The Meshech Chochma writes in his sefer Pirkei Machshava that there’s a mitzvah called ולדבקה בו – to cling to Hashem, and the way a person fulfills this mitzvah is by fearing nothing other than Hashem. Which means we are to have no fear of man whatsoever because Hashem is the only One in charge of anything and no one else in the world has any say at all. No matter how powerful, wealthy or successful an individual seems to be, we are to know he is powerless. He can have no effect on our lives on his own. He is only able to act as a messenger of Hashem.
We could all try to improve on this great mitzvah of ולדבקה בו and learn to fear only Hashem. That means respecting everyone the way Hashem wants us to and not worrying about impressing anyone other than Him.
