What’s something you learned too late in life that changed everything?

That it is okay to have boundaries and to protect your peace. I spent so much of my life helping people, bending over backwards, and working myself to death and realizing that no one has ever gone out of their way to do that for me. Don't get me wrong I still do help people I'm just selective about who I help now. Another thing I've learned that ties into the first thing I wrote is " don't give more than you can lose" I always thought that saying meant financially. It literally took me years to realize it encompasses everything. Mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially. It has helped me a lot in my life

If you allow people to take advantage of you, many will, because not everyone respects boundaries unless they’re clearly set.
