Insights from Day 8 at CN705
- Being assertive doesn't mean winning the battle, but having the choice to do what you think is right and best, and not being forced to do what you do not want.
- Being assertive is having the right to choose to sacrifice. It is based on strength and courage, not cowardliness.
- When you're angry, you disqualify yourself from assertiveness. There is a big difference between assertiveness and aggressiveness.
- An effective board cannot function with a lot of secrecy.
- "No" gives meaning to your "yes".
- Difficult and irritating people are there sometimes because they crave your respect.
- We need to develop flexibility in our personality.

hey man,
didn't realize you are studying spiritual formation.
I was at Rapha foundation's course. It is very intriguing and insightful how Dr. Kok combines Psychology and spiritual formation. Her books are sold everywhere but the real deep part is the experiencing God's presence and the small group discussion.
God bless

if you're interested, i recommend all books by my professor Dr. Archibald Hart. He has a very good integration of psychology (particularly the neurophysiological side of it) and pastoral theology.
