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 Patience Can Help You Face Your Life

‘There is no road too long to the man who advances deliberately and without undue haste; there are no honors too distant to the man who prepares himself for them with patience.’- Jean de La Bruyere

Be patient with yourself, no matter what is going on in your life. If you are not where you are supposed to be, be patient with yourself.

If you are not making enough money to live your life, with hard work, everything is going to be alright. Trust what God is doing in your life.

If you have not be treating yourself with love, you have got to stop doing that to yourself. You are on a journey. You are not racing with other people.

You are racing against yourself, your yesterday’s self. Beating yourself up is not going to add anything to your life. Instead, it is going to take a lot from you. For example, your peace, your happiness.

Do not do that to yourself. When things are hard, when things are not going well, just remember why you are here. God created you for a reason.

You are not here by accident. You are not here by mistakes. You are alive to make a difference, to change the world, to write your own history.

Isn’t that great?

That is why you shouldn’t give up, no matter what you are facing in your life right now. If you do not give up, you will win. But if you give up on yourself, on your dreams, everything is over. Life is gone. Dreams are gone.

Please don’t do that to your beautiful life. People are counting on you. People are praying for you to make it in your life.

It is going to be alright. You are not living by accident. You are living a life of purpose. Whatever it is that you want to do, don’t wait for the right time. Because the right time will never come to you.

Now is your right time. Be patient. Don’t rush the process. Because you can’t acquire patience overnight.

If you want to be successful in your life, you must be patient with yourself.

If you want to get to the other side, you must respect yourself. You must be patient with others. Because ‘patience can’t be acquired overnight.’
