Personal Boundaries versus the Wall...!

Personal boundaries allows the 'real you' to mark a territory between yourself, others and the world, one of privacy, self-respect and love. They are decided upon and set, by you, to honour the 'authentic you'.
Personal boundaries make statements telling others your truth saying, 'Hey this is my limit! This is what I believe in and what is right for me!'
Walls are built through loneliness, fear, hurt, pain, mistrust and all those emotions and feelings that bury the 'authentic you'.
Walls STOP you from experiencing and living to the full potential of who you are as they divide and remove you further away each day from celebrating the 'real' you!
Walls separate, imprison and shut off but boundaries are yardsticks with views of the world as seen by your unique self .
Just as boundaries mark where... the oceans meet the shore, mountains meet the plains and where rivers meet the sea, your boundaries give you freedom to move, 'be' and see, to 'the beyond'. Whereas... walls are 'facades of life', built in self-preservation and as a substitute for 'safety' which will, ultimately, limit your freedom and diminish the 'self'. Therefore, that which was built to keep hurt, pain and the fear at bay, and originally intended for protection, can only perpetuate those negative emotions through loneliness and a sense of abandonment!
Have you built a wall and are living behind it today?
If the answer is yes... decide, right now, to take a chance to make a change - make a choice to break free from living behind that wall!
Walls are not built in an instant but instead, overtime brick-by-brick and layer-by-layer, so it will take time, self-belief and a process of demolition to be free from the rubble. But let the decision that you make today be a catalyst for stepping out on a new journey, one of smashing down the wall and replacing it with personal boundaries, and start to walk free towards an 'authentic self'!
What will you choose today...?
You were born great!
You were born authentic!
You were born with everything you need because you are you!
You are an individual!
You are unique and nobody else can be you so… believe in yourself and take those steps forwards!
 Go out there and make your journey of life… your own!
