"I will give myself self-respect."

I don't know what exactly has caused many people to avoid giving themselves self-respect. Maybe it's fear, fear of being judged and claimed boastful or cocky. Whatever the reason, we are selling ourselves short by doing that, it's highly dangerous! The dangerous part is the fear that will inhibit any potential from being released.

I recommend listing all the points - all of those missed amazing aspects of you - and bringing them into light. Once we start to get an idea of our value - not enough or maybe a nice amount (doesn't matter, what matters is what you 'objectively' think of yourself) - we can take conscious responsibility of our actions. To be able to know your worth? That would be nice.

Amazing.
