Respect Yourself
This is one that comes out of some of the chapters in my life, I am just sharing some bits I have learned along the way. At one point or another I think we all doubt ourselves and wonder if we should have kept on going when we stopped, not done something when we did or conversely, done something when we did not. Then comes the self questioning and we begin to run ourselves down faces pushed into the dirt by the likes of our own hand. I have learned that this self destruction is good for nothing. In fact it is bad for something, and that something is you.
When we turn the finger on ourselves, what we are starting is a train wreck of problems. And no, I am not implying that accountability is a bad thing, in fact it is one of the core pieces of our character. What I am saying is that when we turn the finger on ourselves and attack who we are, nothing is going to get better. Knowing that this may sound like ridiculous optimism, we must always find ways to keep on keeping on despite anything that happens as a result of an action we take. So, for those rolling about in confusion let me provide an example.
You are training to be able to run a sub 6 minute mile. After 3 months you are stuck at 6:15. Weeks pass and you simply cannot get your time any lower.
