“If I could sum up why I’m committed to the HR Girlfriends community it would come down to because we are ‘….in this together.'”

Affirmation: Independence is Fulfilling

As I traverse this wonderfully complex world, I treasure my freedom.

When I wake up each morning, I smile at the possibilities that the day has in store for me. Knowing that I alone dictate my movements gives me the fearlessness to conquer. I step out with confidence because I believe in my abilities and worth.

Being liberated prevents me from being confined in a box. Although social norms expect certain things from me, I avoid conforming because I have the ability to be different.

Independent thinking opens my mind to new ways of doing things. I am willing to listen to the perspectives of others and form my own opinion. Very rarely do I feel obligated to accept what another person thinks without first considering it myself.

My conscience is clear and free when I make decisions that are well thought out. That freedom to rely on my preferences for a career choice allows me to choose a job that I love. The work environment that I end up in is always aligned with my preferences.

Today, my independence is worth celebrating. Having the opportunity to walk to the beat of my own drum is liberating. I embrace my life and the choices I make. They define my version of myself instead of someone else’s.

Self-Reflection Questions:

  1. In which area of my life is there room to let go of dependencies?
  2. How do I determine when collaboration is able to produce more fulfilling results than independent thinking?
  3. What are some of the choices that I am free to make without the constraints of others?
