We all have been taught to chase respect. As children, we chase respect by doing what our parents appreciate: Being nice, obeying, achieving, some even were respected for being ill…
I was respected for being a victim. This created a victim behavior at school, at my workplaces and in my partnerships. I was chasing respect from male ‘authorities’ until my late forties. At first, I realized I ‘felt’ like a victim… Ouch !… Then I realized I behaved like a ‘chaser for respect’ in a masculine manner. I chased respect by performing excellently as an attorney which brought me near to exhaustion. I chased respect by raising two daughters on my own. I chased respect by helping anyone around me. I chased respect by doing a good job with all I did. The more tired I was, the more I believed to merit respect. Surprisingly this did not work out 😉 It drained my female life force.

Chasing respect betrays me. Chasing respect separates.

I lose contact with my heart by focusing on another person. I’m no longer connected with myself and even less with others.

It’s never too late to give myself respect. I waive being respected by others now!

The consequence is I AM. I am unoccupied space, connected with my own heart as well as connected with others. The miraculous gift of connection is: I feel fulfilled.

Anyone can feel fulfilled… Do you wish to feel fulfilled and connected?
