How to get respect from others?(This is gonna be long ,so take a comfortable possition before you start)

There are many ways to do that but the most famous one is if you treat others with respect they shall treat you with respect.
That's not always true. My parents have a Pub and i have spent many hours there observing people.
What i realized was that sometimes if you treated some people with respect they would not respond with respect. Most of the times these people are drunk,unemployed or they have many problems and that's normal to expect but there are many occasions that even normal or high status people won't treat you with respect.

At first that seemed weird to me because i was raised to believe that if you have respect for others they would also have respect for you. That was a terrible mistake.
People were abusing that and most of the times they would respond with bad words,irony ,some even tried to attack.

That made me go into thought ,why something like this happened?
I changed the way i was thinking and i tried to make some tests in my social circles.

I noticed that people that i was thinking of them like ''This guy is very important'' or "I need him to help me" ,they would always treat me like a low lifer even if that was not true.

When i was treating people with the thought like ''This guy is nothing'' or ''This guy is weak,freak or (insert something bad)'' these people were always trying to become friends with me and they would do what ever i asked them to do.

I'm not saying that if you follow the same principles to everyone ,you will be God in front of them, No, absolutelly.
After a while i started to notice some flaws in to these techniques like lack of royalty from both sides,cutting contact with me and again lack of respect.

I started to think again why this is happening ? That was not long time before i find about SS. I started reading the dj bible and then a key opened a door in my mind with the answer inside. The answer was VALUE.

How dumb i was,i was treating people considering myself to be lower value than them. It was all over in my aura that i was low value.I was trasmiting it without realize it and people could feel it and they were using it against me.
I started to giving higher value to myself and truly believing it.I was thinking of myself as someone special ,someone much higher than the average people.

Still though,the magic potion didn't had all the ingredients. I went back to the dj bible and i found again the answer. CONFIDENCE.
When you have no fear to express yourself or what everybody thinks about you and just do what you want ,then your mind if free of restrictions.

There was still something else missing. Yes,that is SELF RESPECT. I was allowing to these people to treat me like garbage and i was not reacting to it at all. When you respect yourself and you are not allowing others to do their things over you ,then YOU have the power over yourself ,not the others.
I started looking after myself, went to the gym,i was wearing better clothes, took care of my hairstyle and everything that has to do with my image plus every disrespectful behavior wouldn't be tolerated .

There was still something small missing. What was it? Yes,I was missing a REASON to become a better person. My first reason was to get the acknowledgement or with other words ''respect'' from other people,the second on how to pick up chicks but is this really worth it? I mean even when you are perfect ,everybody will try to find a flaw into you. This is where the answer came to me. I had to start living for myself and not spending my life for others.I'm doing it for me and only me,in the end i will be the only winner.

I was so happy that i had the answers, it was time to make them part of my mind and use them.

It did not took long to see the results. I thought to start against from zero with the only differences ,i was giving higher value to myself(that i was someone really important),confidence but mostly self respect.

My body started to react to those new things into a positive way, my charachter had evolved and i was feeling unstopable.People started to feel these new traits of myself and they were behaving with admiration but most importantly ,with respect towards my person.

Some might think that since they made it to their target ,they don't have to improve anymore because they reached the top.That's wrong for 2 reasons.

1) There is no end to self improving ,you are the one who sets the limits.Set no limits to your improvement and the sky won't be too far to reach.

2) When you make it into the top ,it's even harder to stay there. Ayrton Senna used to say "It's hard enough to be number one ,and even harder to stay number one"

Go out there and improve DJs.



ps: not sorry for bad grammar,did my best to materialize my thoughts and help brothers in need so i think that's enough to use as excuse for my bad grammar xD
