As things get busier, and the world outside a little crazier, it might be good (for me, for you, for everyone) to post this article from the September NYYM Spark about Personal Rights.
You have –
- The right to act in ways that promote your dignity and self-respect as long as others’ rights are not violated in the process.
- The right to be treated with respect.
- The right to say no and not feel guilty.
- The right to experience and express your feelings.
- The right to take time to slow down and thing.
- The right to change your mind.
- The right to ask for what you want.
- The right to do less than you are humanly capable of doing.
- The right to ask for information.
- The right to make mistakes.
- The right to feel good about yourself.
