To achieve these, having good boundaries is essential. It means instead of shutting down or firing up, you use your emotional reaction as a signal that a boundary needs to be set. It\u2019s crazy isn\u2019t it, when we give our power away we allow others to rob us of our precious time, energy, even our peace of mind. This is where choice prevails. \u00a0If you hadn\u2019t already noticed, there are whole crowds of disconnected people punching it out loudly or quietly, and triumphing over one another with mediocre, puny, unpleasant jibes. They are not even being close to who they want to be. Truth is by \u2018playing the game\u2019 you\u2019re throwing fuel on their fire. Taking a stand in this area has less to do with the specific situation you\u2019re facing and more to do with raising your feeling of self-worth.
