A lot of times you don't realize how attainable the things you want can be because you are stuck in an environment that is not cohesive to those results. And that is not your fault. But it does not change the fact that the reality is exists. Placing yourself in the right environment will open you up to new opportunities and a new way of thinking. This should be your goal. Nothing you want is out of reach. But if you do not decide to make changes, nothing is going to change.

Don't tell people your boundaries. Show them.

If you tell someone they can't talk to you a certain way or do certain things, those are not boundaries. Boundaries are things we show. If you tell someone "if you do that again I am not going to speak to you" and you stay and continue to speak to them, that's not a boundary. Just words. Words that they now know means absolutely nothing and they can take advantage of.

You show people how to treat you.

You reinforce your boundaries with your actions. Unless you show someone with your actions that what they are doing is not okay, and you do not continue to allow it, they will keep doing it.
