On my bumpy flight back to NJ, I finished reading Boundaries.
I put the book down knowing 2 truths:
I am not one who stands up for myself and defends what I believe is respect for me.
I will defend any loved one’s right to fairness and justice.
These truths have caused me many heartaches and put me in situations that I have grown through and from. As I read the book, I recalled many times where I stood back and allowed myself to be used, manipulated, and walked all over. Of course, I could also recall those who did it to me.
However, I let them. I taught them how to treat me and then they applied the lesson. Since I have had the opportunity to move to a new place in life, I have learned how to stand on my own two feet, defend my boundaries, and how to speak my thoughts without the pain of the past and guilt of being “mean” for doing as I want.
I promise there will be more revelations from the book and I will be continuously learning and sharing those learnings.
