Knowing your boundaries is vital. People will not treat you by how good you are but how good they are.

People will treat you not as good as you are, but as good as they are.

Be careful what you tolerate. You are teaching people how to treat you.

Just because you’re a good person.. not all will appreciate you in the same way.

Some people can be evil. Oh yes. So how can they see and appreciate the good in you?

Some people won’t appreciate you for who you’re.. but for what they can get from you.

Some people won’t be loyal to you, but they will be loyal to their need of you.

I wish that we all appreciate each other and to be kind one to another.. but that’s not what reality is. If only..

That’s why establishing limits is so important. Not because you’re a selfish person, but because you love yourself the most. You should. You must respect yourself. That way you teach others how you want to be treated. Some will accept it, other will not, and that’s the point.

People don’t know when to stop, they don’t know your limits.. so you’re the one who needs to learn to say ‘No’.

That’s enough. Stop.

Boundaries serve to protect you and not to offend others. That’s why it’s important that you love yourself, first of all, and that you set boundaries from a place of love. Not from a place of ego = fear, anger, etc. Or current mood.

Knowing your boundaries is vital. People will not treat you by how good you are but how good they are.

You will never be at peace with yourself if you don’t listen to your boundaries. If you don’t listen to your boundaries, don’t expect others to do it. The same with respect, love, everything starts from ourselves.

This applies to any type of relationship, especially to romantic relationships. Boundaries must come from the palce of self ove and must be vocalized cleary. And then also, to respect each other’s boundaries.

Communicate always. ABOUT EVERYTHING! Especially when you feel that you are not respected.

Don’t expect others to read your mind or feelings. Do not suppress your feelings, but vocalize them. Let the communication always be focused on the solution and not on the battle of egos.

Which leads me to the next point, when you keep your feelings to yourself. You decide to tolerate and keep quiet even though you don’t feel well, because that way you think you’re keeping the peace. In fact, you achieve exactly the opposite. You start a war inside yourself.

So something about pleasing.. don’t think you’re a good person if you try to please others at the cost of your health. Don’t think that you’re a good person if you try to please everyone, if you give more than you can.. no no, that’s not what will make you a good person.

Living with integrity will.

Depending on when you’re reading this, I wish you either a beautiful day or a good night, you beautiful soul! 🙏💙
Love and namaste,

Irina

So, let me introduce myself. My name is Irina Vujaklija and I was born in Belgrade on 31 January 1979. Who am I? Love. I know, you will roll your eyes.. But that is how it is. Discovering my true self wasn’t an easy process. Constantly working on myself, learning by seeking answers to many questions, I have managed to overcome very complicated life situations. Among other things, my severe motorcycle accident in 2004. A life altering moment in just one second.
