BOUNDARIES ARE NOT TRAPS
Imagine a wild river, carving canyons through rocks, unstoppable and fierce, but without banks to guide its flow, that river will flood the whole valley, erode its own path, and lose itself in the chaos. Those banks are the boundaries that guide your path. They are not barriers that slow down your progress but gentle shores that guide your path, and channel your power toward the sea of opportunities, and growth.
Society will tell you that boundaries are cages, that they are selfish walls keeping you small. However, those boundaries are the architects of your liberation, the quiet guardians that let you roar without apology. When you don't have boundaries, you say yes to everything, and turn your calendar into a battlefield. You permit the things that do not serve you, and allow toxicity into your space, trapping yourself in what you believe is freedom.
You can't build the life that you desire by pleasing others, you can't become what you want to be, when all you want to do is make another person happy. You will be draining yourself, fetching water into a basket, or trying to create a furnace of fire in a bunch of wet firewood. Do not entertain what makes your heart sink, do not give others premium passes into your own palace, rather protect it with everything that you have.
Rise up, build your boundaries, draw the lines with bold strokes, not whispers, or faint lines. They are not chains, they are your springboards to freedom, they are the compass that points you true north. The boundaries that you set help you align with the universe, and bring you into a place of favour with nature and everything around you. Create that boundary, step beyond the lines of fear, honour your own destination, answer the call to your bright future.
To a better you, Kamikun John.
