Develop Your Assertiveness 5

How assertive are you?

I'm making  a rather obvious assumption that you are reading this book either because you feel you would gain from modifying you behaviour in same way, or that you want to improve your interpersonal skills through assertiveness training.It follows, therefore, that at present there are areas in your life where you are not as assertive as you would like to be.

We have established that assertiveness is a choice of behaviour and that there are occasions when it is appropriate not to assert yourself. We have examined basic rights, and from this you will have deduced areas for self-development.In order to devise your own personal programme for self-improvement, you also need to consider areas of your life where, at present, you find it difficult to assert yourself.

For example, it may be that you always react badly to criticism - getting defensive or aggressive or counter-attacking.It could be that you always feel upset or hurt by criticism and spend endless hours fretting over comments made by others.

ALWAYS STAND UP AND FEEL THE SPIRIT OF A LION.
RISE AND RISE UNTIL LAMBS BECOME LIONS.
NEVER GIVE UP.
