Setting Boundaries


    Living in this world can be tough. Most of the time we don't get what we want. People don't always treat us the way we want to be treated. We all have different experiences, we tend to have different personalities. Sometimes you get into a point where you feel like you need to change your perception on someone, specially if that person is constantly giving you uncomfortable feelings, showing signs of dishonesty and throwing empty promises every now and then. 

    If a person keeps giving you a shady behavior, then it's time to ring the alarm. Be vigilant and always trust your instinct. There are a lot of people out there who are wrapped up with their own fantasies, who actually believes in their own lies and lure you away from reality. Some of them may constantly deceive others with illusions just to get an ego stroke. 

    When dishonesty becomes their lifestyle, there is nothing much you can do with it. A bad behavior is a bad behavior. If you think that there is no basis of truth on that  behavior then there's no sense normalizing it. Better spend your energy elsewhere, to people whom you can trust and is worth your time. Don't let somebody walk all over you and take advantage of you. You have limits to what you can put up with.

    How long does it take you to realize that things isn't working for you. If you think that you are already selling yourself short, don't hold on to it. Cut yourself free. Step away from the source of stress. Don't be afraid to press the eject button. You can't sit around and wait for people to change. Transforming another person is not your responsibility. They will change if they want to but not on your own terms.

    Get real, be authentic even if others are not. Stick with your values and live with your own set of rules and boundaries. Love yourself more. And most of  all trust your judgement.
