Real Talk #10 - You Don’t Have to Be the Bigger Person—You Just Have to Be the Boundaried One

 


Ok, I'm going to mention Boundaries again. Because it warrants a revisit.

“Be the bigger person” is often code for “tolerate more than you should.”


Let’s retire that.

You don’t have to out-kind someone who disrespected you. You don’t have to prove your emotional maturity by staying silent. You don’t need to perform peace.

You just need boundaries.

Being the boundaried person means: I can care about myself enough to walk away. I can protect my peace without justifying it. I can speak the truth even if it makes you uncomfortable.

That’s power. That’s presence. That’s healing.

You’re not here to be a martyr. You’re here to be real.
