Self-Sufficiency

Self-sufficiency is relying on the system as little as you can. It could mean keeping the minimum amount of money in the banks. It could mean growing your food or relationships with local farmers in your area instead of always buying from a large grocery store chain. It could also look like having a few months' supplies of emergency foods in case of an SHTF scenario. It could also mean working to build your own business so that you are no longer reliant on an employer for income.

Self-Reliance

You can also work to develop self-reliance. You can become more self-reliant by starting to pay off any debt you may have. You can find creative ways to increase your income and build multiple income streams to become financially independent. You don’t want to rely solely on a single paycheck from one employer. What happens if they decide to fire you? What happens if they choose to replace you with robots or technology?

Escape From The System

The system is working precisely as intended. It is meant to keep you down. It is designed to keep you living paycheck to paycheck. It wants you to be unhappy. It wants you to remain stuck. It creates conflict by making people fight against each other over things that don’t matter. Such as politics. What they may or may not have between their legs. The color of someone’s skin. What someone may or may not wear on their face. What someone may or may not have put into their bodies. Divide and conquer is how the system works to keep people confused and keep you from successfully reaching your goals.

Internal Validation

Internal validation is the process of how you vindicate yourself. You prove to yourself that you can do something. When you prove to yourself that you can do something you have set as a goal for yourself. You also develop self-confidence. As you become more confident and accomplish your goals, you steadily improve yourself each day. Rather than getting validation from others, you can get it from yourself by completing your life goals.

Think For Yourself

In a society that wants to tell you how to think from the news, entertainment, politicians, and the education system, your neighbor wants to tell you what to think. It is critical to be able to think for yourself. It just requires being able to question authority. Stand for your principles. Don’t immediately make decisions but take time to think. Don’t be afraid to question everything!

The education system does not teach you how to think because the education system, from kindergarten to higher education, is intended to indoctrinate people. It does not want critical thinkers. It is designed to create employees and citizens who do not question. The mainstream media is used to keep you in a state of fear. The entertainment industry is meant to ensure that you continue wasting your time watching meaningful entertainment instead of working to improve yourself and reach your goals.

Think for yourself. Question authority. Question everything.

Conclusion
