Setting a boundary around yourself limits you.
Sometimes you set these boundaries for yourself and sometimes the people around\society sets it for you.
Some of these boxes are familiar – girl\employee\mother\outspoken\incompetent\housewife\retired\short-tempered\physical appearance\gay can be many more.
These descriptions would create a set image in your mind.You may relate to yourself or somebody you know well with one or more of these traits.It can either have a positive or a negative impact on your mind.
We humans are quick in placing people in such boxes and labeling them.
Like we have a box for others they would have one or more for us.It can be suffocating for us once we find out what people think about us.
If you feel you don’t fit there or don’t deserve to be there and it’s making you uncomfortable-first take control of the box and then shape it as per your desire.
Expand your thoughts\box and you will see there is life beyond that.Only when you step out you will notice there are directions printed outside the box and those would lead you to a better life or help you move on.To navigate on your life’s GPS getting out of the box is the key.
Do it for yourself and not to please others.What you do does not require anyone’s consent.
Do not box yourself.If you get boxed by somebody else’s thought just be true to yourself.If it’s right accept it and be happy.People around are just waiting with boxes ,kick the wrong one and hold your head high out of the right one.A confined identity is a miserable way to live.
Before you make a decision of living in the box forever,”PAUSE”.
Confront yourself and ask ,” Do these people matter to me more than myself”.
If not this box ,the society will find another box for you.
So first accept yourself,acknowledge your reality then be true to self and you would never need anybody’s approval to live.
When we are self-accepting we are able to embrace all facets of ourselves.
Love yourself -Strive to be original not perfect ❤️
