Reflection
Boundaries
Boundary is actually a way to stay in relationship, not a way to cut off a relationship.
— Esther Perel
सीमा वास्तव में रिश्ते में बने रहने का एक तरीका है, रिश्ते को खत्म करने का तरीका नहीं।
— एस्थर पेरेल
Why this matters:
We often view boundaries as walls, but they are more like doors. They define the terms under which we can safely and happily remain connected to others without losing ourselves.
यह क्यों मायने रखता है:
हम अक्सर सीमाओं को दीवारों के रूप में देखते हैं, लेकिन वे दरवाजों की तरह अधिक हैं। वे उन शर्तों को परिभाषित करते हैं जिनके तहत हम खुद को खोए बिना सुरक्षित और खुशी से दूसरों के साथ जुड़े रह सकते हैं।
