I could coin several definitions about what personal dignity is. But I believe that one of the best fits is the sum of that confidence in oneself and respect for values, for the principles, for the ethical and moral codes that each one handles. But it happens nowadays, that the progressive loss of values that we have, especially in the western world, means that in parallel with this, many human beings lose their personal dignity. And how do they lose it? 

They lose it by giving up spaces that perhaps they should never have given, they lose it by accepting situations and concepts about their person that they should never have allowed, they lose it by generating the destruction of their own identity to the extent that they they give greater importance to the opinion, to the judgment and to the experience of the others in counterpart with what is their own experience of life. And the unfortunate thing and the hard part of this situation is that we do not realize, it's like all this is happening in an imperceptible way, because today I said yes because I do not want to argue and because I want to maintain harmony, and that happens to level of the couple and that happens at the level of marriage and tomorrow I say yes because I am very tired or tired and I do not want to discuss, and in that way, without realizing,

But this also occurs at the level of relationships between parents and children, this also occurs at the level of labor relations, is also at the level of interpersonal relationships, and when we add the number of situations where we we are involved, losing progressively and gradually, but without return, that personal dignity, we will find ourselves a day when we will not even recognize ourselves. We will no longer know why we have made this regression, why we have allowed our lives to invade us in this way, why we have lost our way, why we have lost the protagonism of our own existence.

And there is only one way to recover that personal dignity that is through the recovery of self-esteem, it is through the recovery of that respect for our own person that goes from respect for our body image, to respect for our ideas , even respect for what we think about life, what our mission is and what our vision is about human existence and the role that each of us plays within that life.

And ... there are people who have grown up with a very low self-esteem because the messages received have been deeply negative and never, for different reasons, took the time and work to assess whether that personal image so devalued was real or was the result of negative messages generally received from the family. And I believe that there is a responsibility that all human beings have as we grow and we are accessing the maturity of our life, to review those concepts. Some are fortunate to have been stimulated since they were very small and are people who can be considered successful with life, based on the basis that being successful is being able to live according to their own expectations, is to live according to their own principles.

But those people who for some reason were not stimulated properly, today have the opportunity to reevaluate to see if those messages were real or if they were part of the baggage of guilt that often deposited throughout our lives without us we have nothing to do with the facts in which they are involving us. 

And it is good that you think at this moment how your personal dignity is. What spaces have you given, because it's not that it's wrong to give up spaces when you do it evenly with another person. For example, in affective bonds, if the assignment of spaces is effective and is from both sides, it seems most correct that one should relax their position, their position, their thought, their action in order to please and flatter the other and try that way to have a coexistence as harmonious as possible. But one thing is this and another thing is that systematically, for different reasons,

Perhaps all this that we are reflecting today, move the deepest foundations of your person and think that it is not the moment to review your behavior or your attitude towards life. And I want to tell you that the sooner you do it, the better it will go, you will also have greater possibilities of changing, of amending the path, of introducing modifications that make you feel that life has a WHY and a WHAT to live with and share. It is something very different than giving and giving.

Respect and security in your attitude towards life will give you the necessary dignity to project yourself into the future with your dreams and illusions.

Do not fall! You can recover your values and your right to be happy! Come ... learn to visualize your reality as it is, and see after the definitive change in your existence!
