Self Reliance

This symbol is one of the Jungian archetypes and signifies the unification of consciousness and unconsciousness in a person and representing a psyche as a whole. It represents individualism and one's personality.   
"To be like me is to deny who you are, and to deny who you are is to deny the most apparent truth you will ever know." -Dr. Jason J. Campbell

Self reliance is much more then just confidence or self assurance it's self realization and knowing who you are as an individual. People can tell you to walk like this or talk like that and completely change your outside appearance and mannerisms but they can never take away who 'you' are. A great man once said "To imitate is to commit suicide." At the end of the day all you have is yourself so it's best to just be yourself.

  1. I like the way you described self reliance Kyle. How you said it is much more than self assurance is right but I think self reliance means more to depend on your self and not others more than to not imitate them.
