SELF RESPECT: Don't Ever Doubt Your Worth.

Self Respect

Self-respect is about having the courage to stand up for yourself when you are being treated in a manner that is less than what you deserve.

Self-respect forms the foundation of all the decisions you’ll ever make, how you treat yourself, and how you allow others to treat you.

It is about knowing your worth and having the ability to adjust your life and remove people from it if they are treating you poorly. If you have respect for yourself, you will naturally demand respect from others without having to do much of anything. People who have self-respect treat everyone else with respect but acknowledge that not everyone else will do the same. Rather than stooping to their level and disrespecting them, you should simply not interact with them because you should respect yourself enough to know that they are a waste of your time that could be spent on better people.

Respect is one of the most important qualities in your relationship with anyone, and there is no exception when it comes to your relationship with yourself. Self-respect encompasses a multitude of ideals, but it comes down to be the kind of person you are satisfied with showing the world and being someone that you and the people you care about are proud of. Self-respect is about having a sense of honour and dignity about yourself, your choices, and your life. It is about treating others well and knowing that by doing so, others will treat you well in return. Lastly, self-respect is knowing that not everyone will treat you well and choosing to respect everyone nonetheless, but still knowing that you deserve to be surrounded by great people. Having respect for yourself is vital in maintaining a positive self-image by allowing yourself to feel confident in who you are and content with the person you are becoming.

To respect something is to accept it. To respect yourself is to accept yourself. So, it’s only until you truly love and respect yourself, accepting who and what you are, that you can start to believe you are worthy of another person’s love and respect.So, in the end it boils down to this: accept yourself, respect your efforts, and you will in the end respect yourself.

And self-respect leads to self-discipline.

Now that’s real power.
