Good fences make good neighbors.
When we fail to set boundaries and hold people accountable, we feel used and mistreated. This is why we sometimes attack who they are, which is far more hurtful than addressing a behavior or a choice.
Whenever you remove any fence, always pause long enough to ask why it was put there in the first place.
Learn how to say no. Don’t let your mouth overload your back.
Push your boundaries, that’s what they’re there for.
Saying no can be the ultimate self-care.
A boundary is not that at which something stops, but that from which something begins.
Your yes means nothing if you can’t say no.
One day there will be no borders, no boundaries, no flags and no countries and the only passport will be the heart.
Boundaries are basically about providing structure, and structure is essential in building anything that thrives.
Don’t be curious of matters that don’t concern you; never speak of them, and don’t ask about them.
You teach people how to treat you by what you allow, what you stop, and what you reinforce.
Don’t set yourself on fire trying to keep others warm.
