Do you respect yourself enough to demand that your peers respect you too? Please answer that question with a resounding YES!
Why? Because if you don't respect yourself, other people may find it easy to take advantage of you.
Think about it like this: the more you respect yourself, the more likely you are to make smart decisions, and the smarter decisions you make, the more you'll respect yourself-it's a cycle of good decisions making that reinforces a well-deserved, positive self-image.
But what if you find that your self-image could use a tune up? Well try these five simple steps:
1) Don't do things that you know to be immoral, imprudent, or impulsive.
2) Make the conscious effort to invest yourself in activities that improve your own life and the lives of others.
3) If you're beset by negative self-talk, put an immediate stop to the mindless ramblings of your inner critic.
4) Associate yourself with people who encourage you to think and behave in ways that are pleasing to God.
5) Ask your Heavenly Father to guide your path and direct your thoughts.
When you take these simple steps, you'll respect yourself more, and you'll demand the same kind of respect from people.

Here is a simple rule-of-thumb for behavior: Ask yourself what you want people to do for you, then grab the initiative and do it for them. Add up God's Law and Prophets and this is what you get. Matthew 7:12 (MSG)

Amen! Thank God that you shared this message. I admit, I'm one of the many who struggles with really low-self esteem, lack of confidence, and (based on what others have told me) "being too hard on myself". But I'm praying and I've already felt the hand of God at work in my life, and I know that if I follow this advice and trust in Him above all, then that struggle will be kicked out of the door for good
