It is enough to realize one thing, and you will no longer have to spend a huge amount of resources to gain respect from others.
It is not often that people think about how much time and energy they spend in an effort to gain respect from others.
But is it really necessary? Is it worth the effort? The answer can make a big difference.
First of all, you should remember your main mission. If it is much more important than trying to prove something to others, then there is no point in spending so many resources.
After all, it really distracts you from real matters, makes you nervous and makes you make the most inconvenient decisions.
Many people put the desire to gain respect above their real goals and still don’t get what they want.
True power lies in focusing on your goals. This could be anything. For example, business projects or career ambitions.
It is also important to remember that respect, like trust, cannot be begged or forced.
Yes, it can be earned. But it should not become an end in itself.
Successful and influential people know that their goals and ambitions come first, and everything else will follow, including respect.
For many of them, the desire to gain respect was never a goal at all. They went against the grain, caused bewilderment among those around them, and so on.
But they always remained true to themselves and their goals.
If you shift your focus from chasing respect to your own world, a lot will change.
