Have you had situations when your inner guidance is screaming to you to take action and due to your ignorance the outcome backfires in your field? Have you ever dealt with people who take advantage of you and your good heart?

I admire people who speak their mind right there and then. I don’t mean those who blow up ready a fight, but those who precisely and calculatedly measure the situation and put their boundaries right away. After all, there are people who will go as far as you let them. Nobody else knows your boundaries but you. And nobody else can advocate them for you.

I know it all and yet I’ve felt into my traumatised child behaviour again. It’s interesting how just a few years in our upbringing can mark our life in such a profound way that can take us decades to arrange back to normal.

Lesson of the story? - don't leave your donkey in the mud, as they say in Bulgaria. Get clear on your own values and boundaries, and then draw the line for anyone who tries to cross them.
