Respect your Divinity. Respect your humanity. Respect your body. Respect your mind. Respect your emotions. Respect your multidimensionality. Respect your history. Respect your future.

Respect others. Respect the God self in every being. Respect their individual right to choose what and how they manifest.

Respect your own right to manifest your life. Respect your right to absolutely and completely choose environments which are nourishing to you and to avoid people and energies which do not nourish you.

Respect yourself. Respect your children. Respect your lover. Respect your friends.

Honor. Show consideration. That does not mean you must agree with another's choices or allow them to impose their own choices upon you, for that would be disrespectful to them and yourself. Honor each being's divine right to choose. And honor Your right to choose.

People fight and push to receive respect from other people and animals. But one cannot receive respect by disrespecting another. Respect is a gift you give yourself. And in so doing, you discover, magically that you are also more respectful of others. And magically, again, that respect is reflected back from others because it is what you are giving. The irony is that respect comes from others when you no longer desire it.

If you are feeling disrespected, look at your relationship with your self. Are you a person worthy of respect in your own eyes? Does your behaviour engender respect? Do you treat yourself with honor and consideration? Are you respectable in your own eyes?

Become the person you would like to be.
