#self reliance

• Self-sufficiency — The capacity of an individual, community, state, or system to ensure total independence by satisfying material and functional needs through own resources. In psychology, the term often defines an exaggerated state of self-satisfaction, spiritual complacency, or infatuation that blocks openness to the environment and the desire for self-improvement.
• Self-sustain — To independently provide the material, financial, energetic, or functional resources necessary for one's own existence, development, or proper operation, without relying on external assistance, subsidies, or interventions. It is used in economics for independently profitable businesses, in ecology for ecosystems in balance, and in psychology for an individual's capacity to maintain emotional stability through their own strength.
• Self-sustenance — The act of self-sustaining and its result; the autonomous process, state, or capacity of a system or individual to ensure its own conditions of subsistence, stability, operation, and development from internal resources. It represents a key concept in modern sustainability theories, indicating the attainment of a threshold of total structural independence against external disruptive factors.
