Lack of Self Respect

To say we are not enough or that we will never be enough is the greatest disservice one can ever put upon themselves.

How do we allow our inner peace to be broken and the integrity of the self to be eroded?

It’s hard to admit but we have a lack of respect for ourselves.

More often than we would care to admit, we have such urgency to meet the needs of others at the cost of our own.

To withhold our freedom of self expression for the desire to be accepted by the external world and the compromise to our soul.

To confine ourselves to self loathing rather than to embrace our condition.

In this life, the only person capable of truly representing and fulfilling your needs and values is you.

If you’re not capable of upholding boundaries or defending your peace, then who else will.

Instead we tear ourselves down. We look to self attack rather than to accept.

Have the decency to choose you. Have the courage to be on your team for once.
