It's only due to our self-respect that we get up in the morning, shower and work hard in our careers and businesses. When we go out with our friends and spend time with our loved ones, our self-respect is a major factor in motivating us to do it. How? When we love ourselves, we want others to love us and care for us too. We care for them because we want them to care for us in return.
