‘Respect is a two-way street.’ if you want other people to respect you, you must go first. When you respect people, they will respect you back.

Respect is about trust. People are not going to respect you if they don’t trust you. And that is one of the reasons people don’t respect you. But you can change it.

If you want people to respect you, you must do the following:

Respect yourself. When you respect yourself, people will respect you.

Trust yourself. When you trust yourself, when you always do what you say you are going to do, people will trust you. They are not going to respect you if they don’t trust you.

Be there for others. People are going to respect you if they know you are for them, you have their best interests at heart.

So if you want people to respect you, be comfortable being yourself.

‘You would not think any duty small, if you yourself were great.’- George MacDonald

You are not your work. But you are not going to do more than how you see your work.

If you don’t respect your work, you are disrespecting yourself.

If you do not value what you are doing, you are not going to do it really well.

And if you do not do what you are doing better than your past jobs, you are stealing from your future self.

Whatever you are doing right now, do not play with it, take it seriously. When you take what you are doing seriously, you will do whatever is within your power to make it happen, to be great at it, and to take it to the next level

It does not mean more time; it means quality. It means gratitude. It means love. It means growth. It means life.

If you are NOT growing, check how you are doing what you are doing. Ask yourself, ‘Why am I not getting better?’ Am I doing it with love? Am I giving it my all? Or, am I just killing time?

If you pay attention to what you are doing, what you are doing will pay attention to you.

Growth is a two-way street. You always get what you put into something. If you do not respect your job, you are not going to be happy with your life.
