Top Affirmations and Mindsets I have a right to exist. I am of high value to myself. I have a right to honor my needs and wants, to treat them as important. I am not here on earth to live up to someone else’s expectations; my life belongs to me. (Also, no one is here to live up to my expectations.) I do not regard myself as anyone else’s property and I do not regard anyone else as my property. I am lovable. I am admirable. I deserve to be treated courteously and with respect by everyone. If people treat me discourteously or disrespectfully, it is a reflection on them, not on me. It is only a reflection on me if I accept their treatment of me as right. If someone I like does not return my feeling, it may be disappointing or even painful, but it is not a reflection of my personal worth. No other individual or group has the power to determine how I will think and feel about myself. I am worthy of happiness. I am “enough”. I am able to rise again from defeat. I have a right to make mistakes; that is one of the ways I learn. Mistakes are not grounds for self-damnation.
