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.
