RESPECT YOURSELF / Earn Your Own

Earn Your Own
On your Earth plane respect is defined as a feeling or understanding that someone or something is important, serious, etc., and should be treated in an appropriate way.
Some of you may not fully understand this because no one in your life has demonstrated, pursued it or, perhaps, you have seen it and believe it unattainable for yourself.  Remember, my dearest child, it starts within.  If you show respect to yourself, you will begin to see qualities in others that deserve it in kind.  Earn your own respect and others will begin to show you the respect you feel you deserve. ~ Creator

We were always taught the Golden Rule of "Do unto others as we would have done unto ourselves", but we were never taught the step that precedes that one, of loving & respecting ourselves the way God loves us with perfect divine love- that love is unconditional & only sees the very best of us & for us. Whatever aspects of that love that are incomplete or missing are merely ego & blockages we've yet to release, but we will.
We must love ourselves to recognize the love in another - To be aware of the love that is there - first we must be aware or notice the love & good that we are. That recognition of love attracts more love & the snowball effect can begin. As we focus on anything with love we cause it to grow & grow & grow.
As it grows within us it will be mirrored back to us more & more in what is around us as a reflection of what is within.
