My mom always said, 'You may not love me, but you will respect me.' The same great advice was shared from Chuck Swindoll.
Now I love this thing my mom said when it's related to raising children and teaching them obedience. Chuck and my mom were right on track. Our kids do learn by accountability.
This nugget of advice changes color a little bit when dealing with adults. One adult can't force another adult's respect. They may think they are forcing respect but they are really forcing fear.
As adults, the best way to get respect is to HAVE respect for yourself. Respect your own thought and your own feelings. Respect your opinion and your strengths. Respect your right and the joy of being your unique self!
