### The Secret to Being Assertive Instead of Passive or Aggressive
Do you say yes when you mean no?
Do you keep the peace until you can’t — then erupt over something small?
Many of us were shown two ways to deal with people: disappear or push back hard. Be the doormat or become the bulldozer.
But there is a third way.
At our next Happy Second Life gathering, we’ll explore how to protect your life not out of fear, but out of wisdom.
We’ll talk about what it means to be a sovereign being, how to speak your truth without being hurtful or aggressive, and how to stay grounded in the universal power of mutual respect .
We’ll share simple formulas for clear communication, gentle assertiveness, and those sometimes necessary “fierce conversations” that help us protect the essence of who we are and what we care about.
It is not okay to hurt yourself.
It is not okay to hurt others.
So how do we live truthfully, wisely, and respectfully?
Come as you are. Stay for the company.
Best wishes,
Deb & Mandy
