RESPECT YOURSELF You can’t force people to respect and like you. You also can’t obligate them to see you for who you truly are. But you certainly can refuse to tolerate their disrespect by distancing yourself from those who make you feel less. You know, not everyone is going to see your goodness and light in this life no matter how bright you shine. Some people will only choose to look at your flaws, while others will actually see your greatness and feel threatened by it because it will expose their darkness and trigger them to reflect on their vulnerabilities, weaknesses and insecurities. My friend, let people feel whichever way they choose to feel about you. But don’t let anyone treat you the way you know you’d never treat them. Choose self love and respect over anything and anyone. Don’t give anyone the power to make you feel less about yourself. Prioritize and protect yourself from negativity. Again, it’s not ego, it’s self love.
