SELF RESPECT
The basis of self-respect is the faith that God loves me. Through this
experience, I will be able to start loving myself. Buy studying God's virtues
and incorporating them in my daily life, faith in my own inherent
worth is enhanced.
It is often difficult to experience self-respect, because my sense of self is
usually based o external things - praise, status, income, and so on.
As these fluctuate, so does my self-appreciation. One day I'll feel there's
no one as good as me and the next I'll feel utterly worthless. Actually,
self-respect is not a matter of what I am doing in my life, but rather the
degree to which I bring quality and virtue to each act.
