How many times have we demanded or felt like we needed respect from the people that we encounter? Yet, we are sometimes hesitant to share that same to others.

Unfortunately we tend to show respect to those that don’t value us or our worth. We can be very disrespectful to the people that matter the most in our lives.

The biggest lessons of respect, is to find the value of everyone around me even when they weren’t nice.

Not because I am afraid of confrontation or because I wanted others to think well of me.

I show respect to those who can be the meanest because I can proudly walk away with peace in my heart. I have walked away keeping my spirit clean.

How many times have you disagreed with your significant other and felt compelled to share your feelings and thoughts. Even though you hurt his/her feelings, but hold your tongue when it’s a friend, co-worker, boss, neighbor, etc.

All because you don’t want to hurt their feelings?

 What’s the difference between them and your spouse? Or what’s the difference between the people you try to please and your children?

I myself am guilty of not showing my husband or my children the respect that I expect from them or the respect that I expect them to have towards others.

By giving my children respect I have shown them how good it feels to be respected. And, by respecting my husband, my girls can respect their father as well.

The way we treat our children will depend on how they are respected and how they will treat others in the long run.

Also, by respecting my eternal husband, we can experience an amazing marriage. By being respectful we can teach more than just our children…plus as a bonus you reap what you sow.
