Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life
I read this book in November/December 2015. It really helped me re-focus my energy on what's most important to me, and to take back control of my life. Setting boundaries is never easy, or fun, but it changed my attitude and approach to every aspect of my life and I highly recommend it for anyone who has trouble saying “no”, or anyone who has trouble being told “no”.
"God's plan for us is to be loved enough by him and others, to not feel isolated — even when we're alone."
― Henry Cloud, John Townsend - Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life
"Boundaries are a “litmus test” for the quality of our relationships. Those people in our lives who can respect our boundaries will love our wills, our opinions, our separateness. Those who can't respect our boundaries are telling us they don't love our no. They only love our yes, our compliance."
― Henry Cloud, John Townsend - Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life
"The saddest people on earth are those who end their days with no relationships in which they are truly known and truly loved."
― Henry Cloud, John Townsend - Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life
"Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part."
