Respect-worthy people generate goodness on a consistent basis: the people you respect the most are likely to have already given you good advice, good energy, good presence or all three gifts in varying proportions.

Think of someone you respect, do they pass the following test?

Are they authentic, consistent and have plenty to give?

They probably have all of these qualities.

Now think of the kinds of people you don’t respect: would you consider them needy or entitled individuals - an energetic black hole where nothing is ever enough?

Unfortunately, we all know these types.

All human beings are worthy of existential respect, everybody deserves basic self dignity, but social respect is earned and kept via positive reputation… and positive reputation is directly linked to your capacity to give & generate.

If you want to get your selfish needs met this year, then you better start learning how to give and give and give - it’s good for others, and it’s good for your soul too.
