If you wannabe my lover, you gotta:
Forget my past
Make it fast
Don't go wasting my precious time
Get your act together
Get with my friends
Give
Don't bug me
Listen carefully
Slam your body down and wind it all around
(Recognise the song?)
In the nineties we had boundaries. We knew what we wouldn't stand for.
But what about now?
This isn't about dating. It's bigger than that.
What are your boundaries for:
- The friends you see
- The people you hire
- The projects you start
- The events you attend
What's your list of rules for how you spend your time, cash and energy?
What are you happy to let slide and what will you refuse to put up with?
Boundaries have power. And you're not here to mess around.
Unless you state what you want (what you really, really want), you wind up living with what you don't.
Get intentional.
