Stand up and keep walking.....

Okay so there I was sitting with a cup of Milo in front of the TV watching a movie thinking about absolutely nothing. The main character was such a 'nice' guy and for some reason it just seemed that everybody treated him badly.....that life was dealing him a bad hand.

Memories of my life then started flashing through my mind in which I related to what he was going through.....and then I started feeling really sorry for him, just as I felt sorry for myself. Could it be? How did I ignore this for so long.....decieving myself? I felt sorry for myself!!!!!

This is not good.....this is not good at all!!!!

Why, because sorrow is the very thing that keeps you from moving forward in life. And sorrow makes you believe that you are not worth it!!

I almost got angry at....no I did get angry with the guy in the movie!!!! Stop feeling sorry for yourself dude! Do not accept being treated with no respect!! Get up man...just stand up for what you are worth!! You are not getting knocked down by life and other people....you are allowing yourself to be knocked down and eventually you even expect it and start looking for reasons to prove it to yourself.

It all comes down to RESPECT. 

Respect is a huge word. Respect encaptulates everything in life.....every choice we make.....every action we take......every attitude we carry......every word we utter!

If you don't love someone with respect, then you don't love that person.
If you don't display friendship with respect, then you are not a friend to that person.
If you do not respect yourself, then you are not able to be yourself.

And NOTHING justifies you treating anyone without respect. The moment you have to explain or convince or justify your action of disrespect......then you are fooling yourself and the other person.

For some reason we have lost the true meaning and intensity of the word respect. Like you can treat people without it when it suits you and then still expect to be 'respected' yourself. Hahahahahaa, seriously....stop kidding yourself!!!! You will eventually find yourself alone, this I can promise you.

Listen to me carefully now......stand up, open your eyes to the truth and keep walking! 


You are worth being loved with respect, being treated with respect!!

DO NOT accept anything less and do not treat people with anything less. Why? Because you are worth it!!!! And this, being worth it, is the one thing that you do not have to convince anyone of! Turning your back when treated with disrespect you do not have to explain or justify to no one!

You are worth it!!!!

So stand up, respect yourself and keep walking. We all want to finish well, so then start living well and surround yourself with people who treat you well.
