RESPECT


Have you ever been in a situation where someone questions your beliefs, passion and dreams? Every time you try to speak and interact, the reciprocal action of the people around you is hate. What would it feel if you are doing your very best yet no one understands and appreciate your efforts. Do you feel respected when people are judging your every move and action without them knowing your real struggle, without them knowing the real you.
Respect. It is such a big word, easy to say. But it is hard to do for some. In our society today where social media dominates us the word respect is just an ordinary thing that some people ignore it.
Most people go through life and always hear about the word respect, but they don’t know what it means. Respect is the esteem for or a sense of the worth or excellence of a person. There are things in life you need to hold in respect. Respect for yourself, respect for others, and respect for property. Respect is taught to people everywhere and it is even taught to them in their religions. Respect is the very aspect that keeps everything in your life.
Respect for yourself is very important to a person because it can be the balancing factor of your life. Your actions mostly earn you respect, but it is always important to remember that it is a two-way street. It is considered ethical behavior, but in this day and age, people are becoming more evil and selfish. When you respect a person, then the person also respects you. For example in social media everytime something went viral you can see the comment it is mostly harsh and below the belt so where is the respect in that? We say something negative towards others as if we're perfect and good. We should not degrade other people just because it gives us satisfaction.
We tend to judge things we could not understand or fear. It became our natural behavior and reaction towards things. When a new ideal arises, some will react to it negatively and some will embrace it. Those who embrace the new ideal will be judged by those who oppose. That is when the lack of respect comes in. When disagreements comes in the eay of two people they tend to lose respect towards each other. When two different ideas collide, two people fight and then respect is lost totally.


In other words, in order to respect and be respected we should always open our minds to the possibility of change. We need to be empathetic and sympathetic at the same time. Before judging a person we should always think of their struggles and how hard they try to overcome those. Let us put ourselves in each others shoes and feel each others forceful effort to win in life's everyday challenges. Let us offer each other the respect we all deserve. As a human being that's the least we can give to someone. Everybody deserves respect regardless of their gender, age, race or their beliefs

MISCOMMUNICATION

What is Miscommunication?  A failure to understand or as the word itself to properly communicate each other's perception and ideas. Today, I experienced that kind of conflict such as creating issues that are not necessarily need to consider as much ado about nothing. Big deal rather. For many of us, the biggest barrier to having high-quality conversations is that we’re afraid to share what we’re really thinking and feeling. We chicken out and don’t step up to the plate when the opportunity is on the table to voice our concerns. Being real is scary, but it’s the unreal conversations that should scare us, because they’re incredibly expensive. According to Dale Carnegie author of “How to make friends and Influence people” The purpose of communication is to convey information from one person to another. Through the choice of written and spoken words, ideas, concepts, emotions, thoughts, and opinions are exchanged. Unfortunately, miscommunication is common –

DON'T SETTLE FOR LESS 102

Image
People settle for mediocrity in many aspects of their lives on a daily basis. We accept jobs we hate, we deal with friends who let us down and we let our significant others get away with stupid things. Why do people choose to be complacent instead of moving where there are better opportunities? “It's easier sometimes to be stuck in a familiar rut or habit, albeit a depressing one, than to look outside the habit and have a life that is more desirable.” -anonymous People are terrified of change, failure and taking risks. This is one of the main reasons people settle in life. It’s not about unrealistic goals or perfection. It is about changing the things you can to be happy, not simply drifting along in life and complaining. It is far easier to settle than it is to leave our comfort zone. I’ve made mistakes in my life. I’ve let people take advantage of me and I’ve accepted way less than I deserve. But, I’ve learned from my bad choices and even though there are some things I c

INSECURITIES IS LIFE

Not feeling good enough has been an issue with me since i was a kid, and i fimd the older i get, the harder it becomes to deal with these things. Being a woman, we're naturally born to be more sensitive, to have those extra insecurities, and feel every word sometimes deeper than they were intended. When i was a child up until now, i have lots of insecurities be it in the face, talents, knowledge and of course, having a complete family. That's really my weakest part in my self. I cried because i couldn't have what others has. Maybe because i was a child back then? But why is it up until now i am crying for the same reason over and over again?  When you have feelings of insecurity, you doubt yourself and your abilities to cope with a problem or situation, or you fear a negative outcome. Insecurity is really the feelings that result from low self confidence.  So what can you do then if you feel insecure? I think that addressing the problem is very important as insecur
