Between being loved by all or respected by yourself. There are people who spend years trying to please everyone who crosses their path. They say yes when they mean no.
They carry problems that don't belong to them.
They allow abuse for fear of disappointing.
And little by little they end up becoming everyone's support, while no one cares about them.
Kindness is a virtue.
The submission is not.
Because helping others is noble.
But sacrificing your dignity to gain acceptance is too high of a cost.
Not everyone who walks away from you is a loss.
Sometimes it's the consequences of setting limits.
And boundaries have an important function:
Show who valued you for who you are and who only valued you for what they could get from you.
You were not born to carry the expectations of everyone on your shoulders.
You were born to live with integrity.
And he who learns to respect himself ceases to need the approval of those who never respected him.
