3. Be willing to lose the relationship
If you really think about it, this is what it is all about.
When we do not see fit to turn our back on relationships in which we are treated with a lack of respect, it shows that we place greater value on those relationships than our self-respect.
It is not an issue of taking flight at the first sign of adversity but about drawing a line in the sand that does not shift just because it is tested.
Respect becomes apparent in the understanding that there will be a price to pay for crossing that line.
