[QUOTE="YogiLori, post: 762747, member: 30044"] I can't expect others to share my values. Sometimes I make choices in my own best interest that others don't understand. If my boundary is not respected, I remember the Serenity Prayer, communicate my limit, and in quietness and serenity do what is needed to take care of myself. I don't have to end the relationship. However, I do have to recognize my responsibility to honor myself as a child of God who is worthy of respect. I am more mindful of my boundaries when I am around those I do not trust. With those I do trust, I can be more flexible. If I allow my boundaries to be violated repeatedly, I am a volunteer rather than a victim. It's my responsibility to stick with people who are affirming and trustworthy and to limit my exposure to those who are not. I demonstrate dignity and respect for myself and for others when I honor my values as well as theirs. - Hope for Today posted by letitgo.guru I follow and love letitgo.guru on Instagram. I need a daily boundary reminder!! [/QUOTE]
