I like geography best, he said, because your mountains & rivers know the secret. Pay no attention to boundaries. ~ Brian Andreas
Personal Boundaries quotes by Brian Andreas
Living without personal boundaries is like trying to hold my breath and gasp for air, at the same time, it doesn't work. My introverted nature requires solitary sanctuary, to breathe. My internal batteries need time to recharge if i am to give from a place of abundance. ~ Jaeda DeWalt
Personal Boundaries quotes by Jaeda DeWalt
Unhealthy families discourage individual expression. Everyone must conform to the thoughts and actions of the toxic parents. They promote fusion, a blurring of personal boundaries, a welding together of family members. On an unconscious level, it is hard for family members to know where one ends and another begins. In their efforts to be close, they often suffocate one another's individuality. ~ Susan Forward
Personal Boundaries quotes by Susan Forward
They didn't become great guys by choosing the easy road. So meeting a woman who has high standards only makes them more attracted to her. They love women who have strong personal boundaries and are confident enough to know what they want and demand it. High-quality men always respect women who do not tolerate manipulative games and have solid standards. Those standards need to be realistic, of course. Some women have impossible standards. Both ~ Brian Keephimattracted
Personal Boundaries quotes by Brian Keephimattracted
We don't like to be intimate alone. Some couples take this one step further, confusing intimacy with control. What passes for care is actually convert surveillance. ..
When the impulse to share becomes obligatory, when personal boundaries are no longer respected, when only the shared space of togetherness is acknowledged and private space is denied, fusion replaces intimacy and possession co-opts love. ~ Esther Perel
Personal Boundaries quotes by Esther Perel
This medical view of an ideal male who was insulated from pathogens was inextricably bound up with a parallel discourse about the maintenance of strong ego boundaries, a psychic investment in one's bodily peripheries that effected a gradual closing (and, one might say, a closing off) of the male body, at once from the outer world of dangerous stimuli and from the inner world of threatening passions. Without a doubt, as Norbert Elias has shown, in the western world both men and women experienced a shift in their sense of personal boundaries during the early modern era where, amid changing social circumstances, rising thresholds of repugnance and shame were manifested among the upper-classes as a growing aversion to their own bodily functions and to the bodies of others. The changes wrought by new developments in table manners and etiquette were extended by the introduction of hygienic practices in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that endeavored to maximise the order and cleanliness of the social body while futher compartmentalising the bourgeois self as a discrete bodily unit. ~ Christopher Forth
Personal Boundaries quotes by Christopher Forth
I liked how she never offered any physical comfort. I appreciate people who have a healthy respect for personal boundaries. Our culture is too touchy-feely; everyone wants a hug these days. But Dr. Cooper just sat and was present. ~ Lisa Unger
Personal Boundaries quotes by Lisa Unger
Confront your inadequacies and push your personal boundaries: It's the surest way to grow, improve and expand the scope of your influence. ~ John C. Maxwell
Personal Boundaries quotes by John C. Maxwell
Manipulating or controlling others through the use of one's illness or suffering,for example,was-and remains-extremely effective for people who find they cannot be direct in their interactions,Who argues with someone who is in pain? And if pain is the only power a person has,health is not an attractive replacement. It was apparent to me that becoming healthy represented more than just getting over an illness. Health represented a complex progression into a state of personal empowerment in which one had to move from a condition of vulnerability to one of invincibility,from victim to victor,from silent bystander to aggressive defender of personal boundaries.Completing this race to the finish was a yeoman's task if ever there was one.Indeed,in opening the psyche and soul to the healing process,we had expanded the journey of wellness into one of personal transformation.

