“I think the reward for conformity is that everyone likes you except yourself.”
― Rita Mae Brown
Are you comfortable naturally accepting and respecting yourself for who you are? Or, are you one of those who, inadvertently subscribing to conformity, are being tricked into disrespecting yourself as you do things to BE the REAL you? Individuality is not taught in public school. Being your authentic self takes self-love and self-respect. And, it takes courage.
It is your Divine nature to BE your authentic self. Being your authentic self means you focus and concentrate on using your intuition to BE what your Divine Intuition prompts you to be. This guidance comes in the form of thinking for yourself instead of conforming with the masses.
What are the influences around you guiding you to think and do? Do you regularly question the validity of conforming to doing worldly things that are actually causing you to give up more of your natural freedom? Do you have so many financial obligations that you are living from paycheck to paycheck instead of saving for the future? If you answered yes to these questions, you may unknowingly disrespecting yourself.
One of the things the Divine Spirit of Love guides you to consciously believe in is respecting yourself as you do the things you do during life. Outside of your conscious awareness, you may behave in ways that are self-limiting or self-sabotaging. But, when you BECOME the consciousness of a Divine Consciousness, Eternal thoughtform by listening to your intuition, you naturally live in Infinite Affluence.
As someone more interested in developing Soul Skills, you think and ACT differently than your dual, human counterpart. In the human world, people focus on accumulating worldly objects. This can keep you enslaved to unhappiness. But, when you regularly meditate on finding ways to live in Love, Generosity and Well Being, THAT is the path that leads you to natural and consistent self-respect.
Some people grew up respecting themselves. How did that happen? Their caregivers, whether they were their parents or someone else, intuitively modeled it to them. How did those caregivers do it? It was modeled to them by their caregivers and so on and so on through their life paths.
If you grew up in a disrespectful home environment, nothing stops you from developing the skill of self-respect. I encourage you to start asking yourself what you can do differently to respect yourself and others more than you currently do.
Asking this simple question and doing something about developing self-respect can result in you improving your life quality. Would you find your life to be more valuable if you enjoyed life more? And there is no financial cost to you asking this question of yourself. There is just you spending time with you to find ways to improve what may already be good but can simply become better.
This important skill helps build your confidence. Respecting yourself in all you do may help you become a thought leader. People who share thoughts and guide others to live in Infinite Affluence while on earth promote self-reliance. Just as Jesus taught people “how to fish” instead of simply promote membership in a co-dependent welfare system, when you respect yourself YOU promote self-reliance.
When you respect yourself, your children, friends, co-workers, acquaintances (yes, everybody in your sphere of influence) consciously and subconsciously watch you. If they model your example of self-respect, they can take the seeds of feeling good about themselves and nurture them. This helps them also develop the skill of feeling genuine inner peace. When we feel genuine peace, it is a Divine gift that helps us stay well.
Self-respect helps propel us into life excellence. When you genuinely care about others, and respect those with whom you come into contact, you coach them to do the same for themselves. Promoting self-respect, discredits bullying. People who bully, insecurely struggle and disrespect themselves. Why? Because they have been taught, and perpetuate the mindset, that they are of little personal value.
When you condition yourself to believe you are of little personal value, you cause energetic balances within that can lead to disease, disorder and disharmony. For this reason and all the others I’ve just shared, treating yourself and others with respect promotes peace and love in the world.
What can you do if you currently think little of yourself and know you have a low self-esteem? Find the source of that mental conditioning. For mental conditioning all begins with thought. And you can CHANGE your thoughts into difference ones.
Is this mental conditioning from TV programs? It is from reading porn magazines? Is it from the model people you associate with offer you to believe as beneficial?
Find the “training” source(s) of the disrespectful feelings you feel about yourself. Commit to making changes to improve the quality of your life. When you respect yourself, you become a little bit of heaven on earth by listening to the Inspired Divine Spirit within you.
Turn off the TV. Stop reading porn magazines. Stop listening to violent, controversial radio broadcasts. Stop talking about how nothing can be done to improve the world in which we live. Respect yourself and others. BE the change in the world you want to see by respecting yourself and open doors of opportunity for yourself today.
