IMPORTANCE OF SELF RESPECT IN LIFE

Self Respect is a positive emotion. It is all about honoring yourself and honoring what you stand for. It makes you independent and it comes only when you follow the path of discipline. Self Respect makes you respect your boundaries; it helps you define and honor your own opinion as distinct from others. Also, respect the choices you make in your life and above all, it gives you independence of thought.

It forms the foundation of all the decisions you will ever make, how you treat yourself, and how you allow others to treat you.

Self-respect is about having a sense of honor and dignity about yourself, your choices, and your life. For example, when you treat others well and they will treat you well in return. Having respect for yourself is vital in maintaining a positive self-image by allowing yourself to feel confident in who you are and content with the person you are becoming.

One main thing is our self-respect (dignity) is not only important in life but also the essence of life. Because self-respect holds great importance as it resists you in doing the wrong things in life and pushes you forward to do great things. Apart from respecting others having self-respect is a great deal in one's life.

Self-respect is indicative of how you view yourself. And creating your self-respect will keep your positive feelings about you flowing and growing. Create positive emotions and thoughts about yourself lead to self-respect or is it the other way around? The truth is that they both influence each other. When you practice self-respect, you will feel more positive emotions and thoughts about yourself. Also, when you experience more positive emotions and thoughts about yourself, self-respect will naturally come.

The following tips will help you to develop a healthy level of self-respect.

1. Create self-respect.

2. Consider your own feelings.

3. Avoid making self-deprecating comments.

4. Keep a journal

5. Take care of your emotional needs.

6. Acknowledge to yourself that you deserve respectful treatment.

7. Treat others with respect.

Self-respect encompasses a multitude of ideas, but it comes down to being the kind of person you are satisfied with showing the world and being someone that you and the people you care about are proud of. Lastly, self-respect is knowing that not everyone will treat you well and choosing to respect everyone nonetheless, but still knowing that you deserve to be surrounded by great people.

One’s self-respect enriches the lives of those around them but their ego makes lives miserable as well. Self-respect is the harbinger of happiness but ego brings despair. Be a person with self-respect. Never let your self-respect convert into ego.

An egoism always is inclusive of hidden self-respect in its backdrop. But self-respect need not be an egoist. Egoism is unwanted and always hurts as it is obvious in one's behavior. But self-respect is not noticeable always. Hence it is desirable. Everyone must be self-respect to safeguard their identity.

Our challenge in managing ego is not to hurt our self-respect (or self-esteem). There is a fine line between ego and self-respect, and we need to understand it. The very basic difference is – ego is negative and counterproductive while self-respect is positive and a sign of confidence.

Do not get confused with self-respect and ego. They are a different side of the same coin. Focus on what you are and what you want to think of. We all have an ego, self-respect is ego a bit Inflated. Action to prove self is like doubting your own image on the mirror.

Ego: A perplexed condition of your relationship

Having a person in life that really admires you and your feelings, is indeed a blessing. This blessing needs to be pampered and respected well even if any condition. Obviously, the feel and the bond between the two is created and then raised by the trust, love, and affection. This must be stronger day by day but somehow sometimes this starts getting weak, and this makes you think about the same again and again.

You both were dived in the deep ocean of love but suddenly, everything starts changing. A single seed of ego starts growing and then all get ruined. Though people know about the term ‘Ego’, to understand the same takes much time. Till a couple understands their ego problem, the love ocean has soaked totally and gets barren. 

Remember how you started

Once you both met and that was planned by Almighty. Often you started the conversation with each and then the awkward communication turns into friendship. Indeed, friendship is the most beautiful relation what we make after our blood relations. But soon you both decided to thrive the friendship into love and you started to feel about the person that this is rest half of your life.

As time passed, slowly the things start changing their definition between you both. The matters were not same, the reason because you both or one is not practicing that much to save the same. In most of the cases, the ego is the root cause. Ego destroys relationship as it stops the communication and efforts to save that.

What the Ego is

Ego is nothing but a pile of thoughts that are created internally. The thoughts are your own that can be embraced by an outer environment but can’t be created. This is an inner feel but at the same time when an outer situation irrigates the small seed of ego in you, the root gets stronger. What the person does is just to gather the overall past experience and starts barring everything around that only.

Closing the doors never helps a relationship to breathe and when the doors are closed then the airing gets barred. Now, in the darkness and vacuumed ambiance, ultimately the relationship dies. An ego in relation creates a toxic situation and that further results as a breach of the same.   

A beautiful restart of your love

Ego is a perplexed condition of any relationship whether it is with your partner or with your any loved one. If you want to blossom your relationship anyhow, then you must vanish the ego first. There are many ways that will help you to get a successful relationship, let’s dig out some of those that you must perform in this concern –

•    You may have a bad experience in past but each situation has its own definition. Therefore, you must think and make sure the problems and solutions are not overlapping each other. Put them differently and treat them all individually with great perfection.

•    Your relationship is your own call and then you should not be dominated by anyone else’s thoughts. Everyone has different chapters and papers created by destiny and Almighty. Therefore, you may take suggestions from others but don’t get that much affected from the same, take your own decisions. 

•    Love is an auspicious blessing and you should treat it accordingly. If your partner is not making that much input to rescue the relationship, it doesn’t mean that you can also take your steps back.

