How to have self respect to boost your confidence

Article by Dieter Aschenbrenner

Dieter from famous love quotes online:

Have you ever heard the saying that ‘what you see in others is a reflection of what you see in yourself’. Whether it be something that you are wanting to avoid, or move towards.

So what does that mean? Well, if you ever feel resentment towards someone, then you likely feel resentment towards a part of yourself which could be like that person, or the opposite of what you’re seeing in their behavior.

And that means, if you do not respect others then it is likely that you could not be respecting a part of yourself. Perhaps not giving yourself the respect and appreciation that you deserve.

In order to have respect for ourselves, all you need to do is to make a decision. A decision is all it takes to have self respect, but sometimes it can be difficult to know if we have a lack of self respect or if there is anything that is causing us to not completely respect ourselves.

For example, I was once working with a man who was in maintenance. He would walk around the place that I worked and people would give him a hard time. They wouldn’t treat him too badly, but sometimes the smallest things can be hurtful.

This man however did not stand up for himself, and in his work he moved at a pace that was not contributing from his heart to his employer or the company. (famous love quotes could provide him with some insightful lessons on respect, as they come from great leaders of the past)

Unfortunately this man had a lack of self respect and therefore did not stand up for himself from the demeaning attitude he received from others.

The amazing thing is that because he did not have self respect nor stand up for himself, he seemed to cop more demeaning attitudes than someone who would stand up for themselves. So by giving yourself a lack of self respect, in turn you attract that from others.

But when you respect yourself then you also demand that from others. You demand respect in your work, in your finances and in your relationships with others if you respect yourself.

But if you don’t then you will also receive a lack of respect from those around you.

The secret is that those who are giving you an attitude that is a lack of respect is really a reflection of what’s going on within your unconscious mind, and it’s actually the universe providing these people for you in order to show you something that is not based in truth within your unconscious, and needs to be changed.

The lessons might get stronger and harder until you finally ‘get it’, and when you do then all of a sudden everything in your external world will change, and the universe no longer needs to provide these situations to you in order to highlight what is really going on within your unconscious mind.

So in order to have self respect, all you need to do is be aware of where you are lacking in respect, in a particular area or in general, for yourself, and make the decision to respect yourself and stand up for yourself when anyone gives you a lack of respect. There is no need to be disrespectful to yourself for anyone, or anything in life. To think otherwise is just a lie.

Famous love quotes can help you to discover other areas of your life which can be transformed through awareness of more self love, respect and ultimately discover your inner power.
