self-respect

I read now on the advice of my blog friend Peter de Kock's book 'Rising strong' by Brené Brown and read about self-esteem and find it so interesting that I want to share.

I translate it from English.

"Character is the willingness to accept responsibility for your own life and it is also the source from which self-respect springs' – Joan Didion

Brené schrijft: 'Self-justification is a huge threat to self-esteem'. She also says: "I see now that teach people how to treat us based on how they perceive how we treat ourselves'. That's the same thing I learned in management training which is that others and your surroundings are the mirror of yourself!!’

If we respect ourselves, it is usually the case that we have respect for the other. If the other person has no self-respect, he has usually not for us, accuse him or her not only have compassion, it's bad enough

As long as you uitverdedigt your flaws and mistakes comes at the expense of yourself. Rumi zei: "Who does not recognize his flaws is his own enemy" and so it is.

When self-esteem you feel no more nor less than the other, you have serenity and do not determine your value by praise or blame. The angel Cassiel is about serenity you can ask him for more serenity and that automatically leads to greater self-esteem and self-respect, success with it

    Beste Henny,

    I think it's a nice gesture to other people to start a blog at all. In this way you give your fellow human beings the opportunity to enjoy your insights or to examine them for truthfulness. This from the position: onderzoek en behoudt het goede! I suppose a crucial aspect of self-esteem is / includes love towards creation. Love wants to multiply. Dus je gunt ook de ander liefdevol het licht in de de ogen. Accept the other, in employment capacity, zie ik als een vorm van respect naar de ander, die het goede in de ander naar boven brengt, hetgeen aan de schepping ten goede komt.

    Met respect,

    Leon

    Beste Henny,

    Zojuist bedacht ik een aforisme, dat ik je niet wil onthouden: Survive , is often not about life. Dit gaat op de eerste plaats op, omdat het echte leven gelieerd is aan liefdevol bewust-zijn en niet gelieerd is aan angst!

    Alle succes toegewenst met jouw blog en bedankt!

    Leon
