SELF-RESPECT

Question: Who DESERVES the most RESPECT in YOUR LIFE?

Answer: YOU! You do. You deserve the most respect.

However, earning that respect begins with you. Yes, You!

You have to have SELF-RESPECT long before you can respect others and most definitely long before others will even think about respecting you.

I cannot stress this enough: YOU MUST ALWAYS RESPECT YOURSELF.

If you want to succeed in life you must succeed in SELF-RESPECT.

By setting and sticking to the standards and boundaries you set for yourself, you will find yourself in a better position to push yourself further and higher. All the while, it will make it easier to identify individuals that offer you no respect or used you to their advantage because they could clearly see you had no respect for yourself.

Have Some Self-Respect and get to moving on and up!

About Respecting Others

As I mentioned, RESPECT is a TWO-WAY street. You Get It and You Give It. However, as a leader you have to take the initiative and be the first one to give that respect to others. 
However, make it perfectly and clearly known to you that you can and must withdraw that respect when you are no longer being respected or disrespected. 
You CANNOT sacrifice your own self-respect because you are “supposed” respect someone when they do not deserve your respect or are abusing that respect because of the position they hold in the family hierarchy or on the company’s corporate ladder.

ABOUT RESPECT

Defined as “a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements” RESPECT is above all else a TWO-WAY street. You Get It and You Give It. Just as quickly as you give it, you can take it back. You can stop respecting someone after a lifetime of respect. RESPECT is a fickle being and is something not to be taken lightly.

This week we will talk about the different aspects of RESPECT and what we can and cannot do about it. However, there is something to think about: When we are told that we are “supposed to” respect someone or something, are we truly and freely giving that respect?

In that case, that thing we give is commonly known as PLATITUDES.

Question everything especially those things and individuals that “demand” to be respected.
