Self-pride is your sense of your own value or worth as a person. It is how much you like, accept, approve, and respect yourself. You can recognize yourself as worthy and capable of loving and being loved. Or, your self-pride can be the biggest stumbling block to living the successful, happy life you want to live. Self-pride effects how you act in every situation, what you say and do, and how your feel about yourself. It is a continuous influence on your perception of life.
I didn't write that but I love it. It's so true. You have to know your worth. Do not let another make that decision for you. Why? because then you are cheating yourself. Your robbing yourself of your own self pride. How can you love someone else if you don't how much love to receive in return. I heard this quote before, "The worst feeling is to love someone that doesn't love you"-Forgot the author.
However, that's what you could be doing if you don't know your own worth. This could effect all you action and situations. It will destroy you if you let it. So don't let it! Your self pride doesn't go away. It's instilled in you. Think about it.
Make sure you put quote marks at both ends of the quote..."Self-pride is your sense of your own value or worth as a person. It is how much you like, accept, approve, and respect yourself. You can recognize yourself as worthy and capable of loving and being loved. Or, your self-pride can be the biggest stumbling block to living the successful, happy life you want to live.

ReplyDeleteAnother thought-- How can you respect others if you don't even respect yourself? Think about it. We expect respect from others, but it may never happen if the other person doesn't respect themselves first.
