Abraham Hicks: Beautiful Day Rampage!

Independence or Self Dependence

As an important day in the United Stated comes to an end, much thought and tribute has been given to Independence.  Moreover, celebration has been attributed to the very sought after state.  Is it worth it?

Independence is the freedom from control.  Self Dependence is reliance on one's self.  Is one better than the other?

Have we given so much focus to finding the absence of control from our lives that we have forgotten to be responsible for ourselves?  Was our misstep in life to assume that we wanted no control placed upon us?  Don't we submit to a myriad of control in our lives anyways and still paint the mask of independence?

Has the ability to rely on one's self taken a back burner to the other more buzz worthy word?  I hear all the time of children bucking the current to gain their own independence but never their guided efforts to earn self dependence.  I hear all the time of groups wanting to overthrow some opined oppressing government and gain their independence, but never any plans of establishing self dependence.

Has our thirst for and attention to control fogged the window on our ability to use our own Guidance to our goals?  Does the very attention to who has control instead of who is supporting skew our ability to thrive, survive and succeed?  Interesting points to ponder.
