I accept that it is my responsibility to take the necessary steps and to seek the help I require to solve my problems.

I alone am responsible for how I think, feel, and respond to the situations that arise in my life.

I choose to develop the courage to be imperfect instead of going through life hiding my mistakes and weaknesses and experiencing resulting anxiety and guilt.

I choose to understand and accept my limitations, and I realize that I can only control my own actions.

I choose to find humor in life, to laugh or cry freely, and to not be ashamed of feelings and of being human.

I accept that I am responsiblefor finding happiness and peace of mind.

I choose to express my thoughts and feelings honestly and assertively when others violate my rights, instead of holding the anger and hurt inside.

I will accept honest feedback from others, and will strive to respond to criticism with rational thinking and peace of mind.
