Assertive Bill of Rights

While weeding through old files in my office today, i came across a list of 'rights' that i had not read in 20 years or so. I do not know who wrote this but i am glad to find it today. So, I now, once again, embrace these :

Assertive Bill of Rights
I have the right…..

• To be responsible for my own life.

• To accept and respect myself and others.

• To feel happy, satisfied, and to allow inner peace.

• To take good care of my whole being : my body, my mind, and my spirit.

• To be imperfect.

• To be aware of and fulfill my own needs.

• To have dreams, goals and ideals, and to make them happen.

• To have and express all my emotions.

• To tell others how I want to be treated.

• To allow people to help me without feeling guilty, unworthy, or dependent.

• To set my own priorities about my use of time, money, space, and energy.

• To get what I pay for.

• To have healthy, life-enhancing relationships, where clear communication is valued, and to make conscious decisions to change relationships.

• To change, emerge, and expand in new directions.

• To have my own beliefs, ideas, and values without apology.

• To live in the present moment, free of guilt in the past and worry for the future.

• To relax, to let go, and to ‘do’ nothing!
