Ego vs Self Respect

People say we shouldn't lose our self-respect, but we should never keep ego...Have you guys ever mistaken ego for self-respect? Well, my dear friends you know it. They are not the same!  Ego and Self-respect play similar roles but of two different worlds, or let's simply say different views. 
 Love yourself...you must've heard this many times I assume? That's self-respect. You have to respect yourself, but you can't expect everyone to put you first. Everything has a limit. The main point is, how you treat others shows them your level of ego, and how you treat yourself shows your level of self-respect!  I always believe that just because someone does a mistake or treats you bad, it doesn't mean that you have to cause them harm in return. There are cases in which you have to fight for yourself, or for your people, and yeah that is different from giving 'tit-for-tat which just because someone 'hurt your ego'. Again, fighting for a cause, for yourself, for the right thing is to keep up your self-respect. You get the difference? self-respect gives peace and strength, and will power, and positivity, while ego gives a negative vibe and only leaves self-destruction...

I hope all the lonely, silent, depressed, self-discouraged ones or those discouraged by others learn to stand up for themselves.

You have to help yourself. No matter how many people- friends, acquaintances, or family, promise to be with you forever, they can't stay forever, because they have their own lives to deal with too...and you shouldn't wait for someone to come and lift you up. Someone who should always be ready to take your side should be yourself...

Remember, you are the strongest person when you respect yourself, because you are the strength you need...you just need to stay away from ego...and learn to treat yourself well without mistreating others...

I truly hope this helps everyone realize how important it is to keep self-respect and let go of ego...Cuz friends.... we can't always live in fantasy; we have to face reality!
Choose which side you're on!
