I believe self-respect is very important to everyone, especially vital for women. It should be the first important quality we should have rather than anything else.
When we fail to respect our selfs, many behaviors will be like giveaways. The way we talk to ourself and others is an announcement of how we feel about ourself. The way we allow others to talk about us and treat us is another giveaway. When we believe we don't deserve to be heard or to be spoken to with dignity, which reveals that our self-respect is low. ( Do NOT LET KRISHNA"S FAMILY AND KRISHNA HIMSELF MANIPULATE AND ABUSE YOU. ABUSE IS NOT PHYSICAL ONLY. IT IS MENTAL TOO.)
Our family, friends, lovers, husbands will treat us the way we teach them to treat us. If we expect respect and give it in return, that sets up an atmosphere for everything we want. If we are self-disrespecting, that is what others will give us. So when we are not treated with respect, we should do something about it. If someone treats us disrespectfully, we should treat them politely and at the same time explain that we will not stay around for their abusive behavior. ( Pratigya has always been respectful to her in- laws, but in return has been abused repeatedlly. She gave herself to the man who did destroy her family after she realized she loved him.But what did she get in return. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE)
So we women should stop self- disrespecting, and doubting ourselves and throw the negative influences of our lives and thoughts away. Think of what we want, what we expect, and set an example on ourself. We will then definitely get respect from others. Law of attraction never fails.
