The Power Of Self-Respect: Love Yourself First

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Respect who you are. Because self-respect is self-love. If you do not respect yourself, it means you do not love yourself.

Respect who you are. Because if you do not respect yourself, no one is going to respect you.

Whether you have or you do not have, your life matters. It matters to God, your Father.

Do not mess it up. Self-respect is knowing who you are, what you want, what you do not want, and where you are going in your life.

Self-respect is about accepting your life. It is not about comparing your life to other people. It is having the courage to trust yourself, to love your life, no matter where you are.

Self-respect is having the courage to say NO to people who do not treat you as a human being.

Self-respect means self-belief. It means self-care. Self-respect is knowing that you are enough to make a difference in your life.

Self-respect is knowing that you are not competing against other people. It is knowing that you are running your own race, that you are competing against yourself.

It is means valuing yourself enough to know what you want to focus your energy on.

So if you want other people to respect you, you must first respect them. You must see people as people, not as numbers.

The question is, ‘How are you treating people?’

The Power Of Honesty: Own Your Story

‘If you cannot tell the truth about yourself, you cannot tell it about other people.’- Virginia Woolf

Be honest with yourself. Tell the truth. No matter where you are, what is going on, if you want to experience peace in your life, you must be honest with yourself.

Do not deceive yourself. Don’t make things up. Tell the world about yourself.

Do not be scared to talk about yourself. If you do not do it, someone else will do it for you.

Do not let that happen. Because you are enough. Because you have what it takes to tell your own story. You are strong enough, smart enough, to write your own story.

If you are not writing your own story, someone else is writing it.

If you want to read the correct story about yourself, you must write it yourself. You must own your story.

That is what honesty is. Honesty is when you have the courage to accept your life, when you are NOT scared to talk about your mistakes, your failures, your successes, and your dreams.

Tell it. Say something about yourself. You know who you are, what you have done, what you are doing, and where you want to be. We don’t know what you are thinking, but you know what you are thinking right now.

We don’t know what you are planning to do next, but you know where you are going. We do not know what you have done in the past, but you know what you have done in the past, and where you have been. You know everything about your life.

When you are comfortable with yourself, when you are comfortable with your mistakes your failures, they can’t control you anymore.

That is one of the benefits of being honest with yourself, with others. When you are honest with yourself, you are free. Honesty means freedom.

Because you do not have anything to hide. You are free. You are free because you are not afraid to talk about your life.

You are comfortable with yourself, no matter where you are. That is what people want. People want to deal with real people, people who have nothing to hide.

When you are who you are, no one can control you. Because you do not have anything to hide.

The question is, ‘Are you living your life?’
