“If you want to be respected by others the great thing is to respect yourself. Only by that, only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you.”- Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Above all things, one should maintain his self-respect, and there is but one way to do that, and that is to live in accordance with the highest ideal.”- Robert G. Ingersoll
“People need self-respect, but self-respect must be earned– it cannot be self-respect if it’s not earned -and the only way to earn anything is to achieve it in the face of the possibility of failing.”- Charles Murray
“…the only way to earn anything is to achieve it in the face of the possibility of failing.”-
We need friends. But we need good friends. Your friends can make or break you. So when you are choosing your friends, choose wisely. And if you cannot find a good friend, then be a good friend to someone.
“If you can’t find a good friend, be one.”
Be a good friend to yourself, then to others. Because you cannot give what you don’t have. If you are not a good friend to yourself, to your soul, how can you give it to others? Impossible.
When it comes to choosing your friends, you are in control. Because you are your own master. You can decide who you want to hang out with. You can change your life by changing the people you hang out with. Yes, you cannot change people. But you can change the people you hang out with. It is within your reach. It is within your power. If you do not do it, who will?
It is better to hang out with positive, happy people. Because positive people are infectious. You can do a lot of positive things when you are around positive people. They always carry love in their hearts. They carry happiness wherever they go. And if you want to reach higher in life, you need to be around positive people. You need to do everything within your power to get rid of negative people in your life. You go up with positive people. You go down with negative people.
If you hang out with negative people, you can never enjoy your best life. You can never do your best work. You can never live your best life. Why is that? Because they are energy suckers.
If you want to do your best work, if you want to live your best life, if you want to make yourself happier, you can never do it by hanging out with negative people. You must change yourself. You must let them (negative people) go, so that positive people can come into your life.
