What's yours projecting?
| | There's an energy that walks into the room before you do. | It's not charisma. | It's not bravado. | It's not charm. | It's self-respect. | You can feel it in someone who doesn't chase approval. | Who doesn't overshare to stay relevant. | Who doesn't need to be liked to stand firmly in their truth. | They're calm, but not passive. | Kind, but not over-accommodating. | Clear, without the need to raise their voice. | Because self-respect isn't arrogance. | It's alignment. | It's knowing where your values begin and where negotiation ends. | It's having the internal discipline to walk away from what doesn't serve you…without fanfare, resentment, or theatrics. | It's speaking with conviction even if your voice is the only one in the room. | When you respect yourself, your posture changes. | Your tone becomes more deliberate. | Your boundaries become sharper. | And ironically, the world begins to treat you with the very same respect you stopped begging for. | Because people don't give you what you want. | They mirror what you enforce. | So here's your challenge this week: | Audit your boundaries. | Where are you tolerating what you'd never advise someone else to accept? | Where are you asking for respect, rather than living in a way that commands it? | Then take one action…small but firm. | Say no without overexplaining. | Step back from something misaligned. | Stand taller when your first instinct is to shrink. | Because self-respect, when cultivated quietly and consistently, becomes its own kind of gravity. | It draws the right people closer. | And gently repels the wrong ones…without conflict, without explanation. | People can feel it. | Even before you speak. | And once you start living with it, you never go back. | To your greatness, | -James Michael Sama | P.S.: If you're looking for a private advisor to help you develop these qualities, let's talk. | |
