Bestes Zitat aus Boundaries Without Guilt

Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others. When you say yes but mean no, you're not being honest; you're protecting the other person from disappointment while robbing them of the chance to respect your authentic needs.
