Assertiveness: Virtues of the week

 We have the courage to speak up for what we believe is right. We tell the truth about what is just. Assertiveness comes from knowing our own worth, and honouring the dignity of who we are. We stand on our own holy ground, and set boundaries without guilt. We never beg or make demands. We ask for what we need by making simple, positive requests. We treat ourselves with respect and expect respect at all times.


'Dost thou reckon thyself a puny form, when within thee the universe is folded?" Imam Ali

The Practice of Assertiveness

I speak my truth with confidence

I value the gifts I have to give

I stand up for what I think is right

I honour my own worth

I set clear boundaries

I know I am worthy of respect


I am thankful for the gift of Assertiveness. It is the guardian of my dignity
