Self-determination is one of the most important factors to control your life and not slip away from others’ influence.
Self-determined people will make their choices and manage their life on their own.
Have you ever felt that your decisions are not in your control?
Do you ever wonder why your life is off track?
Do you feel your life is micromanaged by someone?
Yes, these questions commonly strike if you are not self-determined and your life is influenced by others.
You need to draw a boundary between people who try to force you, influence you, try to prove you wrong, and convince you to take a decision in favor of them.
If you take their actions lightly, you will realize that you lost your decision-making powers and you no longer manage your life. It is they who take decisions on your behalf and control every action of yours.
Self-determination is a major factor that influences your confidence and independence in leading your life as per your wish. Therefore never lose your self-determination.
I hope these quotes help you alarm yourself about the importance of being self-determined and motivate you to do the same.
