Self-respect brings constant learning and an experience of success. Where there is self-respect, there is naturally a positive and elevated state of mind. There is openness and enthusiasm to bring about progress in one's life. Everything that is done is towards this end. So, the one with self-respect naturally reveals one's speciality in all thoughts, words and actions. When we are able to maintain our own state of self-respect, we are able to enjoy the beauty that life brings. We are able to understand, accept and make use of all situations in the right way. So, whatever the situation may be, for me there is a constant experience of progress.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
