SELF RESPECT AND THE ART OF REFLECTING

Respecting yourself is a something that people don't do enough of.  It requires you to be comfortable in your own skin, to be proud of your gifts and abilities no matter what, and it requires that you stop speaking negatively about yourself.  That's a big one!   Most people have trouble accepting compliments and feel they have to minimize themselves in some way shape or form.

Learning to believe in yourself is a journey.

To believe that you are worthy of greatness, love and kindness.  Worthy of pursuing your dreams and achieving them.  The greatest success along that journey is to embrace who you are.  

Maybe it is time we start celebrating who we are more often.  To become wholly authentic with who with are and not afraid to share it with the world and ourselves.  I think we all deserve a little bit of respect, don't you?
