There is a belief that if you are a good person, people should just be kind to you. But are you kind to yourself? Are you a good person to yourself? If you are lacking respect from others, it isn’t personal it’s energetic. People are responding to the energy you hold for yourself, not responding with what you truly deserve. When you treat yourself like an afterthought you will experience people treating you like an afterthought, as well. The energy you hold dictates how people respond to you. All people are equally worthy. It is a person’s acceptance of their own worth and value that anchors the energy of their expectation of treatment. This is exactly why your self love practice is so important. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young
