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?’

How To Create An Uncommon Life

‘Anyone who dreams of an uncommon life eventually discovers there is no choice but to seek an uncommon approach to living it.’- Gary Keller

Dreams are good, but they are not enough to make your life better. Success starts with a dream, but it does not end there.

If you want your dreams to come to fruition, you must do the work. The work is the difference between success and failure.

Work is better than talk. Hard work is everything. If you are not willing to work, if you are not willing to make yourself a bit uncomfortable, you are not willing to create an uncommon life.

An uncommon life is not easy, but you can keep it going. It requires you to get in the game. It requires you to be who you are, not who you are not. It requires you to be real with yourself.

You know that when you are true to yourself, you can do a lot more. Focus your energy on what is important to you. Do not waste your energy on things that are not relevant to you. Because your energy is the single most important asset you have in your life.

Don’t waste it. But do what you need to do to get what you want. Because what you want will never come to you. If you are serious about it, you have got to do your best work today.

The question is, ‘Will you?’
