Respect is action. We demonstrate our respect for others by giving them authentic positive attention, listening with positive attention, acknowledging them as fellow human beings, and providing appropriate recognition.
You respect others when you recognize and sincerely acknowledge their humanity, worth, and significance. Each of us deserves respect simply because of our humanity.
Although genuinely respecting yourself is sometimes more difficult than respecting others, we all deserve to respect ourselves. We each deserve to acknowledge our own dignity.
Recognizing our own intrinsic worth frees us from the expectations and judgments of others. It is a source of deep inner peace, strength, and autonomy.
Self-respect begins at birth and is sustained and increased by living an authentic and honorable life.
