Switch On: Independence

Look introspectively to identify the patterns in your life. You have the power to isolate and change behaviors to become the person you want to be.

The more you rely on yourself instead of others, you’ll realize how incredibly self-sufficient you are. When you put up your hand and put down your foot, you’re walking the independent life path.

Stop depending on others for the answer.

Stop relying on the majority because they’re the majority.

Stop caring what other people think of you.

Stop waiting for others to determine how you get to feel and what choices you get to make.

The most powerful part of being independent is the freedom to control your destiny. It’s the freedom to make your own decisions and choices. Do you know how much time and energy you spend when you’re concerned with what others think and say about you? Make the conscious choice to let go of your dependence on others. It’s a transformative experience that will restructure your life. You’ll free up resources you never knew you had. You can direct this recovered time and energy to execute more productively in your life.

Being independent doesn’t mean that you’re a loner walking along a country road, or that it’s a table for one. It means that you’re not dependent on other people for your opinions, self-worth, emotions, and decisions. You can seek others’ counsel, rely on your wolfpack, and accept feedback and constructive criticism. But you don’t live your life for others’ enjoyment. It’s about being in control of your decisions and choices, and then about making the best decisions and choices for you.

If you’re living by other people’s standards and rules, you’re trapped in an endless cycle of artificiality that helps other people gain influence and power over your life. Independence is not only about the freedom from dependence and the ability to think and act freely—it’s also about your ability to live by your rules. You must decide what’s best for your life. Other people can’t decide that for you.
