Personal Rights
Everyone has human, Personal Rights.
They are different from Legal Rights. Some people may not underdstand
that everyone is entitled to Personal Rights and violate them.When that
happens we cannot always turn to the law to defend our Personal Rights.
We can only turn to ourselves and our resources. It is important to
know what our Personal Rights are, so wecan protect ourselves more effectively.
When you claim your Personal Rights, remember:
Everyone else has Personal Rights
too.
Know to respect their Personal Rights as much as you
want yours to be respected.
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT...
- to put yourself first sometimes
- to ask for help or emotional support
- to protest unfair treatment or critcism
- to your own opinions and convictions
- to make mistakes until you get it right
- to let someone solve her/his own problems
- to say "thank you, no" "excuse me, no"
- to disregard the advice of others and follow your own
- to be by yourself even when others want your company
- to your own feelings whether they make sense to others or not
- to change your mind or choose a different course of action
- to negotiate for changes when the arrangements don't work for you
IT'S NEVER YOUR RESPONSIBILITY...
