Self Respect ❤️🤞🏽

 A positive self-image requires a strong foundation that won’t shake or fall under pressure. To that end, self-respect and self-esteem are often mentioned as a good place to start. However, while these two concepts are often considered one and the same, there are some significant differences that show how one may be more useful than the other.

These two concepts do have a lot of things in common, and could be said to be closely tied together. However, the places in which they differ can have a huge impact on a person’s self-image.

Let’s start by looking at the definitions of “respect” 

 respect is:

1. A feeling of admiring someone or something that is good, valuable, important, etc.
2. A feeling or understanding that someone or something is important, serious, etc., and should be treated in an appropriate way
3. A particular way of thinking about or looking at something

Self-respect, then, starts with the notion that you are good, valuable, and have something important to share.
