How Are You Self-Sufficient?
This week’s question, “How are you self-sufficient?” is in contrast to last Sunday’s “How do you depend on others?” What skills, knowledge, or talent allows you to work on your own?
It’s difficult to imagine many people being entirely self-sufficient. We rely on each other for so many things, not the least of which is basic human companionship.
However, it’s also true that some people are self-starters. They naturally find a motivation to do things, without others showing them how.
Alternately, some skills or hobbies allow for self-sufficiency. If you can knit, you can make your own clothes. If you garden, you can grow your food. Musicians or writers can create their own entertainment.
In what ways are you able to stand on your own? To not depend on others?
