So many of the good things in life happen within our boundaries, and many of the bad things are outside our boundaries. Boundaries govern many things about our life and the quality of it. Boundaries define us. They define what is me and what is not me. A boundary shows me where I end and someone else begins, leading me to a sense of ownership. Knowing what I own and take responsibility for gives me freedom. If I know where my yard begins and ends, I’m free to do what I like with it. Taking responsibility form my life opens up many different options. However, if I do not own my life, my choices and my options become very limited. With boundaries, we keep the good in and the bad out. Our boundaries can be walls, fences, and gates that open and close. Boundary help us to correctly respond to pressure, when others manipulate, oh when we feel duty-bound. It’s very good to allow others to see where they stand with your personal boundaries. A lack of boundaries is often due to Loving too much. A boundary invasion causes anger. We must also be aware of trespassing on other peoples boundaries.
