Often people work so hard to “get others to be convinced of why the boundary is important to them”.

That’s where you fall.

Boundaries are not about convincing other people to change and to comply.

It’s about what you want and need, and you going ahead and executing the consequence.

People often don’t want to do this because they’re too frightened of becoming an inconvenience to others.

I’m talking to you people pleasers and type A high achievers.

Boundaries are meant to be bridges to relationships:

1. You WILL lose people by executing boundaries. But that’s ok - they weren’t your people anyway.
2. You WILL keep those people who are designed for you.

Boundaries are a litmus test to your relationships.
