Please don’t go to the woods with just a knife… Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment… Take responsibility for yourself; rescue yourself.
I won’t call it a climax, because I don’t believe we’re done. The knee jerk reaction of many Americans after January 6th was to point fingers in righteous indignation at the other side for perceived evil and stupidity. No compassion for our fellow Americans.
It is a limited edition and you can not find elsewhere. Acting through personal agency towards positive change requires skills your parents hopefully taught you. Things like impulse control, a willingness to be uncomfortable, and the gumption to do occasionally boring and unpleasant things. If your parents failed at this, then it’s time to parent yourself. You don’t have to turn to self loathing or blame to motivate.

No One Is Coming Expect To Self Rescue
However, Nathaniel Brendon, widely regarded as the world’s foremost expert on the subject of self-esteem, recommends a much more practical approach. You don’t have to wait for anyone else to say or do anything to help you solve your problems, or to get what you want from life. Tracy realized at that moment that everything that happened to him from that moment on was completely up to him.
Even in my darkest moments this winter, feeling like I was painted into a corner, out of reach from any help or hope, that I still had self-rescue tools at my disposal. These tools were the words of friends and family logged into my memory banks over the years. The random acts of kindness and the example set by Good Humans throughout the course of my life. The resilience of the warriors that I work with who have faced adversity on the battlefields and at home that I can only pretend to imagine. Even when no one is coming, they are there. You don’t have to “always.” Get self compassion and then embrace personal agency.

In many ways, I have never felt more alone than I do now. This has been one of the hardest winters that I can remember, when it comes to my mental health. I feel cut off and isolated from everyone, on many levels. Some of that is self-inflicted, some of it is circumstantial.
Expect To Self Rescue Sticker
There are people out there who can lend you a hand if you have a problem, or if there’s some obstacle that you need to overcome. And learning how to ask for help and how to ask for what you want is an important part of achieving your dreams. However, as a general rule, people will not help you unless they see that you’re taking action to help yourself. In the chapter of the book which Branden devotes to self-responsibility, he has a section that’s titled, “No One is Coming”.
In addition to my writing work at Unboxed Life, I volunteer full time with a group called Village Care International. Our whole model and philosophy when working in third-world countries is based on this idea. The notion that each person or community, no matter their current status, can utilize the resources they have on hand to improve their quality of life without outside assistance. Our focus is training and education based with the real work left to the communities.
I really liked the book but he had a chapter in there where the theme reminds me of the first part of the picture. Something about taking your survival into your own hands. Gave a story of a plane that crashed in the rainforests of South America. All the people at the crash site followed the general advice of staying put, so they stayed put. But one girl got separated and she decided not to stay put but to trek through the forests.

Middle ground is no longer permissible in these United States. Pick your team, or be ousted by both. A huge part of not being a victim is about putting an end to blaming. Marcus Aurelius once said, “Reject your sense of injury and the injury itself disappears.” We often think of the victim mindset as the blaming others — they blame their parents, boss, the economy, politics, etc. But we often become victims when we blame ourselves and give our flaws too much power. The amount of idiots that follow up my mentioning I’m in search and rescue with “All I need to survive in the woods is a knife!
I think it’s too much for such small stickers. Sometimes the USPS will tell you your package has been delivered a day or two before they actually deliver it. That’s just the USPS being ridiculous.
I really appreciate this post and am going to share it with my volunteer group. We need more people advocating for this methodology in the world. My conservative friends mock me for wearing a mask. My liberal friends judge me for owning guns. It is difficult to maintain any relationship at all these days, even without a state that’s locked down endlessly and a virus that makes face-to-face connection so much harder.
Just do it differently one time, whatever it is, and see what comes. Here in the real world, however, you make the magic and waiting is just procrastinating. Self respect and personal agency are the only things that will rescue your life. Unfortunately, this also means you must adult, which means fixing your own problems and working for the things you want. It’s empowering and liberating to realize that you have the power to create your best life.
