Life would be so much better and simpler if only we spoke our truth and stood our ground. That takes a level of self-awareness and confidence that, sadly, most of us don’t possess even though we move around like we do.

Just assume people are clueless about you and how you want to be treated. That means you have to teach them how to handle you. Make it plain and clear so that when they go against what you've taught them, they won't act surprised when you enforce a boundary and they suffer the consequence.

Also, someone who disregards what tour boundaries is letting you know they really don't respect or care about you. Period. You may want to dress it up as something else. But, you are the guru of you. Next to God, you know you best (at least I hope you do). Therefore, what you say in your world goes. Others get to take it or leave it.

P.S. This only works of you are true to yourself first and not just placating to what you think you should be doing or who you should be. Self-awareness will always be where your abundant living starts.
