Perhaps the greatest mistake so often made, which causes a loss of self – respect is making the opinion of others so readily. The origins of self-respect originate within the very word – that of self. This self originated within the universe that intended you to be here. Just imagine from an infinite formless state of being of molecules and physical substance. Certainly, we all are a form of sorts. Just think about it from formless to form. Hence, if you fail to respect yourself, you’re showing contempt within the process of creation.
By no means allowing your self-respect to be undermined as then your replacing your own self-respect on the wayside and seeking the respect by way of others. I find so often that self-respect is mistaken for arrogance. For thy self is anything but arrogance, it’s your own life and your own way. Within the cycle of life, one shall find a time in which they are trying to reconnect within life. Yet, the connection I know is within my own self. Low energy renders low energy. High frequency renders high energy.
Light eliminates darkness, love dissipates hate. As a wise older friend of mine once put it, “When the time occurred that I was able to resist the temptation to judge others, I could see them as teachers of forgiveness in my life. This took a very long time yet once I was able, then I was at peace.” Obviously, she had gone through a period of hard times in which we all do. However, at a certain time she was able to obtain a higher energy. That does not go without some form of faith as well.
The approach of how we obtain self-respect is within how we merge with others; our encounters are like cumulus clouds that flow side by side. It’s a silent blessing of forgiveness as well as the virtue within that reconnect. As well, obtaining of other areas, those virtues within life. In which we all walk upwards within our virtues of what bring the meaning within our lives - all within our very own ways. Yet, it starts within self. For you’re within the clear and the pathway of abilities, peace, and enjoyment are all encompassed within that realm or field of intention of life.

May your own inner compass be that of fluidity and peace which renders more than otherwise.
Wishing you inner peace always.
ReplyDeleteSplendid sky.
ReplyDeletePracticing non-judgment, not easy, but so necessary.
I am a work in progress, If I am around negative people , I feel myself slipping a bit. The difference between opinion and judgement is a fine line.
ReplyDeleteYep, self-respects begins with us. For we can't render respect to others if we can't give it unto ourselves. And so we say ... Love begets love, Respect begets respect.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully expressed ...
And so i say, Peace, Love and Harmony to us all. tight hugs there :)
... please. It was such a lovely blue skies Jack and that cotton-willow clouds forming is so amazingly magical! love it.
ReplyDeletehealing begins when we leave the "victim" behind and welcome the "survivor"----enlightenment begins when first we recognize our self.....................
ReplyDeleteAnd may the peace be with you Mel...
ReplyDeleteDJ, I was always into this style of writing for the longest and it might not be that easy but perhaps we live within an element of luxury. Today was holiday here and very cold to say the least but I believe it's a necessity. By the way you are very much in this element of thought I know from yesterday when I could see your video and that to me is abundance. Remember when we were children we would lay on the ground and just look up and see different images.
ReplyDeleteYour an affirmative one and as a friend if I may add a decent person. We all slip, Tee I have slipped so many times but I believe the significance is on how we process things. What is understood need not be discussed and there is that fine line. But there are people such as what I would assume in ways that we are both alike as I remember some very decent thoughts which were valid. Validity don't mind me Tee as I knows ya in a speaking manner. Go figure and we are different yet we are alike. Hmmm - hard to describe within writing, but have always thought of you much like an aunt. (Mean it).
ReplyDeleteSelf is the beginning Maritess. We came into this world much like a miracle. From no matter to some matter. Now that is something within its own self. Light elliminates darkness. This term one is never alone. The manner of which this english saying was derived was by way of a writer that wrote much on life and ~ Self ~.
ReplyDeleteI went outside and saw those cumoulous clouds and then began to write.
ReplyDeleteIf one feels that they are a victim, they arent the basis of it due to how they precieve ~ Self ~ :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice thoughts. Thank you Jack!
ReplyDeleteYour most welcome...
ReplyDeleteI think virtues are very important and there are so many of them. I looked it up online once and was amazed.
