Thriving Thursday | Boundaries — Owning Your Yes and Your No

The Gate, Not the Wall

What would change in your life if your yes meant yes, and your no meant no?

Ownership October invites us to take responsibility for our lives with compassion. Last week we owned the next step. This week we own something equally personal: our boundaries.

Many of us were taught that boundaries are selfish or unkind. We were taught to say yes to every request, to be available at every hour, and to carry responsibilities that were never ours. Over time, that habit exhausts the mind, drains the body, and quiets the spirit.
