Help Yourself - Swami Vivekananda

Therefore, stand up, be bold, be strong. Take the whole
responsibility on your own shoulders, and know that you are the
creator of your own destiny. All the strength and succour you want is
within yourselves.

It is a tremendous error to feel helpless. Do not seek help from
anyone. We are our own help. If we cannot help ourselves, there is
none to help us... this is the last and greatest lesson, and oh, what
a time it takes to learn it!... Just think of that huge mass of
misery, and all caused by this false idea of going to seek for help!

There is no help for man. None ever was, none is, and none will be...
But you are spirit. Pull yourself out of difficulties by yourself!
Save yourself by yourself! There is none to help you - never was. To
think that there is, is sweet delusion. It comes to no good.
