Every day I speak my truth I challenge my fear of being rejected. In the past I said what I thought people wanted to hear, to keep me safe. I realize if I am not speaking my truth, I am hurting myself. Now looking back at the people pleaser me, I realize, I was a bit of a fibber. I did things in my twenties I did not want to do at all! Once or twice, I found myself in such weird settings I just did what was asked of me out of naivete. Then I berated myself for days after that!

However, for me to live my life as a fulfilled adult it is important to me to speak up for my needs. I am the only person in the whole world who knows what my heart desires. I give myself permission to share my needs as if everyone I speak to would love to fulfill my every wish. I am worthy of creating the best life I can figure out how to design. The most important part of my personal transformation is being ok with me if someone enjoys my company or if someone does not enjoy my company.

Giving myself the permission to be disliked allows me to take responsibility for my emotions and ask for my needs to be met. If the people in my life really do not want to meet my needs, I will find new ways to get my needs met in healthy ways. Allowing myself the right to be wrong, the permission to ask for my needs to be met and for defending my friends when necessary, builds my character and my resilience. I embrace conflict as if I am a great debater. I practice sharing my needs in situations where I feel safe so that when I am in a more stressful situations, I will be able to speak up for myself.

Knowing it is actually wonderful for me to get my needs met is a feeling new and marvelous to my heart. I embrace thinking about what my emotional needs are and how to communicate my needs in ways my loved ones understand and even help them meet my needs because I am clear about what I want and I am able to ask from a place of worth.

Living from a place of knowing I am a light being incarnated encourages me to speak calmly, caringly and in the best of times with an encouraging tone of voice for myself and everyone else to here. I am a generator self-worth.

Saying no to something I really do not want to do is a great way for me to build my confidence. My heart soars with delight when I say no with conviction! The extra benefit is when I say yes with conviction because I know I am standing up for me my heart is content.

I am a determined child of Universal Love and Universal Love knows I am ready to receive all good because I know my worth.
