The Five Freedoms

To see and hear
what is there
instead of what should be,
was or will be.

To say -
what one feels
instead of what one ought.

To ask -
for what one wants,
instead of always waiting
for permission.

To take risks -
in one's own behalf,
instead of choosing to be
only "secure"
and not rocking the boat.

(Virginia Satir)
