I HAVE THE RIGHT...*to live according to my own conscience, not someone else's. *to make decisions based on my feelings, intuition, values, needs, capabilities or anything I choose to base them on. *to say no to anything that I'm not prepared to do. *to refuse anything that's against my values or feels too dangerous. *to protect myself from threatening behaviour, humiliating attitudes and hurtful words. *not to trust and believe in people and things that don't feel trustworthy or credible. *to say yes to whatever helps my own growth and well-being. *to trust and believe in people and things on whatever grounds I choose to. *to repent and to decide otherwise when I choose. *to forgive others and myself. *to find and learn to know my inner child. *to feel whatever I feel about my past. *to have all feelings I do, and to express them. *to be disappointed and sad for what I didn't get even though I'd have needed it, or what I got and didn't want to have. *to be angry even at one I love, when (s)he frustrates my needs or violates my rights. *to be fearful, feel unsafe and be careful. *to feel good when someone else feels bad, and vice versa. *to ask for what I feel: closeness, distance, togetherness, privacy etc. *to take care of myself. *to want, dream of, and long for anything. have my feelings, needs, values, wants and choices appreciated. *not to assume responsibility and guilt for others' feelings, needs, values, choices or behaviour. *to expect another person to act honestly and justly. *to be different: more healthy, sicker, weaker, stronger, more hung up, less hung up etc. than others. *to be tempted, to fail, to make mistakes and to be imperfect. *to learn, to change and to grow, anytime and all the time. *As I'm not a slave of my rights, I also have the right to give up any right I have, but from now on I'm going to do it out of love -- never out of fear any more. IT IS MY DUTY *to respect these as all other people's rights, too.
