Two things I really need to learn how to do:

1. Speak up and say no to people. I make it too much of my priority to please people. I need to think more about myself then I do. I just say yes to everything and then I never get a break. And sometimes after saying yes I realize later on that I really don't want to do it but then I get stuck doing it or I cop out and have this huge feeling of guilt that takes over my life.

2. The above brings me to say that I need to stand up for myself more. I need to express my wants, needs, desires, and when I don't agree with someone/something. One of my philosophies, or something I live by, is instead of forgiving someone 7 times (persay), forgive them 750 times (persay). But this just leaves me open for getting walked on all the time. And it always happens. No matter what I forgive someone or I let things slide.

I think there IS a such thing as being too nice of a person. And in some circumstances it is almost BAD to be nice. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I need to accquire an ounce or so of meaness.
