One of the ways we successfully build self respect is to acknowledge the steps we are taking in life. When we become the victims of perfectionistic expectations, we lose self esteem. Since perfection is not possible, we stop feeding our own well being by ignoring the actions we take every day and refusing to give ourselves credit for our own life’s work. Make today the day you see and appreciate yourself and the steps you are taking to build a good life. This will bring you the strength and wisdom you need to increase your abilities through the power of love.
