Boundaries

Sometimes, life and people seem to push and push. Because we're so used to pain, we may tell ourselves it doesn't hurt...we may tell ourselves there is something wrong with us.

There is nothing wrong with us. Life is pushing and hurting to get our attention. Sometimes, the pain and pushing are pointing us toward a lesson... The issue is boundaries.

If something or somebody is pushing us to our limits, that's exactly what's happening: we're pushed to our limits. We can be grateful for the lesson that's here to help us explore and set our boundaries.

Melody Beattie- "The Language of Letting Go"

The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur
when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled.
For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort,
that we are likely to step out of our ruts
and start searching for different ways
or truer answers.
~ M. Scott Peck ~
