Self respected person can respect others and owe respect, those who think that they are sacrificing /compromising their lives for others actually repent later in their lives. To be self respected first trust yourself, believe in your capabilities, don’t allow anybody taking you for granted.
Life is tough and gives you kicks at different times .It will burn you to polish the diamond in you, Take it, fight with it, and prove yourself. Stop giving explanations but prove it through actions. Maintain a higher character not to please others but for your own. Give time to yourself, to express yourself, you worth time, love…... Spread love; try to be realistic while dealing with expectation because it hurt you most of the time.
You play different roles at different times but don’t forget that actual you. Don’t be a puppet of emotions all the time. If emotions hire your health then you become weak and so is your immunity and you become prey for diseases. Choose a healthy lifestyle. Start your day with a morning walk in lush green surrounding, feel the nature, pleasing chirping sound of birds and end your day with a thankful note to god for everything.
Stop people from influencing you don’t mean that you are arrogant show them you loved their idea but keep in your mind your own point of view .Don’t allow anybody to hover your mind to the extent of self respect. Loving others, respecting them is different and leaving your own identity to please others is separate things .If people around you really love you, they will understand you and if not then that means they are mean enough to hurt you throughout your life. I won’t say leave them or hurt them but for your own sake set limits for such people. Be happy and let others be happy is my mantra of life.
If you come across to judgmental people, those who think themselves smart enough to judge you all the time,will never leave a single opportunity to make you feel weak, inferior…..to lower your self respect as they are borne with judgmental qualities and can judge you from dawn to dusk are actually weak personalities ,those who feel superior by pushing you down. They are actually jealous of you. Just leave them with their in born traits and be your own judge and give them food for thought.
In conclusion forget about the people because they keep on changing with time, they are updated enough. In good times, they will laugh with you, give you their valuable company, will make you feel on the top of world. But the moment you will fall, nobody will come to you to hold your hand instead they will blame you to infinity, give you their expert advices and do everything to break your spine.
The solution and one line answer to such people is that sit on a higher seat [beyond the threshold limit of influence of people] of self respect where nobody can affect you. Feel superior but don’t forget the one above you , who is controlling everything. Love his creation, appreciate it and respect it not for others but for your own SELF RESPECT.

good motivational post!
thanks magiceye,motivation works like oil in human machine.
There is a thin demarcation between Self Respect & Ego.Self Respect is due to what you are whereas ego is something created out of pride.
Yes sir, completely agree with you.When you cross the fine line of self respect it becomes ego .
That was a nice post making one think about who one is. I agree with Ayyangar on self-respect and ego. unfortunately one only comes across more and more egotistic people today.
I am glad we in the same network now. Do visit my blog too!
Its great to see you on my blog and thanks for the appreciation.Yes its sad but truth that now a days you come across hard coated egoistic people .
Surely I will visit your blog too.
Very thought provoking.
Thanks for such great words from you.
Self respect or self love is a positive attribute while ego is negative...but sometimes hard decisions need to be taken to maintain sanity...these can't be counted as egoistic though they appear so to onlookers...preservation of the soul is so important and then your happiness is more important that the happiness of others...thin line of separation between the two.
Great post

don’t allow anybody taking you for granted.
This is a very important point especially with our close family and friends. when we stay together we start taking people for granted. Maybe we ourselves are taken for granted. And till it is too late we do not realize the importance of our family.
yes completely agree with you.If you will show higher self esteem ,people will give you that.
