Assertiveness
Being assertive means being positive and confident. It begins by being aware that you are a worthy persons with your own special gifts. When you are assertive you think for yourself and ask for what you need. You have the self-confidence to tell the truth about what is just.[1]
Why practice assertiveness?
Without assertiveness, we would be passive, allowing others to bully us or lead us into trouble. We would have a hard time saying no. We would be afraid to tell if someone is hurting us. Without assertiveness, we might be too aggressive, bullying, fighting, or trying to control others. When we are assertive, others respect us and we respet others. We stand up for what is right.[2]
