About this video
Shelton argues that loyalty should not mean tolerating mistreatment, being taken for granted, or staying where one is unappreciated. He teaches that people must prioritize loyalty to their own principles and self-worth over remaining in harmful situations. Shelton contends that when someone respects your core values, they earn your loyalty, and those principles will naturally filter out people who don’t deserve it.
Key takeaways

- Shelton advises being loyal to your own values and principles before being loyal to others
- People who respect your principles should receive your loyalty, and your principles will naturally remove those who don’t, Shelton teaches
