Respect for self, Respect for others, and responsibility for you actions

With will and intellect we control our actions.  Meaning everything we do, no matter how big or small, starts within. There is a saying that before you love others you should learn to love yourself first. Taking care of yourself first is not a selfish act; you cannot serve from an empty cup. How you respect yourself is also how you should respect others. Which means if you cannot love yourself don’t expect to find the love that is missing within you in other people.

Everyone you meet is an essential part of your life. They will fill in something within you that are empty for a long period of time and is to be filled by the moment you meet them. It is important to respect them no matter how good or bad they treated you. Since not everyone will come to you as a blessing, some will come as the greatest lessons in your life that you will never forget. Nevertheless, respect them anyway, because if you don’t treat them nicely you will be held responsible for your actions that may ruin your relationship not only with that person but everyone around you.

            In the end one must have self respect to have the ability to respect others. Respecting everyone is a good habit because why not? There is no risk for respecting everyone even the rudest people around you. Everyone will be held responsible for their actions and if you treat everyone with respect including yourself you will do just fine
