“Life treats you the way you treat you.”— Laura Frederickson

Life treats us the way we treat ourselves because we first learn this from life or specifically from modeling another person. Most of our unconscious learnings come from our conscious learnings. Although it is difficult to treat another with respect, because we’ve been mistreated, we still do have a choice to treat another with respect. But if we first begin to treat ourselves respectfully, then it will get easier to be respectful of others.  When we respect another human, we’re allowing that person to feel confidence in his or herself. Confidence in one self is important because it make us feel good about ourselves in which those around us will feel the positive effect.

“If anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart.” —Buddha

What we think is worth doing really depends on how important it is to us. It is through our background and our experiences that we acquire what we think is worth doing.  One person may find running is worth doing while another person may find reading a book is worth doing. It all depends on what we find worthy of doing. However, there are things we don’t know yet if they are worth doing. For us to find out, we would have to start doing things and experience them to discover if we like doing them.

 

It’s All Right to Please Ourselves, Too

When we don’t do the things we asked ourselves to do, we disappoint ourselves.  It’s all right to please others as long as we please ourselves as well.  When we please others, we go out of our way to make them happy. When we have desires, we can go out of our way to make ourselves happy.

It’s all right to treat self with respect. When we say we’re going to set a goal and meet the goal, we’re respecting ourselves, but if we don’t follow through with our goals we have set then we’re disrespecting ourselves and disappointment and self-doubt can set in.

Since we’re always going to live with ourselves, we might as well get some self-respect. When we start respecting ourselves, things begin to happen, things begin to open up for us.

When Biases Hurt and Respect Heals

Showing respect (RIP Ku, Sept 19, 2008)

We all have biases. However, biases can hurt. We aren’t defined by biases of others and our biases shouldn’t define others.

Therefore, we shouldn’t impose our biases on others, instead we need to learn how to get to know the person. Biases are easily made when we don’t know the other person.

We’re all unique people but with similarities. Respecting others is the first step of letting go of our biases. If we want to be treated with respect, then it must start with us.

We don’t have to wait for someone to show us respect, but to be model examples by showing others respect. When we show respect towards another person, their hostility towards us will decrease.

Biases can hurt but respecting others can be healing.

Be Confident Being You

Be Your Self by Anna Laurini

Instead of being impressed about the confidence that another may have, we ought to be confident being ourselves because being confident in ourselves means self-acceptance.

Without self-acceptance there is no confidence. Being confident means feeling good about our selves while in the moment. When we’re confident in ourselves others take notice.

Others are drawn to us when we express confidence, because other people want to know more about us. Expressing confidence is not about hiding our faults.

Besides, no one is without fault. In spite of our faults, we can express our confidence.  Being confident is fully being our selves without reservations.

We don’t have to wonder how others think about us because we’re already accepting everything about us; therefore, we’re more accepting of others.

What is Self-Worth?

Self-ish
Post Written By Eugene Morgan

What is self-worth? Self-worth means placing emphasis on how much we value ourselves. How much we value our selves affects every area of our lives. Self-worth can affect our relationships, it can affect our work, and it can even affect our health.

If our self-worth decreases, then those fore mentioned areas of our lives will be affected negatively as well. If our self-worth increases, then those fore mentioned areas of our lives will be affected positively as well.  Increasing our self-worth means to believe and trust in our abilities. Our capacities are there we just need to run with them. The resources are there too, we just need to use them.
