"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

On one's own behalf,

Instead of choosing to be

only 'secure'

And not rocking the boat. "

Virginia Satir
