Damn, I really am not fond of how easily I can lose someone's respect, yet how hard it is to earn it back. Why does it have to be so complicated, why can't I earn respect as easily as I can lose it? Wah wah wah ect...
I know exactly why. Because if it was easy, it wouldn't be as worth it. To earn someone's respect is a testament of hard work and appreciation, and in turn their appreciation towards you. Earning respect from someone is one of the hardest things to accomplish, only because it yields such great rewards.
If I want people to respect me more, I need to change some things about myself and how I behave. But I don't want to change those things for anyone; no person in this world should have such sway over my life. I want to change things for me. I only have myself to impress, and I'll admit, I've got a long way to go. The path I've been on is not the path for me, nor is it a path that leads to a fulfilling and worthwhile life.
So, what is my plan? That is for me to know, and everyone else to find out. At least I know that even if the new me isn't what anyone wants or expects, it will still be me, 100%. There are many facets to my personality and self that not many people see on a daily basis, therefore they assume that I can't behave in certain ways, or that I am not a certain type of guy. I think that in all truth, I'm so dynamic and malleable that when I change something about me whether it be hair, attitude, how dominant I am, what I do on a daily basis, no matter what I change, its something that is a part of me anyways.
No matter, I'm going to be the man I know I can be. Where that takes me, and how that affects how much others respect me is all to be seen in the future.
