Why self respect is so important

a lot of the issues that we have in our world today and in our own lives is because there's a lack of respect there's a lack of respect for people there's a lack of respect for yourself there's a lack of respect for space and boundaries and the whole nine it's just it's crazy but respect goes a long way you'll get to a point in your life where you realize that respect is the only thing that a person can truly pay you you'll be able to make your own money you'll be able to you know create

your own happiness and joy and respect as well you got to respect respect yourself first it's like you you can't pay me nothing just respect me and I'm not demanding some respect you know in the way that you would have to gravel at my feet but don't disrespect me you know what I'm saying and if I hold other people to that standard I have to hold myself to that standard I have to be my biggest fan I'm not going to sit there and put myself down and say I'mma do something and keep you know lying

to myself not showing up for myself because that is disrespect to yourself and a lot of people do that and they are bitter and when they see people that are on their own Journey that are doing something for themselves they they try to shun them for it you know what I'm saying people will literally argue you down people will literally give you hate for no reason you'll be out here trying to help people out here living your best life having fun and people will hate on you just because they don't respect themselves and then by

doing that it's an even bigger display of self-respect disrespect like I'm not going to sit here and type out my entire emotions under somebody's post or DM somebody hate just because I see them doing something even if I dislike like what they doing I just I can't disrespect myself like that but what made me even want to make this video was something that took place on this trip that I just came back from I went to Rhode Island and I met a great friend and then I took some trips Up To Boston and I went

to New York and met one of my best friends as well um but while I was in Boston me and my brother we were in the van store and you know we was in there we was vlogging we was filming and some saw us you know caught their attention and usually when everybody comes you know not everybody but a lot of people when they approach you and you got a camera they like yo so what you do and it's like this little skeptical Vibe and they're like oh you got a YouTube we'll give you a

little subscriber we'll subscribe to your little YouTube Everything Is little they look down on it it's like a curious nature right but then when they see the numbers it's like the status Goes To The Head And it's like oh okay well you you actually have support you're actually doing well and it's like yeah but I'm not going to sit there and throw that at you right so the dude was like oh do you guys use your platform to um spread the word of Jesus and everything like that and I was like well I speak about

this you know speak about X Y and Z and uh you know that's what I speak about and I was like you're passionate about spreading the word of Jesus why don't you do it yourself like why don't you have your own platform and he was like well I'm a boring dude I'm a lame dude you know what I'm saying I'm this I'm that I was like why would you talk about yourself like that and then his friends is like yeah he is boring he is lame he don't have nothing to talk about and I was

like these your people he was like look he was joking saying like yeah I got to get away from them now they don't never want to see your brother win and all that so I'm like hold on so I go to them I'm like so yo it was a a dude and a and a young lady and I'm like so what you do he was like well I'm mad I'm I can't remember how old it was I think he was 18 I was like my mad I'm 18 and I'm a bum I said what he

said I'm 18 18 and I'm a bomb I said that's how you introduce yourself and he was like yeah I was like all right so what do you do he said all I do is go to work I go to church and then I just be home chilling staying out the way I said so you go to work you make your money you practice a religion you're devoted to a religion you know what I'm saying to a belief system and then you go home and stay out of BS he was like yeah and I was

like that makes you a bum he was like I mean yeah I was like Define bom well I don't know I just don't I just don't live an extravagant life my life is nothing interesting and nothing special I said who told you that bro said Society I swear to the heavens my knees buckled like Society do you see Society right now my friend do you see what's going on and you allow that to create your mindset and then you over here putting somebody down and your mind mind is in shambles I was like bro you

got to work on it I'm not saying throw yourself out there like you Johnny Bravo but bro you don't respect yourself enough to give yourself a proper introduction you could have just say hey I'm 18 my name is Matt you didn't have to do all of that you know what I'm saying like where is your self resect and it's like if you think that about yourself what do other people think about you and how could you expect anybody else to respect you because the way I see myself I'm not some God I'm not some you

know higher being I'm me but nobody in this world could make me change the way I value myself nobody can make me change the opinion that I have about myself you did not build me so you will not break me I know my value nobody's going to take that away from me nobody's going to cut me short of what I deserve because I am me I've worked hard to become who I am and I've been in that place you know what I'm saying where I've talked bad about myself and I didn't respect myself and I

promised to do things and I said I was going to do something I did a complete opposite and my life it wasn't good you know what I'm saying I'm not saying I was living some rough life like I was going through the war like my life was always pretty good you know what I'm saying I'm blessed from the start let's get that clear but the way my life changed the way things started happening for me and I realized that life was happening for me the entire time it was just just that I had to make

