Let's Make 2015 The Year of Respect

Having Disrespect For Others Is Akin To Having Disrespect For Yourself

In our previous blog post on respect, Treating People As Rare and Valuable Human Beings, we closed by saying:

Perhaps that is what the true essence of respect is all about ── treating people as if they were what they ought to be (instead of how you might be currently perceiving them).

Here's some more advice on respect, which is excerpted from a booklet called Lessons From Sports by college football coach Todd Dodge:

Respect your opponent.

Never get full of yourself, or you may get ambushed.

Don't ever think you have arrived. Don't be intimidated, but do give respect to your opponent.

You have to pay your dues and prove yourself before being promoted.

Be the perfect gentleman off the field and the ultimate competitor on the field.

Be grateful for what you have and for the support of those around you.

The importance of respect, and showing respect to others, cannot be overstated as a key ingredient of a Project You Life Journey. In our interconnected universe, having disrespect for others is akin to having disrespect for all, including ourselves.

A goal for everyone in 2015 should be to raise the level of respect in our daily lives. This means exhibiting respect to others, and even stepping in when we witness incidents of disrespect, either in the workplace or in our personal lives.  

Let’s each make 2015 the Year of Respect.
