Importance of Self-Respect in Life
Have you done all your efforts on achieving something?
You have done so much that you even lose your respect in front of all?
Or are you one of them who can do anything for anyone without caring about your respect or what will say about you?
If any of these questions look like you, then you must read this post. It will change your life and your way of thinking completely.
In this post, I will write about the value of the self-respect in one’s life.
So, let’s get started.
Self-respect in Making a Powerful Personality
Yes, self-respect can make our personality more powerful.
How?
Let me tell this.
What is self-respect?
In simple words, self-respect means respecting and believing in yourself.
So how does it affect our personality? Our personality basically depends upon on these three factors:
1. What we think.
2. What is around us.
3. What we have taught from the beginning.
What we have taught from the beginning we can’t change that.
We can only change what is surround us and what is our thinking.
we can change our surroundings by telling others or giving them right directions, or we can simply leave their company.
So now comes to the most important thing. How we can change our thinking? Did you know that half of our personality developed is by this?
To change our thinking, we must have to believe in ourselves.
Believe in ourselves means to have confidence in yourself. Confidence that you can do it, and can do it better.
Only this thinking can bring a positive change in your life and in your personality.
Self-respect in Making Career
Yes! Self-respect also helps you to build your career.
Now you might be wondering, how?
Let me tell you.
When we have Self-respect, it means that we have our own personality, our own ego, our own attitude. And as you know, personality, attitude helps a lot in making of a successful career.
Don’t be a fool or a man who can do anything for a work, or some plenty of money. Don’t be a flatter.
No one likes that kind of persons. If you have a powerful personality, you have your own self-respect, then people will eventually like you and respect you.
But it is not that we must have some ego or something else. Build a personality that everyone likes. Adopt a positive attitude.
And the most important, “Believe in yourself.”
Believe that you can do it and then do that. It doesn’t matter if you failed. Never let the negativity ruins your personality or self-respect.
Be positive and allows only positive vibes in your life.
Self-respect and Achievements
Don’t mix these both and never compromise on these both things.
Self-respect is something that is what you are now and achievements can be your goals in life.
By never compromising with these both, means never do something by which you lose all your respect in just of achieving something.
Why?
Because that achievement can never make you happy.
Let me explain it with an example.
You have worked all your life and have gained a lot of respect. And then there comes a point when you do something to achieve that thing which you desired always, but in the return of it, you lose all your respect which you earned in working your whole life.
Can that achievement make you happy, even losing your respect?
“Achieve your dreams, but never do something by which you have to regret your whole life.”
Self-Respect and Ego
Now many of us misunderstand by the terms self-respect and ego.
For those who think that these both are same, then you are wrong. Let me clear it to you.
Ego means your idea, your opinions about yourself. Let us take an example if someone says, he has a big ego, then it means he is too full of himself.
As a simple meaning ego means selfish.
Where self-respect means respecting and believing in yourself.
These both are different terms, and both perform a specific function in one life.
It depends on us when and how we use these. If you use these positively then, you will see the positive result yourself.
Running for Someone or Something
This is the very common thing which today generation do. They run someone’s or something back and to achieve it, they lose all their self-respect.
So, let me ask one simple question. Is it that much important to have that, that you are even ready to lose respect?
Is it worth paying for it?
Is it that much value?
No! Don’t be a fool. Never run for someone or something. Make yourself better and successful. And then you will see those things or people eventually come back to you.
Respect yourself, only then others will respect you.
If you keep running for them, you will never get succeed.
As a dog runs behind a car but can never drive that car, so that you. You are wasting your time on these things. Maybe you are on a wrong track.
Work hard, work smart and be successful.
“Don’t lower your standard for anyone or anything. Self-respect is everything.”
