The
Golden rule needs an update: DO UNTO OTHERS WHAT WE WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO US.
AND ASSERTIVELY ASK FOR WHAT WE WANT AND HOLD BOUNDARIES AGAINST WHAT WE
DON'T WANT OR WON'T ACCEPT.
Women are brought up to believe that if we take care of people and listen
and support and understand and accept them, they, in perfect balance, will
listen and support and understand and accept us right back. Only with
assertiveness, with the confidence and courage to ask for what we want,
are we able to actually achieve a balance in human interrelationships.

CHOICE:
We can either spend our Energy feeling resentful, annoyed, taken advantage
of and/or passively aggressive, OR we can use our Energy to take action to
create a world where we are giving and getting exactly what we want.
