I wish I had learned these topics when I was in my 20’s. Setting boundaries is to make it clear that how you want to be treated. Those who can state their boundaries clearly are usually the ones who know themselves well and are very assertive, too. If they are articulate in communicating their “boundaries”, they are usually highly effective in every aspect of their lives.

For many of us who are still learning to build boundaries, the most challenging work is to understand ourselves well. Knowing oneself and clearly defining it is such a fundamental factor to set successful people apart from the rest.
