It took me a long time to follow Nikki Giovanni’s advice, and once I did, everything in my life upended. It upended because I saw that many of the people I surrounded myself with weren’t aligned with me. They didn’t see me as fully human.
Once I learned to cut ties, things slowly fell into place. My level of self respect increased, and I started to surround myself with people who respected me too.
How are you treating yourself with respect today?
Well, of course you’re worthy. We each just need to define what we do that is most worthwhile…and do more of it.
