Today is a day to practice what I couch...Assertiveness.

I often think someone had slighted me or they are ignoring or make up a variety of possible reasons why they are not doing what I require of them. The reality is often far less about me. That person or organization is just caught up in their own torrent of responsibilities and and life challenges. Assertiveness can often just be picking up the phone or dropping by. Through the simple act of starting a conversation I can usually find a way for both parties  to come to an agreement that is respectful and mutually beneficial. For those times when I can not I let it go and move on. I know I can only change the pieces that I am responsible for.
