To remind ourselves that we are the children of God is to take the gift of positivity.

Projection:
We usually turn to God only when the situation at hand becomes the worst, i.e., when there is no hope from anyone else. So, we find that in a negative situation our mind naturally goes into
negativity and then we have to make great effort to turn it positive again.

Solution:
We need to remind ourselves that we are the children of God. When we remind ourselves in this way we find that we have a right to our father's property, of all the positive qualities. Then, there will
naturally be peace, happiness and love in our life.

Self Esteem


Self-esteem and self-respect are closely connected. One is an integral part of the other. One is not possible without the other. In relationships, when other people are throwing all their negative
energy at us, if we can maintain our own self-respect we will be able to remain stable, positive and unaffected. In fact, if our self -respect is strong, we will not feel the need to return the negative
energy, which they are sending us, but will be able to return understanding and compassion (sympathy) instead. To regain, build and strengthen our self-respect, we need to practice giving
respect to others – no matter what they are like, or what they do. What we rarely realise is that in the process of respecting another, we are first of all respecting ourself. What does showing respect look like? Imagine different ways in which you can convey respect to another person. What do you
think is the biggest inner barrier to developing the ability to give respect to others?
