Assertive Rights

Assertive Rights Be yourself You are your own person with your own beliefs and values. You are entitled to live your life as you see fit, as long as you do not deliberately seek to hurt others. Choose your own priorities Each person has responsibility for their own life. In accepting responsibility for your own life, you have the right to choose your own priorities. Be fallible You will make mistakes and you will get things wrong. That is a natural part of life. As long as you were trying to do the right thing, people cannot have much of an argument with you. Be understood When there are conflicting opinions, people can become so stubborn in the defence of their own views that they refuse to hear others. Make your choices without guilt When you disagree with others, they will sometimes try to guilt trip you into changing your mind. That behaviour is unacceptable. You have your assertiveness rights and you have the right to defend them.
