that mean? Independence
and Strength. You must be confident in your ventures and give yourself support
by knowing that you can achieve whatever it is you set your mind to. By
acknowledging your capabilities, you are allowing yourself to grow into your
success. With confidence, persistence, and resilience, one can achieve almost
anything in this world. All of these things also bring forth self-support.
That being
said, on the flip-side, it is important to support others. Just how does one do
that? Be there for people. Always listen to what they have to say and encourage
them to branch out and reach for whatever it is they truly want to reach for.
Whether it be a job, grades in school, or even a relationship, be supportive.
You must be real with your friends and peers, and always let them know how you
see it- but you must also respect their decisions and support their goals,
whether they be long-term or short-term. You should want to see other people
succeed, so you should always be there to give words of advice and encouragement.
Do not let your opinions wander too far though, do not overstep your boundaries
of being overly-involved in someone’s life and personal decisions. Be there to
offer your assistance, but always support someone’s decisions (unless, of
course, those decisions are dangerous).
Remember,
support is the key to success, whether you are supporting someone else, or they
are supporting you. Go out, give confidence to others, and encourage them to do
the same for others as well!
