Rarely does it happen that you come across something and get stuck there wondering, ‘this is what I was thinking of. It’s just that the right words hadn’t popped up yet.’
We come across thousands of advices and wise quotes by ALL-WISE(includes me 😉) people around us everyday. And we are real quick in responding “hmmm…”, “yeah…”, “well said” and sometimes with what a line man!!. We blurt it out almost automatically without giving a second thought on what was said/read.
I remember one of my friends once said,”Good things are known to everyone.”, when I pointed to a statutory warning written on his cigarette case. So what is it then that makes you stuck on a particular quote and your mind keeps drifting back to that thought throughout the day if not longer.
May be because you connect to it. And may be you connect to it because you are going through it or you are deeply moved by someone else going through it.
Coming back to the title of the post, I liked the later part of the quote very much. Self respect at its extreme. I am not just merely an option for somebody to choose or put an hold for a later point of time when things will be less complicated. Saying this statement to myself makes me feel stronger, more confident and less concerned on what people might think of me. It’s kind of nerd feeling that keeps me going when I am down and deserted. It motivates me to bring the more capable ‘I’ from within.
Some people may term it as an egoistic statement but I call it ‘loving the self’. What do you think?
