BOUNDARIES:

We cannot simultaneously set a
boundary and take care of another
person’s feelings. It’s impossible; the
two acts contradict.

What a tremendous asset to have
compassion for others! How difficult
that same quality can make it to set
boundaries!

It’s good to care about other people
and their feelings, it’s essential to

care about ourselves too. Sometimes,
to take good care of ourselves, we need

to make a choice.

Some of us live with a deeply ingrained
message from our family, or our church,
about never hurting other people’s
feelings. We can replace that message
with a new one, one that says it’s not
okay to hurt ourselves. Sometimes,
when we take care of ourselves, others
will react with hurt feelings.

That’s okay. We will learn, grow, and
benefit by the experience; they will too.
The most powerful and positive impact
we can have on other people is
accomplished by taking responsibility
for ourselves, and allowing others to be

responsible for themselves.
