Do you ever take yourself seriously? What did it feel to you?
When you missed an appointment, an assignment, a goal, a promise, what’s going on there?
More often than not that the missed engagements are due to your sluggish, lazy, unclear, unawareness of your responsibilities to yourself. You did not take yourself seriously.
If you want others to take you seriously, professionally, you get to treat yourself the same way first.
Very often, we forget the first and the most important relationship we have is with ourselves.
What is the importance for you, what is your intention, why you will do that… ask yourself questions to get better understanding your role, your responsibility, your intention, and your engagements in that context and the time.
With the good understanding, take yourself seriously, others will take you seriously as well.
