Boundaries

I found this list a few years ago. These are not my words and I've forgotten where I found it but I love the simple message they provide. For full autonomy over your destiny it is very important to know what your values, beliefs and boundaries are. Remember they are changeable. You are allowed to adjust as required. 

• You have the right to your own values, beliefs, opinions and emotions, and the right to respect yourself for them, regardless of the opinion of others.
• You have the right to judge your own behaviour, thoughts and emotions, and to take the responsibility for their initiation and consequences upon yourself.
  
• You have the right to decide how to lead your life. This includes pursuing your own goals and dreams and establishing your own priorities.
  
• You have the right to tell others how you wish to be treated.
  
• You have the right to offer no reasons or excuses for justifying your behaviour.
  
• You have the right to judge if you are responsible for finding solutions to other people’s problems.
  
• You have the right to change your mind.
  
• You have the right to make mistakes – and be responsible for them.
  
• You have the right to say “I don’t know.”
  
• You have the right to be independent of the goodwill of others.
  
• You have the right to be illogical in making decisions.
  
• You have the right to say “I don’t understand.”
  
• You have the right to say “I don’t care.”
  
• You have the right to say “No.”

With Love
