Ecotrain : What is self respect and how can we nurture it?
A set of moral values and ethics that a human posses and follow to lead a happy life with pride and dignity is self-respect.
When I came across this question, it reminded me of my life first lesson from my grand father. I only spent very little time with him but he always asked me to maintain the self respect and live the life with full dignity.
It took me quite a time to understand the basic meaning of it but, as i grown I started to take it very seriously. It is a basic requirement one should always to lead a life with head high. By following those set values, it will never happen that anything could embrassed us in front of others. These values will do not let us to loose our character. A character defines a person beahaviour and attitude towards life.
It is alwsys good to compromise only when the other sides understands your feelings. But it is not good to bend enough to loose your happiness.
Nurturing Self respect is not an easy thing either. Some get the importance of Self respect by birth, as a leagacy from their parents. Following their family values amd growing by its side, help to develop self respect within.
However, in case, a human do not have such luxury and in case wanted to develop its own then there are many things that neeeds to take into consideration.
The foremost is to know and identify about yourself. It is better to know yourself and your limitation to maintain a self respect accordingly.
Do not ever get into competition with others. As said "everything is fair in love and war" while you get into competition there might be a situation were you made to do things which you not intent to do.
Give Respect Take respect. Respecting every human being without any discrimination. The more you show love and care and involve in doinf good deed. The more you feel pride of yourself.
Be positive towards life and stay focus. Take complete responsibility of any act.
Owning a self respect, helps you to make a better individual and better person in the society. A person who will be liked and loved by everyone and everywhere and respected by every other person. This ultimatelly lead you to live a happy life and spread happiness all over.
Stay Calm....
Keep Steeming...Steem On !!!

To respect yourself means to hold it in high regard and honor it. Respect carries reciprocal energy and we should start it from respect our body and soul. That's what I read on a book years ago😊
Good advice @steemflow 😉 we are answerable for our behaviour and fully accept the consequences created by our actions and that's the last thing I learned from my parents before I left home. But.. as you said, not everyone has the same luxurious love from parents or family who taught them about it. That's why we found so many people show their disrespect towards others.
Thanks for sharing @steemflow.. how's the festival ?
Well said. Self-respect is paramount, and can be practiced if it is not already there. I especially liked this distinction:
Hi 'Princess'...
No credit to me..i found it on web...but missed to quote the link...i too found it too pwrfect on the subject. Actually it is overall crux of maintianing a self respect. .....in todays competitive abd greedy world..i hardly see people bother much about it....

YES. Whilst embarrassment is subjective and a reaction driven by ego, I do agree we should always abide by higher values. What a good lesson your grandad taught you!

Amazing. I feel sad my husband and I didn't have a kid to carry on his own grandfather's lineage as he was quite the legend too.
You must have many stories to pass on.

Self respect is cultivated since young in my opinion. Growing up and the examples we witnessed or heard around us plays an important role in cultivating our sense of self-respect.
I love what you have written here. Keep sharing and keep inspiring us :)
Thanks @iamjadeline for a wonderful comment. I refered it in my post. Self respect can only be cultivated when their family posses some. As i mentioned it can be gained as legacy from their parents...i meant the same....
