19)I have the right to choose if, when and how to respectfully tell others how their actions are affecting me and to take responsibility for doing so
20)I have the right to take all the time I need to evaluate and make important life decisions. If this stresses other people, they are responsible for asserting their needs and I am responsible for balancing them with mine
21)I have the right to distinguish between who other people SAY I AM, and WHO I REALLY AM
22)I have the right to choose how and when to fill my needs, even if my choices conflict with other people’s values or wishes.
23)I have the right to decide if and when, I choose to forgive my mistakes or anyone else’s mistakes.
I suggest that you get yourself a large sheet of paper and right down this list. Rewrite parts or this entire sample and make it YOURS. Read each statement out loud. Feel it in your heart.
Refer to this Bill any time you feel conflicts or upset in your life. This will help you clarify each persons basic rights and work together for a win-win situation.
