Gratitude is the foundation of self-respect.

Gratitude is the foundation of self-respect.

“You are whole, complete, and perfect just as you are. Not when you get that job, or finish that project, or find that relationship.”
- Natalie O’Rourke


When you say thank you for everything you’ve got, you stay in a state of gratitude, and a state of gratitude is a state of respect and self-respect.

“Gratitude is the foundation of self-respect. When we acknowledge our own worth, we naturally attract respect from others.” 

But there is even more to it!

When we think that we are unworthy, we experience shortages, problems and obstacles anywhere we go.

One of the reasons we might lose our self-respect is when we make the opinions of others more important than our own.


Claim back your power and reinstate your self-respect, by looking and acknowledging all things you can be grateful for each day.

When we see our own self-worth, we attract more positive experiences and things that make us feel good for ourselves and the world.

So keep your chin up, hold your light high and always shine it brightly!

Keep shining and keep smiling! 🌟

Have a super powerful day! 🚀
