YOUR LEGITIMATE RIGHTS

1. You have a right to need things from others.
2. You have a right to put yourself first sometimes..
3. You have a right to feel and express your emotions or your pain.
4. You have the right to be the final judge of your beliefs and accept them as legitimate.
5. You have the right to your opinions and convictions.
6. You have the right to your experience-even if it's different from that of other people.
7. You have a right to protest any treatment or criticism that feels bad to you.
8. You have a right to negotiate for change.
9. You have a right to ask for help, emotional support, or anything else you need (even though you may not always get it).
10. You have a right to say no; saying no doesn't make you bad or selfish.
11. You have a right not to justify yourself to others.
12. You have a right not to take responsibility for someone else's proble.
13. You have a right to choose not to respond to a situation.
14. You have a right, sometimes, to inconvenience or disapoint others.
Put the right that are most important or liberating to you on a file card, (I use sticky notes) and tape it someplace where you'll see it frequently, like your bathroom mirror, in order to remind yourself.

I can be disturbed but not despondent.
Angry but not desperate.
My driving passion is love!
I'm reading the greatest essay(Paul's treatise on love). 1st Corinthinas.Chapter 13 remains the greatest essay ever penned.
