Self-respect is the foundation of every success.

Self-respect is the bedrock of our character and all aspects of our lives. Each of us has a responsibility to safeguard our own interests. No one can care for us as well as we can. Without self-respect, one cannot build or achieve anything. Such a person will always be subject to the whims of others, allowing it due to a lack of self-respect. But with self-respect, we are empowered to shape our own destiny.

All paths lead to and from us, so when we embark on the journey to self-respect, we start with ourselves. The road to self-respect begins with instilling respect in our small decisions. Every act of self-respect we show builds a strong foundation of respect in our character. When we respect ourselves in the little things, we are shaping our character to be respectful in the big things.

When we respect ourselves, other people will respect us, and we will radiate this outward. All our actions start from the inside out, from ourselves to others. People don't respect people who have a lack of self-respect. Sometimes, you don't have to know someone to know that this person has no self-respect; you feel it. The energy around that person never lies.

There is a similar story here as with the mirror - when you look in the mirror and respect the person you see, others will also respect you when they look at you. We always solve all problems, starting with ourselves. First, we solve the problem in our heads, and then the solution manifests itself externally in the real world, never the other way around.

People often don't understand why others disrespect them. When you respect yourself, others will follow and respect you, too. We should always remember that we decide how others perceive us. How we think about ourselves, talk about ourselves, and what we do for ourselves show others - our attitude towards ourselves. Others follow what we show them - never the other way around.

So, dear reader, respect yourself in even the most minor decisions, and others will also respect you in more significant decisions. Make sure that the reflection in your mirror is always full of respect when you look at yourself in it.
