POW: Giving reasons during conflict to justify or defend a viewpoint is just as manipulative as giving reasons to attack that viewpoint. In handling of situations during conflict we have many rights in the laws of assertiveness. We have the right to judge our own behavior, thoughts, and emotions, and to take the responsibility for their initiation and consequences upon ourselves. We have the right to be illogical in making decisions. We have the right to say no and change our minds and not feel guilty. Assertiveness means being positive and confident about ourselves- our ideas, opinions and talents-and expressing these in the service of our values. It means acting on aspirations and exercising abilities, recognizing that each of us is expressive and affirmative in a unique way. Are you assertive in life to get what you want in your unique way?