Personal Boundaries quotes by Caroline Myss
I try to avoid teaming up with goddesses who eat roadkill. It's one of my personal boundaries. ~ Rick Riordan
Personal Boundaries quotes by Rick Riordan
What? Do rolly-pollys not have basic manners or any personal boundaries? ~ Jennifer L. Armentrout
Personal Boundaries quotes by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Poisonous relationships cloud your vision. I wasted a lot of time adjusting my personal boundaries and justifying disrespect when it would have been so much easier (and a lot less painful) to simply adjust my life to their absence. ~ Steve Maraboli
Personal Boundaries quotes by Steve Maraboli
Anger is an integrity-producing response to the invasion of your personal boundaries. ~ Gabrielle Roth
Personal Boundaries quotes by Gabrielle Roth
However, ana al-haqq as it stands has raised a few literary questions as well and, within the tradition of mystic poetry, the attitude preserved in Hallaj's expression has given rise to mixed reactions regarding its content. It is held that it is an exaggeration of subjective experience, and ana - the personal "I" - shows leanings toward megalomania and egotism. It is the personal "I" which overshadows al-haqq, and thereby invites total attention to itself. In fact, the personal "I" absorbs al-haqq, and reaches out to the romantic cult of the egostistical sublime. In this context, the truth tends to become subjective and, therefore, relative, and in its social implications it shows the possibility of numerous diversions. Extreme individualism, in contrast to institutionalism, is also held to be related to ana al-haqq. The personal "I" is supposed to be potentionally explosive and destructive for values of the Establishment. A.J. Arberry has summed up the position by saying that Hallaj had dared to declare that his direct awareness of God was for him a clearer proof than both revelation and reason. ~ Gilani Kamran
Personal Boundaries quotes by Gilani Kamran
When we do not know our true identity as powerful creators, we are susceptible to being used and manipulated. ~ Bryant McGill
Personal Boundaries quotes by Bryant McGill
Success in training the boy depends largely on the Scoutmaster's own personal example. ~ Robert Baden-Powell
Personal Boundaries quotes by Robert Baden-Powell
There was a very famous leader in Atlanta who thought that education was appropriate, but on the whole, the view was, 'If you're going to keep people down, you have to keep them ignorant. And so, nothing personal, but we just don't want to recognize the attributes that man of learning would bring. Quite threatening, those would be.' ~ David Levering Lewis
Personal Boundaries quotes by David Levering Lewis
The sober people of America are weary of the fluctuating policy which has directed the public councils. They have seen with regret and indignation that sudden changes and legislative interferences, in cases affecting personal rights, become jobs in the hands of enterprising and influential speculators, and snares to the more-industrious and less informed part of the community. They have seen, too, that one legislative interference is but the first link of a long chain of repetitions, every subsequent interference being naturally produced by the effects of the preceding. ~ James Madison
Personal Boundaries quotes by James Madison
I wondered, Why would you run with someone else? Why would you choose to share this intense, solitary activity, mile after mile, in sunshine and rain, alone with your thoughts, every step making you leaner, firmer, every mile taking you farther from the lazy, lethargic world? Like writing and eating, I couldn't stand to share my running. It was such a personal thing: a therapeutic punishment, a way to push, push, push myself. ~ Emma Woolf
Personal Boundaries quotes by Emma Woolf
Sexism occurs when we assume that some people are less valid or natural than others because of their sex, gender, or sexuality; it occurs when we project our own expectations and assumptions about sex, gender, and sexuality onto other people, and police their behaviors accordingly; it occurs when we reduce another person to their sex, gender, or sexuality rather than seeing them as a whole, legitimate person. That is sexism. And a person is a legitimate feminist when they have made a commitment to challenging sexist double standards wherever and whenever they arise. An individual's personal style, mannerisms, identity, consensual sexual partners, and live choices simply shouldn't factor into it. ~ Julia Serano
Personal Boundaries quotes by Julia Serano
If you're offended by my boundaries, then you're probably one of the reasons I need them. ~ Steve Maraboli
Personal Boundaries quotes by Steve Maraboli
Our personal identities are socially situated. We are where we live, eat, work, and make love. [ ... ]
Our sense of identity is in large measure conferred on us by others in the ways they treat or mistreat us, recognize or ignore us, praise us or punish us. Some people make us timid and shy; others elicit our sex appeal and dominance. In some groups we are made leaders, while in others we are reduced to being followers. We come to live up to or down to the expectations others have of us. The expectations of others often become self-fulfilling prophecies. Without realizing it, we often behave in ways that confirm the beliefs others have about us. Those subjective beliefs create new realities for us. We often become who other people think we are, in their eyes and in our behavior. ~ Philip G. Zimbardo
Personal Boundaries quotes by Philip G. Zimbardo
I think now that this obsession with identifying racism, which I saw so often among Somalis too, was really a comfort mechanism, to keep people from feeling personally inadequate and to externalize the causes of their unhappiness. ~ Ayaan Hirsi Ali
Personal Boundaries quotes by Ayaan Hirsi Ali
By today's standards King George III was a very mild tyrant indeed. He taxed his American colonists at a rate of only pennies per annum. His actual impact on their personal lives was trivial. He had arbitrary power over them in law and in principle but in fact it was seldom exercised. If you compare his rule with that of today's U.S. Government you have to wonder why we celebrate our independence.. ~ Joseph Sobran
Personal Boundaries quotes by Joseph Sobran
QUESTLOVE: How do you get that back? Does being downtrodden make us spiritual again?

