    The Power of 'No': Boundary Mastery

    Miglior citazione da The Power of 'No': Boundary Mastery

    “

    Boundaries aren't walls—they're more like property lines that show where you end and someone else begins. They aren't about controlling others; they're about taking responsibility for ourselves.
