 I haven't always been as content and joyful in my life as I am now.  ( The history to writing myself a charter. )

One of the things that really helped me on my  life journey was a personal charter, that I had printed out and attached to my computer at work for at least five years.  So for five years, five days per week, eight hours each day, I had a reminder in front of me. The charter read:

I have the right to:
Change my mind.
Make mistakes.
Make decisions or statements without justifying them.
Say "I don't know" or "I don't understand".
Feel and express emotions, positive and negative, without feeling I'm weak.
Be illogical.
Say "no" without feeling guilty.
Not get involved with someone else's problems.
Judge myself and my actions and take responsibility for the results.
Be myself.

I also recognize that everyone else has the same rights.

( More that I've learned )

But again, that's just my opinion and how I personally structure my morality.  Not something that I have to justify to others, or expect them to take on.  Because we're only actually responsible to ourselves.  In my case, I'm aware that my inner voice is highly critical, but I've learned to be ok with that and just strive towards perfection, because I'm human and I'm never going to achieve perfection and that's all right.
