Boundaries are a sign of self-respect.
| | An important realization: People don't treat you based on who you are., they treat you based on what you tolerate. | That may sound harsh, but it's true. | Every time you stay silent when something doesn't sit right… | Every time you say yes when you meant no… | Every time you minimize what you need, just to keep the peace… | You're teaching the people around you exactly how to treat you. | Not because they're cruel. | But because you've shown them what's allowed. | And the standard you enforce becomes the expectation they follow. Or, ahem, lack of a standard. | This is where quiet power begins…not in domination, but in self-respect. | Because when you respect yourself deeply and consistently, your presence shifts. | Your tone sharpens. | Your energy becomes more focused. | And people respond to that, even if they don't know why. | Here's your challenge this week: | Audit your boundaries. | Where are you over-explaining? | Where are you over-extending? | Where are you hoping someone will "just understand," when you haven't made your expectations clear? | Don't wait to be treated better. | Lead with clarity. | Speak with calm. | Stand with consistency. | Because once you show people what you no longer tolerate, they only have two choices: | Adjust… or disappear. | Either way, you win. | -James Michael Sama | P.S.: If you're looking for a private advisor to help you develop these qualities, let's talk. | |
