RESPECT CAN ONLY BE EARNED NOT ORDERED T-Shirt

We all want respect, and many think there are a variety of ways to achieve it. What we really want is the real thing, being seen in a positive light for who we are and what we stand for in life. It's interesting that we don't have to agree with a person to respect them. It's deeper than that. True, real respect comes from doing what is right, not expedient, being honest even when it may hurt us, treating others as we want to be treated . . . earning the admiration by who we are as a person and how we act. It has nothing to do with how much money we have, how successful we are, where we live, what kind of car we drive, or a multitude of other things. Simply said, it can only be earned. Gut check: how's my earning power doing?
