Any other way of being than taking full responsibility for YOUR life is a prison. Simple.
Knowing what it is your responsibility and what’s not is key to being an adult and having grownup interactions.
Never, ever let anyone use anything about you to treat you like a doormat. That’s not the way.
They will try.
Don’t fall for it.
Of course, remember, you are responsible for the consequences of your actions.
Create a life of joy, wins and freedom!
