Have you ever found yourself in a situation you felt was difficult to navigate? 

Maybe you didn’t know what to say, or maybe you did and you just couldn’t do it…  Perhaps you worried about what someone else might say. Could you be worried about failing? More often than not, that’s exactly why people don’t behave assertively.

Being assertive means hitting the right note–speaking up for a situation that will benefit everyone.  Being assertive with a smile finds that perfect middle ground between aggressiveness and self conscious fear.

This new way of addressing problems in your life will earn respect from those around you.  It will reduce anxiety and increase self-esteem. So…

No more arguments in your head as to why you shouldn’t ask that businessperson to lunch.

Today’s Peace of Wisdom can be found in your decision to be assertive.
