Conflicts don't have to end relationships. I have the right to change my own rules, the powerful messages from the past that control what I do today. If I'm willing to get honest, be open, and try things differently, I'll change. My past has prepared me for this moment. Today prepares me for tomorrow.
Nothing is wasted.
I won't let people stomp on my rights. Giving to people is an important part of living, but there's a big difference between giving and being robbed. I have a right to be, to be here, and to be who I am. Sometimes I need to work hard on a relationship. Sometimes I need to back off and work on myself.