certain decisions I had to see things from different angles and then when I started to respect myself and I knew my own value and I put a little more pep in the way I walked and a little more confidence in the way I talked and the way I dressed in the way I just existed people started to respect me people started to admire me and I don't think I'm just some special being I'm special because I'm me I'm not better than you you not better than me you're better at being you than me and I'm

better at being me than you could ever be me it's just that simple bro stop comparing yourself to other people stop putting people on these high horses in these pedestals because if you treat people like celebrities they will treat you like fans and if you treat yourself like a buom guess what you'll be you'll be a bum you won't believe in yourself you're not going to do nothing for yourself you won't have confidence in yourself because there's just nothing there and that goes from the mind the body the spirit you know how many people have

already they gym memberships and they not going to the gym because they don't have that respect for themselves you know how many people have set their goals for 2025 and they already abandoned those things oh I'm going to stop doing this they didn't already stop they didn't stopped two weeks ago and I hope you're not one of them people and that goes for everything like I said the mind the body and the Soul if you have a fitness goal and you have already quit or you've been meaning to do that and you keep pushing it

y'all but early in the video beginning of the video I mentioned how far respect goes in your life if you want to be successful if you want to change your life if you want to make some crazy progress mentally spiritually physically whatever only operate out of respect respect the people that you interact with even if they are disrespectful because one of the worst things you can do to a person that disrespects you is respect them and I'm not saying be a butter ball like you can beat somebody up and be respectful somebody talking that you

know what I'm saying punch him in the face are you okay all right that's a little crazy but still it's it's ways to be respectfully disrespectful you know what I'm saying if you want if that's the word you're looking for but when you operate out of respect it puts you in a upper echelon for example one of my best pieces of advice that I usually give to people that talk um mostly relationships but do as much as you can until you feel like you're disrespecting yourself and if you're at a point where you feel like

you are already disrespecting yourself do more of what would make you respect yourself for example pursuing a lady from my perspective right for the ladies pursuing men same difference right if I'm pursuing a person I expect to right I'm not expecting everything to come to me I make things happen but I have no issue with pursuing a lady you got all these red pill dud oh F the lady become a high Valu man and you know abandon your family and the women they're going to gravel at your feet bro that's not realistic that happens you

know what I'm saying but it is there's nothing wrong with pursuing a person there's an issue with chasing a person when somebody is clearly not interested in running away from you and they don't want you but you keep pursuing and now you throwing money at them and you doing this and you are disrespecting yourself [Music] all right um where were we pursuing pursuing okay you shouldn't have an issue with pursuing a person or putting effort into something until it feels like you're disrespecting yourself even a relationship there's going to be ups and downs in a

relationship and most people will tell you well if if the relationship get Rocky just get out of there save yourself it's like no bro relationship is supposed to have ups and downs that's what that's what it's for the bond that's what makes the bond stronger the friction you know what I'm saying when you go through stuff you come out stronger if you are willing to to but a lot of people quit they don't have respect for themselves they don't have respect for their Partners throwing their Partners under the bus they doing all these things but

it's out of respect when somebody respects you and you respect the person the bond that y'all have is Rock Solid So to that note a lot of people like man when when should I stop chasing or when should I stop doing this when you feel disrespected analyze it with no emotions don't oh she's so pretty or he's so handsome delete all of that evaluate your actions am I respecting myself or am I disrespecting myself the things that I am doing is this honorable is this respectful if I was doing this to somebody really take yourself

outside of the situation strip yourself of those feelings and all those Illusions and really think about it all those goals you set out to accomplish all the things you said you were going to do all of that stuff that you have yet to do that is form that is a form of disrespect respect that will make you lack confidence because you won't believe in yourself imagine if your friend told you yo bro I'm going to come pick you up tomorrow and then he don't come they like yo bro I got you next week and then

he don't come you're going to start to lack confidence in him and his word same thing goes on in here it's just not as transactional you don't really see it you're not really aware of those things so I apologize I was interrupted by a commotion in my home and I can't finish my thought the way I want it to and I don't want to ramble on anymore so I apologize for the lack of quality I'm a human you know what I'm saying I think about something I make a video about it don't have a script

to follow so yeah but I'm going to respect your time because at this point now I feel like I'm disrespecting you um in your time by yapping and um yeah but I also respect y enough to upload this and show y'all that I'm human and I have flaws and I'm not perfect I'm not a machine so I love y'all I appreciate y'all and um shout out to the peoples [Music] m [Music]
