The topic of boundaries has come up quite a bit in my personal life lately. It's always a hot topic in my professional life so that doesn’t even make a blip on the radar of life when I have those conversations. The other day I had someone say to me “You are so good at setting boundaries and keeping them.” It made me start thinking about how I got to this point.

How to be Honest- One of the biggest faults I see in people that they don’t want to admit is they are not honest. That doesn’t mean we flat out lie, we just downplay our response. Maybe that’s because we think others will judge us so we tell people things aren’t that important to us when they really are.

If we have no boundaries, it’s like the wild west up in our lives. It isn’t as cool as it sounds, trust me!

It’s not like Tombstone where the lawless people coming into our lives are taken care of by a group of attractive men with good hearts, quick hands, and good aim. In real life, we have to be our own saviors.
