Success Statement
“The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon:
self-respect, dignity, integrity, and self-esteem.”-Dr. Laura Schlessinger
What an insightful statement which allows me to perceive life
through a renewed perspective. The essential message inscribed within this
quote is the benefits associated with proper actions. The benefits include as presented
by the quote: self-respect, dignity, integrity, and self-esteem. These
phenomena can greatly affect your life. Self-respect prompts a feeling of
self-worth and pride, dignity prompts respect among your peers toward you,
integrity allows you to be respected by the community, and self-esteem
motivates you to pursue your desired endeavors. These are all crucial
characteristics, and they can only be obtained through proper actions. When I commit
a proper action I can feel that I have done something meaningful and productive,
therefore I am benefited by the acquisition of self-respect, dignity,
integrity, and self-esteem. These aspects allow prosperity to occur.
