I Pledge Allegiance...

To all the things that are good about me...
And I shall from this day forward...

No longer try to be everything to everybody.

Nor will I be someone I'm not.

I shall no longer use all my energies to fulfill the dreams of others while mine go unattended.

I shall use my assertive right to take charge of my life.

I shall never again know guilt, for this pain is self-chosen.

I shall fight the manipulators and their ploys by standing up for myself and my ideals.

I shall insist upon being treated with dignity, and demand goodness in my life.

I shall speak the truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others.

I shall be the judge of my behavior, thoughts and emotions, and I shall be responsible for them.

I shall challenge put downs.

I shall destroy negative thoughts and fears of rejection.

I shall not distress myself with imaginings.

I shall be gentle with myself and strive to be happy.

I shall live positively.

I pledge allegiance...to me!

I shall begin now!