A relationship is a brittle rope, where the ego is scissor; don’t execute the same so much that it gets breached. Your few efforts can blow the life in it and make it everlasting. Start efforts by today!

Time Management: A virtue of life

Imagine about sand which is falling down through the clefts of your grasp. Every time you think of holding the same, you are left with empty hands. Let’s compare the same with the time, this leads you to understand the value of that. No matter how hard you are trying to rescue the time, but it runs with the same velocity every time.

A single minute, even a second, will never come back in life. Living every subtle of the time is as necessary as you breathe. This is not as tough as you may think till now, it is just like you need to understand and then explore the value.

Give the time, serve the time

You may have heard about a line that ‘time is a most valuable gift you can give to others’ but did you ever realize the real meaning of this? Many times a person promised to meet you but didn’t come at the same given time. Even if the person gets late by five minutes you start getting frustrated and then you realize the value of time.

When you have postponed so many things to manage one meet, but even that meet starts late. Now, you may realize the same situations where you did the same late. Firstly you need to understand that, punctuality is the virtue of life and it is not that much difficult. Just make sure that if you are giving time to someone then stick to it. This will lead you to achieve the virtue where everyone definitely marks you as a most punctual person.

Be punctual and grab attention

Punctuality is an art where a person successfully attracts the attention of people. Many are often pretending after being late that they do so to get attention. First of all, dust out this superstition and think out of the box. Punctuality is important, not only for you but also for the people who do wait. If a person enters late in a meeting hall, obviously the entire staff will stare at the wacky one. But it doesn’t mean that the person is gaining respectful attention.

The matter is not about catching the time, because no one can. The matter is all about managing the time. This is the world, full of various kinds of people and then every individual has their priorities in lives. Therefore, no hard and fast rule can be drafted to serve them all. But still understanding a few tricks can help you to be a punctual person in life.

How you can learn this auspicious management

There are many books that talk about time management, but before reading them you need to understand a few things. You should follow the evergreen dignified rules of time management, but don’t stick to one. The importance of time management can’t be summarized in a few words, but it may refer as a tool of living life in a respectful manner.

•    Don’t commit anything in advance. If you are having full confidences about something then only give your time to someone.

•    A clear deny is better than to make someone wait.

•    Try to make a layout of all works that are needed to be done, and then recreate the same on the priority basis.

•    Never rush on the tasks on their volume basis, define the time slot to live every moment at it full.

A disciplined person always gets respected by the society and when it comes about the time management, the punctuality embraces the discipline. The life is run-race these days and then every slot of time should be assigned with the most suitable one. This management art is adaptive in nature and will coerce the others to get influenced by you.

   

   

Practicing Apathy and Denouncing A Judgmental Attitude

Life is sometimes best described as an absolute roller coaster. It sometimes reaches the highest of highs and sometimes, takes us to the lowest of lows. Neither is an unchanging state of happiness favored nor should it be desired for it is through suffering and struggle that we learn the greatest lessons of life. These are the same lessons that take us forward when we look back at all the tough times we have passed and smile, feel proud at our fortitude, and move on. This is to say that is best that you don't judge people by one season. Be it positive or negative, failure or success, happiness or sadness, one season or a phase in a person's life is much like reading one page in a book and judging it to be either brilliant or bad.

Our time in this world is limited; it is marked and accounted for at every breath we take. It is on us to make the best of it for as everyone says, time never stops for anyone. The forward motion of time compels us to keep moving forward no matter what we experience. Even though time is universal, it is also highly subjective. Time changes for everyone and brings forth a new set of perspective, outlook, and eventually, a whole new self. Science has proved evolution of man and we have all seen pieces of evidence of that. It is the evolution of our individual selves that often goes unnoticed by most people and sometimes even by our own selves. Do we tend to judge people on the based on generic metrics even though we know that every person is distinct in their own characters? If yes, what defines this metric and who decided it?

Let us explain this with the help of a simple example. You know how everyone always says that we should be judging a book by its cover'? That is because a single sheet of graphic, painting, text, or design cannot encapsulate all that the book holds. The quick judgement we make of that book, terming it as 'good' or 'bad' is no more than a judgement when it should have been an informed opinion. This also applies to people. When we meet a person at a certain period of time they may be going through a great phase in life or a pathetically low one. Whatever it may be, it is still a phase and as we know, phases of life come and go. Hence, it is not only wrong but also morally wrong to judge a person instead of forming an informed opinion about them.

But, what happens when we misjudge people? Do we hurt them? Yes, we do. Not only do we hurt their emotions but, depending on where they are in that present phase in life, hurt their confidence and self-esteem. We as humans have the power of both cruelty and apathy. It is up to us whether we wish to wield the former of the latter. Cruelty here does not imply physical cruelty but moral cruelty that e have so un-apologetically adopted in the present day when what we really need is apathy. Apathy brings us closer to people and prevents us from forming judgments of a person based on just one season of their life.

In order to practice apathy, you can practice a simple habit. This can be explained with the example of a regular activity such as buying a book. Next time you go to a bookstore, make sure you buy the book not based on the judgement you arrive at looking at the cover, but by actually taking a peek into it and investing the time to read a little about the story it has to tell.
