Yes, I struggled with this one for years... steadily stripping away each layer of over-giving, over-responsibility, self-erasure... and while life got smaller, it also got a lot richer. ;)
100% This is what I see as well. The problem with understanding and therefore forgiving situations and actions in our lives that are not based on Truth is that we think we have to stay in these situations and keep accepting behavior that is not respectful. That is where we fail ourselves. So, a big Yes to saying No more often and reorienting our lives toward respectful and honest and reflective relationships!
Yes thank you for giving voice to this. Being true to ourselves takes a lot of inner listening.
