Hi guys, so we need to have a little chat, okay? We need to have a little chat about self-respect.

The main message I want to get across today is you will never regret having self-respect.

You will never regret having self-respect. But you know what you will regret?

You'll regret not walking away. You'll regret tolerating nonsense. You'll regret allowing

yourself to get played. So let this be the day that you start putting self-respect at the

forefront. Because every decision that you make

day in and day out should be rooted in it and when it's not your life will be flipped upside down

guaranteed what so many people don't realize is that so many of their problems stem from not having self-respect.

And that's not just in terms of one's love life. For example, the kind of person who's always saying,

why does this always happen to me? What did I do to deserve this? Blah, blah, blah. Well, if they went back and did some reflection

and were honest with themselves, I know for a fact that they would say, yeah, if I had more self-respect,

that probably wouldn't have happened. And if I had more self-respect, I wouldn't have dated that person.

And if I had more self-respect, I would't have dated that person. And if I had more self-respect, I would have spoke up for myself.

Like, it goes on and on and on.

Because the bottom line is this.

You cannot have a happy or peaceful life without it.

Period.

That would be the equivalent of, say, getting in the shower, not turning on the tap, and not using any soap.
