Self-respect won’t have you calling your girlfriends, debating and analyzing. Self-respect won’t keep you warm at night. It won’t make you giggle in the morning. There’s no euphoric high in behaving with integrity. Self-respect is an investment. It is something you add to the bank of self over and over. You will never see an immediate benefit, but what you will see, years later, is how people respect you when you respect yourself.
