I Have The Right…
I shared this with a poster already but thought I’d post it as a topic of it’s own as it is something everyone could benefit from reading at some point or another, I’m sure.
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.

That’s a very good list, I think many people could benefit from reading it. Thanks for sharing!
I also have the right to remain silent. Anything I say can and will be used against me in a court of law. I have the right to have an attorney present during questioning. If I cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for me.
:)
That’s the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw the title of the post.
lol! Too funny, and yes I hope many would benefit, invite your friends if ya like :)
Yes, Enigma. I had read that reply when you wrote it and copied it already. But I’ll agree, it deserves a post of its own. I’ll see if I can invite anyone…
Thank you, for that. :)

This is definitely a post that can help everyone. Thanks for sharing it. It is helping me too.
Here is one I am working on…. I have the right …. To want, dream of, and long for anything.
It is easy for me to appreciate what I have but when I start wanting or longing for something, It is hard for me to allow it. I tend to put a stop to it and put others wants and desires ahead of my own. So I am going to add this one to my affirmations.
I have the right to want, dream, and long for anything!
Yes miss_enigma You do:)!
Strength is a beautiful thing, and the right to choose must always be protected!
I have the right to make love 3 times a day…just like my eating habits!

So do I, it’s so true and often overlooked as people tend to judge so easily.

Get up each day with the attitude, “I’m going to kick butt today and take names!” loll…
Life is about having fun along the way!
Did not know this…
Be All You Can Be was the recruiting slogan of the United States Army for over twenty years.[1] It was followed by the slogan, “Army of One”[2], which was followed by “Army Strong.”
This popular slogan was created by E. N. J. Carter while at the advertising firm N. W. Ayer & Son. He was awarded the Outstanding Civilian Service Award for his efforts.[3]

WOW! Just found out I can make my own quotes! :D! AWSOMENESS!
I do love laundry though. Warm and soft.

Hahaha! I’ll MAKE it fit!! Dang I detest laundry lol ;)
But why? I like knowing that when I take a shower that I can get into some clean cloths. I dont have many is why. :D
Maybe one sock at a time?
I love clean fresh laundry, just don’t like doing it so much. Dunno why, just redundant I suppose. Never ending, the grass stains, mud puddle splashing, food fights, finger painting…and that’s just my laundry, nevermind the kids! lol
Hon, I have the most beautiful thing in the world that will help you SOOOOO much for most (And I mean ALMOST ALL!) stains! In one bottle! I use it. Its Spray and Wash with Resolve! SERIOUSLY! I will put my life on this, took out pee stains, grass, even made my white cloths WHITE! After going though all that crap of having cooking oil out! WOOT! Seriously Enigma, Spray and Wash with Resolve!!! I love that stuff! :D!
I will try it, thanks! Nothing else has ever really worked so I’m excited to see you excited about this stuff lol.
Oh my gosh I swear that all my stains never came out with all the differ detergent I used, but my mom got the Spray and Wash, oh Enigma, its a GOD SEND! I use it all the time! The latest was that my mom got paint (YEA! PAINT!) On her coat while we were painting the kitchen (which looks SWEET!) and she was disapointed about it, but put the Spray and Wash on it and let it sit for… sheesh like 4 days? Then we did the laundry and hers came out! (I had paint on my shirt too, but I didnt put the spray and wash on it…. so its still there.) But yea! See? PAINT! I was so impressed!
Makes my day sunny! lol! Make sure you get the kind with the Resolve in it. :D!!!
Hehehe! I have the right to detest doing laundry and yet, get excited about stain removal :D
Awwww, thank you for sending me this! This is awesome and it is right on the money with basic human rights. Thank you! Hugs
I have the right to feel down.
Maybe if I accept myself more, I would stop running round in circles.
I think that is the key my friend, sounds as though you are well on your way to quite an awakening :)
Active minds can be a real pain sometimes…I know all too well.;)
