The Five Freedoms
by Virginia Satir
To see and hear what is here,
instead of what should be, was or will be.
To say what one feels and thinks,
instead of what one should.
To feel what one feels,
instead of what one ought.
To ask for what one wants,
instead of always waiting for permission.
To take risks in one's own behalf,
instead of choosing to be only 'secure'
and not rocking the boat.

How backwards is that?

RP.....I really like that, Thank you much.
TG... me too ,always trying to do someone elses shoulds and aughts, and then all my own too, kinda a double load. Smile Hope you fix you. I still slip.
denny... did you fix you, or were you always free of shoulds and wants?? I do think some are born free.
