Setting boundaries-to please and displease people.

"It is better to displease people with knowing what is right than to temporary please them with what we know is wrong" In work we need to set limitations on how we could deal with people around us. There were comes a time they need to ask favor from us however if we knew this favor is wrong and we can't consider they might get displeased with us. Rather than thinking what they might say against us and sway from the normal procedures, it is better to stay on track and let them think bad against you for the fact that you just apply what is right. At the end of the day, it is your attitude - RIGHT ATTITUDE that defines your performance.

"It is better to displease people with knowing what is right than to temporary please them with what we know is wrong" - A tough conversation is temporary, but misleading someone can have longterm negative effects. I love the idea of setting boundaries early, even when it's tough!

I try and set boundaries with every new person I meet. That way I'm not abruptly changing my availability or openness to someone later down the line.

I'll admit I spend way to much energy trying to please others. It's exhausting

In general, I try and listen to my gut and try not to feel like I need to say yes to avoid hurting someone’s feelings. When I say no, I do always try to offer an alternative especially when I don't necessarily think I'm the right person for the job.
