Facing facts.
We cannot grow or progress in life if we refuse to face facts about ourselves. If we accept lies then we are deceiving ourself. If we are blaming someone else for our weaknesses and our personal problems then we are unwilling to face the real truth about ourself. Living a lie will produce a lie, and whenever that lie has to face the truth it will crumble because it has no foundation of strength to hold it up.
You and I don’t have to live a lie. If we really want to be strong then we need to be willing to cry some tears, face some fears. We need to see ourself in our basic form and then face the truth about ourself. If we have problems it is time to accept that they are there (the first step to solving them) and then find ways to deal with them and get a positive result for our efforts.
If other people are our courage then we will be “owned by them” and not be anything but a simple weak people pleaser. One cannot stand strong as a crumbled heap because others are our strength. Only we ourselves can distance ourself from them and stand alone.
If you need help then rely on God fully and completely as He will show you who can help you.
God never intended us to be slaves to anyone. But He did intend us to be loved unconditionally. God loves you unconditionally and He will bring the faithful who listen, to people who will love them unconditionally. Be free.