WEST: I don't think it's just a matter of the material conditions; it's a matter of the choices that we make. Our ancestors could have chosen forms of spiritual suicide and spiritual blackout, but they decided not to, even in the midst of slavery, even in the midst of Jim Crow. Great-great grandma could have chosen to commit suicide. But she said no, her kids said no. The love said no. "I choose to be on the love train, even under slave-like conditions." That's a choice we make. All we have had as a people, historically - amid the levels of hatred, the social death of slavery, the civic death of Jim Crow, the psychological death of hating one's self, the spiritual death of giving up and selling out and caving in - all we have is a subversive memory, personal integrity, and courageous witness in the fight for justice. That's all we've got. You do away with the memory, and people can't hear the voice of a Glenn Jones or, my favorite, Gerald Levert. With no memory, you get very little artistic integrity, just a matter of stimulating people for the market, and then no creative witness. ~ Cornel West
Personal Boundaries quotes by Cornel West
Spiritually, there is a level that is the highest of all. This is the level of transcendence. When you transcend, you release personal attachments. No longer struck in old habits and conditioning, you ask for your highest awareness to enter the situation and find a solution. Transcending is more than simply letting go. In practical terms, several other steps are involved: You step back from the problem and acknowledge that there is more than one way to look at it. You give up your claim to know the truth already. You open yourself to new possibilities. You remove inner resistance to finding an answer; such resistance might come in the form of anger, resentment, envy, stubbornness, or insecurity. Finally, you invite the answer to unfold any way that it wants to, which means being alert to unexpected shifts and changes. ~ Deepak Chopra
Personal Boundaries quotes by Deepak Chopra
We, like lace, make up the very fabric of society, the tapestry of togetherness that consists of holes, but also of threads that tie us together until the end of time. The more we embrace our fragility and shared sufferings, the more boundaries we overcome, until the light can't help but pour on in. ~ Kayla Severson
Personal Boundaries quotes by Kayla Severson
I am extremely spiritual. I've not gone into this before because it's personal, but faith is the core of my life. ~ Oprah Winfrey
Personal Boundaries quotes by Oprah Winfrey
Boundaries represent awareness, knowing what the limits are and then respecting those limits. ~ David W. Earle
Personal Boundaries quotes by David W. Earle
I want my personal life to be personal. ~ Jeremy Renner
Personal Boundaries quotes by Jeremy Renner
Ego is the central figure of our personal history, based upon the past and looking into the future. Ego is the deepest dream of the Consciousness. ~ Frank M. Wanderer
Personal Boundaries quotes by Frank M. Wanderer
Recently I reviewed the history of many missionaries and found a powerful correlation between exceptional missionaries and mothers who chose to remain home, often at great financial and personal sacrifice ... They reflect honor to mothers who sacrificed to remain home for their children's benefit. ~ Richard G. Scott
Personal Boundaries quotes by Richard G. Scott
When people show you their boundaries ("I can't do this for you") you feel rejected ... part of your struggle is to set boundaries to your own love. Only when you are able to set your own boundaries will you be able to acknowledge, respect and even be grateful for the boundaries of others. ~ Henri J.M. Nouwen
Personal Boundaries quotes by Henri J.M. Nouwen
Carve-out a niche, craft a personal pitch, push-out content and your brand is enriched. ~ Ryan Lilly
Personal Boundaries quotes by Ryan Lilly
I always used to put on plays when I was younger for my family to watch, when I was 10 or something. I used to force older members of my family to watch the plays and younger members of my family to be characters in the plays - and my personal favorite was Batman. ~ Erin Richards
Personal Boundaries quotes by Erin Richards
Nature (and that includes us) is not made up of parts within wholes. It is made up of wholes within wholes. All boundaries, national boundaries included, are fundamentally arbitrary. We invent them and then, ironically, we find ourselves trapped within them. But ~ Peter M. Senge
Personal Boundaries quotes by Peter M. Senge
Tattoos are a road map of the bearer's personal journey. ~ Tami Hoag
Personal Boundaries quotes by Tami Hoag
This theory rapidly became an article of faith because it appealed to the factors that, according to John Kenneth Galbraith, most contribute to the formation of conventional wisdom: the ease with which an idea may be understood and the degree to which it affects our personal well-being. ~ Steven D. Levitt
Personal Boundaries quotes by Steven D. Levitt
Color is not a human or a personal reality; it is a political reality. ~ James Baldwin
Personal Boundaries quotes by James Baldwin
Be wary of the praise of men; don't let it pump you up unnecessarily and don't let it paralyze your progress ~ Bernard Kelvin Clive
Personal Boundaries quotes by Bernard Kelvin Clive
We all have struggle in our lives. We're all searching for personal freedom, whether we're in a bad place or trying to be true to ourselves. ~ Barbara Becker Holstein
Personal Boundaries quotes by Barbara Becker Holstein
While some guys get too bulky with muscles and others too ropey, Gray is like my own personal Goldilocks story come to life because he is just right, lean yet strong, cut yet smooth. ~ Kristen Callihan
Personal Boundaries quotes by Kristen Callihan
Don't worry about the ones who don't recognize your worth. Not everyone has an eye for talent. ~ April WIlliams
Personal Boundaries quotes by April WIlliams
But she had recently come to think that in such unhappy times
when the odds were so high against personal happiness
to find love was miraculous, and to fulfill it as best two people could was what really mattered. ~ Bernard Malamud
