"As I let go of my shoulds and feelings of guilt, I can get in touch with my inner Sociopath."
I assume full responsibility for my actions, except the ones that are someone else's fault. "I no longer need to punish, deceive or compromise myself. Unless, of course, I want to stay employed." In some cultures what I do would be considered normal. Having control over myself is nearly as good as having control over others. "My intuition nearly makes up for my lack of good judgment." I honor my personality flaws, for without them I would have no personality at all. "I am grateful that I am not as judgmental as all those censorious, self-righteous people around me." I need not suffer in silence while I can still moan, whimper and complain. "As I learn the innermost secrets of those around me, they reward me in many ways to keep me quiet." Whenever someone hurts me, I know forgiveness is cheaper than a lawsuit; but not nearly as gratifying. "The first step is to say nice things about me. The second is to do nice things for myself. The third step is to find someone to buy me nice things." As I learn to trust the universe, I no longer need to carry a gun. "All of me is beautiful and valuable, even the ugly, stupid and disgusting parts." I am one with my duality. "Only a lack of imagination spares me from my imaginary fears." I honor and express all facets of my being, regardless of state and local laws. "Today I will gladly share my experience and advice, for there are no sweeter words than "I told you so." " A good scapegoat is oftentimes better than a solution to the problem. "Just for today, I will not sit in my living room all day watching TV; instead, I will move my TV into the bedroom." The complete lack of evidence is the surest sign that the conspiracy is working. "I am learning that criticism is not nearly as effective as sabotage." Becoming aware of my character defects leads me to the next step; blaming my parents. "I will find humor in my everyday life by looking for those around me in which I can ridicule and demean." To have a successful relationship, I must learn to make it appear like I am giving as much as I am getting. I am now willing to make mistakes as long as someone else is willing to learn from them. |
