Happiness is something that we all want. We are able to live peacefully and are able to enjoy life when we are happy. But I think personal self-respect is more of what I want in life. If I am able to have self-respect than I will have the courage to do what I want. Having self-respect leads to confidence which helps people grow in a demanding society. I believe that happiness can come from self-respect. If we are not happy with ourselves and respect ourselves than people are usually miserable and hate their life. Having self-respect can lift a person out of a whole they are in. It can help them renew their lives because they will have the confidence to do so. As a person learns to respect themselves they will learn to respect others.
Happiness will come due to personal satisfaction. If we are able to live confidently in work and personal environments, than we are able to be more happy. Self-respect seems to always be a struggle for people. Many people seem to struggle, give up, and aren't happy with their lives. Self-respect will help eliminate the negatives in a person's life and hopefully help a person with their confidence. As confidence builds in a person they are more able to do things and are more able to live happily.
Personally I have a tremendous amount of self-respect and confidence. My confidence gives me the will to go out and do what I want. I am able to pursue things that I thought I would never be in. My confidence and self-respect has helped me live a happy life so far and I am pretty sure I will be happy for the rest of my life. I hope everyone can live a happy life. If you don't than I hope you can develop or gain some self-respect and go out and change your life. We all deserve a chance to be happy but we have to be happy with ourselves before we are happy with the world and our surroundings.
I agree that having a good self-respect for oneself is important and a person can build from that to grow as a person. Like you mentioned above having self-respect can help boost confidence in a person. Confidence can help a person achieve goals they thought that they could never have accomplished. In the end that makes a person happy and satisfied.
ReplyDeleteI think it is great that you have great self-respect and confidence. Not many people have mastered to do so. I also feel that I am happy with the person I am and it has made life easier to live. I encourage people to learn who they are and what they want to do in life so they may enjoy life as well. It is sad to see and be around people with poor self-respect and happiness. It is like a disease, and the people that struggle with this will need to help themselves and practice loving who they are and if they do not like who they are then they can easily change. The one thing we can all do is learn, learn to better ourselves and make a change to live happy lives. I hope all people can feel the joy we do.
I agree with you when you say that having the quality of self respect will help you to get exactly what you want. I believe self respect if the first step into anything positive in life. Once you have accomplished to respect yourself, you are on to bigger and greater things that will better yourself. It is an improvement to your mental and social stage and will remain with you for the rest of your life. To be able to treat others with the respect that they deserve, you will first have to have it in yourself. Happiness is the goal you are trying to get to in life. Self respect as well as other things in life are important things that you will need to get to this goal. Confidence is something you obtain after you have self respect. This aspect in life is very important because it separates you from other individuals along with your personality. When you have confidence, it only takes you closer to the goal you have in life and what you want to accomplish. For happiness to be reached many things must be accomplished on the way, self-respect, respect for others, confidence, your own personality, and much more, the best thing about this all is that this is very possible.

ReplyDeleteI think we are on the same page when it comes to the fact that we both think that happiness will come out of self-respect eventually. I like how you talk about all the positives with self respect, it is possible to achieve happiness through self respect, but self aspect doesn’t necessary come with happiness. I agree with the fact that people usually give up when they don’t get self respect right away. They I’ve up and that leads to them being mad in life or struggling, but I guess you just have to put up a fight because in the end you will not only get self respect, you will be happy! I have self respect, but at the same time I wish I would choose happiness over self respect, I fall under the category of people that want to just be happy and not have self respect. Then again, you can be happy and not have self respect. What if self respect isn’t what someone wants? I never really thought about that, it all depends on different people.
I agree with your statement about people not being able to be truly happy if they do not have self respect. People that feel miserable come across as rude and angry all the time. One can’t help but wonder what is affecting their lives so much, is it their actions or self image that makes them angry. Having self respect is the only way one can be truly happy with what ever decision or action one takes with in life. Many people believe that happiness is achieved by expensive items, many purchase these items, not because of the true happiness it brings them, but to have society perceive them a certain way. Yet, is that person truly content with themselves, or they continue to buy expensive things to create and provoke a certain thought. Your blog made me think of emotional relationships we take part in. Certain people may contemplate how “happy” one truly is in a relationship. Even though one maybe miserable within the relationship, do you stay committed for the partner? or do you do what’s best for you,, by respect yourself and staying true to your own feelings and end the relationship?
