Self Respect Clarity

Posted by MJ on Nov 30, 2011 in Inner Rockstar | 0 comments

In order to make people happy I have compromised. I have agreed with things because it would make someone else happy or at least not mad. Even if this meant I didn’t enjoy it, I could tolerate it because the other person was more important than me.

The problem is that often they did not become happy because of my sacrifice. So this was a pointless sacrifice to martyr myself. That wasn’t my intent, but that allowed people to bulldoze over me, and disregard my feelings and view… or did it?

What I killed was my self-respect, because “we should love our neighbors as ourselves” cause the Bible says to. But I didn’t love myself, I did it to make others love me and so they didn’t, and I didn’t really love them.

Think about that wording… “as ourselves” so if you treat yourself bad, and hate yourself what about those poor neighbors. You can’t love them any better than yourself so stop trying to martyr yourself…

12 Current Things about Me

Sadly I’ve been upset the past week or so, things have gotten to where they were going really cool, I was really excited about changes in life.  I was so excited that I forgot the blog post to share was going to cover Marky Mark Walberg… and how his name changed and how your life changes and how we go through all this stuff, and I forgot.

Then another article was going to cover just do it anyway, at which point I got slapped in the face with fish …  –>

So here are some things that are on my mind, and maybe by dumping these off my shoulders it will cheer me up and maybe you can understand this corner of Loco and Logical.

One Truth, Say It With Love

Love vs hate

I have discussed before that my family dealt very heavily in hatred. While my parents made a choice to change, it is still there. But hatred is something that is everywhere. Look around, how many people are ready to tell you gossip, petty stories, be catty, or even downright mean.

That may not come from hatred, but it does not come from love.

See you can hate me for what I say here. You can hate Bill Gates for being rich. You can hate your boss or your co-workers. Perhaps you back up and say “I don’t hate them” while talking bad about them and dismissing everything they do. You stand there and judge them on all they say and all they do, but you are only hurting yourself….

The way to change is by accepting love. Justin Hayward said it best in the Lyrics to “Say it With Love” for The Moody Blues.

And with just one truth I’ve found, You can’t go wrong
Wherever you go, Whatever you do
Whatever you say, Say, say, say
Say it with love.

If you stop coming from any other point of view other than love….
