What do I owe?
Permalink  
 


Was journaling today and here is what I came up with.  Would love to hear from others.  It was pretty empowering.  What do you owe ... or NOT owe?

 

I owe myself love and respect. 
I owe others courtesy and compassion.
I owe those who depend on me dependability and responsibility.
I owe myself care and boundaries with those that depend on me.
I owe myself happiness.
I owe myself honesty.
I owe others honesty.
I owe myself the work it takes to grow in all ways.
I owe others the work it takes to earn respect.
I owe myself care, nurturing, and protection.
I owe myself trust.
I owe myself to let others earn my trust.
I owe myself to behave with integrity.
I owe myself to protect myself from people who do not act with integrity.
I owe myself fun.
I owe myself an apology for the hurt I have inflicted upon myself.


I DO NOT owe anyone their own happiness.
I DO NOT owe anyone respect if they have not earned it.
I DO NOT owe anyone respect for themselves.
I DO NOT owe anyone the ability to care for themselves.
I DO NOT owe anyone an apology for hurting me.
I DO NOT owe anyone my power.
I DO NOT owe anyone my trust if they have lost it.
I DO NOT owe anyone help unless they are willing to help themselves.
I DO NOT owe anyone my body because they say they love me.
I DO NOT owe anyone my desire unless they have earned it.
I DO NOT owe anyone an apology for owning my truth.
I DO NOT owe anyone an apology for taking care of myself.
