Life is about growth. If you are not growing, then what are you doing?
"This is what wisdom means: To be changed without the slightest effort on your part, to be transformed, believe it or not, merely by waking to the reality that is not words, that lies beyond the reach of words.... Wisdom comes to those who learn nothing, unlearn everything."- Anthony de Mello, theologian You unlearn to learn. If you want to learn, you must first forget about what you think you already know.
We disrespect ourselves when we don't pay attention to our lives, when we are too busy to take care of ourselves, when we can't stand up for ourselves. We disrespect ourselves when we don't reject other people's opinions. We disrespect ourselves when we don't do what we say we are going to do. We disrespect ourselves when we are not true to ourselves. But you can change yourself. Start by treating yourself with love, With respect. When you respect yourself, others will respect you. When you treat others with respect, other people will treat you with respect. You respect yourself when you love yourself, when you accept yourself as you are, and when you accept your weaknesses. You respect yourself when you choose yourself, when you choose life.
