What's an idea that matters to you?
Does it matter to you enough to share it?
Are you willing to explore the idea with others who hold differing perspectives?
Being assertive means putting your life energy into what matters. Yes, it is work to be assertive. It can call on your clarity and your courage. It can expose you to contrast as you share with those who don't care about what you deeply care about.
The great news is that being assertive about ideas is freeing! We're not saying, "I know best! (And if you respect me you'll agree!)" Arrogant advocacy is not what this is about.
Yes, it IS about what matters to us. But it is not personal.
Consider that co-creating matters to you. You share the concept. You invite people to be co-creators, too (with you and others in their life). Co-creating is an idea, and we assert that co-creating is a juicy fit for a thriving life! Co-creating matters to us.
Guess whatโฆ People seeking personal achievement and the hero's victory (THEIR victory) over adversity don't get excited about co-creating.
That's more than ok. That's diversity (another concept for thriving).
By being assertive, we readily discern those with interest from those don't. We're seeking congruence and engagement โ not "dominance" over others (which always creates conflict and resistance).
So consider being assertive on behalf of ideas โ ideas that matter to you.
