If we want to be happy, we<br>certainly need to have self-respect, and this can only<br>come when we have strong and healthy boundaries.<br>Action is now required. Simply having the concept<br>of healthy boundaries is no good at all, we must<br>enforce them until the enforcement becomes a<br>habit. Otherwise, we will just be seen as \u2018a person of<br>strong opinions, weakly held.\u2019 And that is not far<br>from being a doormat. Am I now ready to practice<br>enforcing healthy boundaries?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-801f9b43284ecc7a8ae402bd7b520571\"><strong><br>Our boundaries have been established in the past<br>from a variety of sources \u2013 life events, other people\u2019s<br>behaviour and how we feel about ourselves.<br>Sometimes our emotional wounds lead us to<br>compromise on boundaries. Thus, if we have<br>experienced childhood rejection, our fear of<br>abandonment may have led us to allow<br>manipulation in relationships where love is used as a<br>weapon, to be given or withdrawn at will. Do I see<br>this in myself? I ask for the wisdom to see where my<br>damaged emotions have led me to compromise on<br>boundaries.
