<p style="text-align:center;"> Self-Reliance IS Sustainability.</p> <p style="text-align:center;"> “It’s what you must think of now.”</p>   Season 2 Episode 12 of The WISDOM podcast with Dorothy Ratusny <p> </p> <p>Self-reliance is having confidence in and exercising one's own powers or judgment. In fact, that is how we all need to live.</p> <p> </p> <p>Sustainability refers to a lifestyle that involves the use of sustainable methods / of harvesting or using a resource so that the resource (and this resource could be ourselves), that is not depleted or permanently damaged.</p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align:center;"></p> <p> </p> TRUTH SERUM: “There will continue to be uncertainty. You must become certain about what you want and how you wish to live your life. This time is a time of freedom – freedom from what has held you hostage from yourself. What you will choose to be a new set of practices and beliefs that you will hold; will allow you to rebirth yourself into something more, something better. You need this time to awaken; to set in motion this new stage of your life. You already have everything that you need for this.” A-HA MOMENTS: In this brave new world we are living in, we are being challenged to examine what has been a pattern of reliance on structures, protocol, process, of external powers and condolences and of continuing to do what civilization has done since the industrial revolution. We have followed a model that has not always been self-sustaining nor healthy for ourselves and for the planet. PRACTICAL WISDOM:  Yes, you have every right to have what you want in life; but are your desires to have more and better based on an ego-driven response and fuelled by competition, power and privilege; or are you making decisions that take into consideration your needs based on sustainability, conscientious and thoughtful decisions, humane, ethical, and kind practices? <p>  </p> <p>For a <a href='https://www.dropbox.com/s/b9f366r4sotvb5n/Self-Reliance%20is%20Sustainability%20-%20The%20WISDOM%20podc
