Grant that I may achieve autonomy and fearlessly express my will for good.
It is very easy to fall into the temptation of just aggressing our way to change, be in a collision course against anyone getting in our way or crashing in as a steamroller flattening out any opposition or contradiction. It is easy to believe that we bring about changes more quickly and attain results through sheer force than through gentle persuasion.
Willfulness must now give way to willingness and the power of negotiation or win-win solutions.
Being autonomous does not mean dramatically breaking off from family or group relationships or breaking away from long held practices or values. Rather, it means being more confidently aware that we have the capacity to stand apart from the rest and still feel complete. It could mean rolling with the punches and courageously taking the inevitable blows...
Affirmation: I cherish my own company! I feel complete by myself.
