“People will respect you when you respect your Self.”
-Breanna Rae Blaney
Bre dropped this in my Integrated Wealth Advisor class today, and it hit hard.
I haven’t had a chance to sit with it further to fully examine why it hit so hard, but I think it’s because there are some minor things I’ve been letting slide or not prioritizing that show disrespect to my Self.
The funny thing is a couple of these things were on my mind and heart as I was working on creating my own Integrated Wealth Plan—specifically, my meditation practice and giving up control of my calendar to others.
I would say a few months ago I wasn’t fully respecting my physical body, but I’ve since realigned my yoga, weights, and nutrition—and I can see and feel not only the physical transformation, but the increased self-respect.
Why do I care if people respect me?
Well, first I’m a human and despite not wanting to care what people think, I do want to live a life that leads to earning people’s respect.
But, more importantly, if I’m going to fulfill my purpose of leading the revolution of the Authentic Life, I will need the respect of those who look to me as a guide through these Daily Notes, the AlignedLife podcast, the AlignedLife blog, the AlignedLife Community, or anything else I create.
By respecting my Self and maintaining prioritizing the alignment of my spirit, mind, body, money, and creativity, the respect will be reciprocated by those aligned with me.
Respect your Self, first for your Self—you deserve it.
Respect your Self, secondly, for respect from others—especially if you find your Self in a position of leadership, influence, or guidance.
This was the message I needed to hear today to stop thinking about dialing up the discipline and to do it.
See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,
JC
