Assertive Bill of Rights

1. I have the right to evaluate my own behavior, thoughts, and emotions, and to take responsibility for their initiation and consequences upon myself.

2. I have the right to decide whether I am responsible for solving other people's problems.

3. I have the right to change my mind.

4. I have the right to make mistakes—and be responsible for them.

5. I have the right to be illogical in making decisions.

6. I have the right to say I don't know.

7. I have the right to say I don't understand.

8. I have the right to say I don't care.

9. I have the right to set my own priorities.

10. I have the right to say no without feeling guilty.

I am quoting again from Captive Hearts Captive Minds, my currently favorite book. If you're getting a little tired of me quoting from this book, too bad.

Well then, you are obviously not a member in good standing of the Church of Scientology, as those rights are completely antithetical to the greatest good for the greatest number of dynamics. I am afraid that I will have to disconnect from you!
