Respect will always last longer. All attention isn't good attention! You can sometimes lose not only yourself but your dignity going against your morals and values trying to get some attention for the wrong reasons. Be you, and give people something to respect!
“Once you figure out what respect tastes like, it tastes better than attention. But you have to get there.” - Pink Reassurance that respect is way better than attention.
Its important as not only human beings but as women to always seek respect! Of course we love attention, hence our instagram's and 2000 selfies in our phones, but we must know that doing stuff to try to get peoples attention or trying to get people to notice you isn't always the best thing to do.
When someone respects you they see you as a genuine person, it doesn't matter what your background is, what your mistakes are, what color you hair is, etc. As long as you are a woman that seeks respect people will love you for just being you and not trying to change for attention. Respect is much deeper than surface level, when people respect you it isn't about the car you drive, the jewelry you have on, or how much money you have, its about the person inside.
Attention can hinder your reputation where as respect can heighten it. Attention leaves you temporary satisfied, its different with respect, once you're gone people will only be able to talk about your reputation and the legacy you left behind. Not sure about you, but I would most definitely like to be someone that people respected versus someone who always wanted attention like crack addicts need their next hit.
You crave attention, but you wont have to crave respect. People usually want attention from those who pay them no mind and will go above and beyond to get it. Once you have someones respect its hard to lose it, unless you just mess up in a major way. With respect you can build trust off that and relationships become stronger.
Happy people go way further in life than temporary satisfied people! Be You, seek respect and live a happy life!
