Don't Color Outside The Lines

Don't Color Outside The Lines

Yesirrrrs, Don't Color Outside The Lines contrary to what this poster shows.  What's the  fuss here?  Thing is, one unwritten rule in life is BUT before we go on that line of thinking, let us agree for us to have those boundaries in life, in case one has not been pre-set.  WHY?  We all want to be fair, kind and loving to the people we care about.  Sometimes, that means going out of our way for them.  At other times, it means putting up with a certain amount of CRAP.  And in the long run, we hope and bet on the odds that it's worth it for relationships to have that GIVE-and-TAKE.  However, giving out love without any boundaries can carry a risk to our own self⏳⏳⏳

We all know that it's important to have boundaries.  On paper, it makes perfect sense to have boundaries.  BUT when we try to put our assertiveness to the test, we often flounder.  Others may refer to us as "DEPENDDABLE" and as someone who can always be counted on.  BUT when we need help, there is NO reciprocation.  Harsh reality❗❗❗

So, WHY is it so hard for us to have boundaries?  WHAT makes us trapped in trying to please others?  HOW does our anger and anxiety start turning inward as we struggle with our inability to say "NO"?  Truth is, that boundary is our LITMUS TEST.  You can discover whether you have an issue with boundaries by doing a simple test📌📌📌

Take a situation of yours that you suspect might be a boundary issue.  Some hints might be that you feel guilty or angry after a particular interaction with someone else.  Most likely, that other person has said, done or implied something that made you feel obligated.  Why is it sometimes we end up offending someone?  Likely we went overboard and went beyond boundaries.  And if we want to spell boundaries in a shortcut, it is spelled P-R-I-V-A-C-Y✅✅✅

Unfortunately, we all share one common but very SERIOUS challenge and that's social media !@$%  WHY?  Because social media is even complicit to the breaches of boundaries that many of us end up enduring.  And this is where we, as responsible persons, should PUT A CAP.  We have all the freedoms in life and you're fine as long as you DON'T COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES❗❗❗
