Self Encouragement

One decision can set you up for life but you must have conformity to be strong. The truth behind being so strong is everyone struggles in their everyday life. Trying your best is what Ralph Waldo Emerson is trying to communicate in his “Self-Reliance” essay in 1841. Be independent, strong, and trust yourself.

You could be so foolish because something great is within your reach but you just don’t know it. “Great men have always done so, and confined themselves childlike to the genius of their age, betraying their perception that the absolutely trustworthy was seated at their heart, working through their, predominating in all their being” this phrase is so strong that I believe it. Live and trust yourself.

Sometimes in life you have to be independent because not everyone has the same intentions as you. Be your own person because you don’t want to live in a society where everyone is the same. “He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness”, look for own goodness. Go in deeper to find the true meaning of goodness.

People set up resolutions to defeat their old self and old demons but why? For me people come out of their fragile shells to be stronger and tougher. Finding yourself goes a thousand ways like “To be great is to be misunderstood” that goes even stronger. Set foundations to elaborate and grow on. Only reminder to be great and strong is you only live once.

So in conclusion Emerson was saying try your best in everything. Be independent, strong, and trust yourself because you are here for a reason. Have faith in yourself because you cant hide all your life.
