1. I am a person. As a person, I am due the same courtesy, consideration, attention, and respect as any other person.

2. I am entitled to my own feelings. They require no apology. I am entitled to conduct myself as best as I can, being true to those feelings.

3. I owe it to myself to be the best person I can be. By developing myself. I am more capable of caring and sharing in a positive manner.

4. I owe it to my family and to myself, to see to it that they treat me on my time and my energy with the same respect, courtesy attention and consideration that they would accord anyone else. This means that my goals are just as important as their goals.

5. I make the choice to be happy. Since I do have a choice, when I am asked to do things I do not wish to do, I must learn to say simply “No,” rather than performing a service with grudging resentment. On the other hand, if there are chores which I must do, I will try my best to do them willingly and cheerfully.

6. It is my duty to make the most of my talents. To do less would be disrespectful to myself and be ungrateful to God.

7. I choose my own goals. I am not only free to do so; I must. Without goals, I have no direction and I merely drift with out purpose.

8. I must learn to take care of myself health physically, intellectually, spiritually, psychologically, and financially. I cannot expect someone else to always do it for me.

9. I am responsible for my own actions. I cannot forever act as a child awaiting permission to get on with my life. If I want something, I will have to work for it and make it happen.

10. I have the courage to try whatever I want to try. If I do not even try, I will never succeed. On the other hand, when I do decide I really want something, I can intelligently prepare myself to pursue that goal with courage and perseverance.
