1140 || boundary setting paradox || patreon

•

 Setting boundaries is crucial for maintaining healthy relationships and preserving one's well-being. Dr. Brené Brown, a research professor and author, emphasizes the importance of boundaries, stating, "Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves even when we risk disappointing others." By establishing clear boundaries, individuals can communicate their needs and expectations effectively, reducing the likelihood of resentment and conflict.


One example of the importance of setting boundaries can be seen in the workplace. Research conducted by the American Psychological Association found that employees who have difficulty setting boundaries with their colleagues are more likely to experience higher levels of stress and job dissatisfaction. Employers play a crucial role in fostering a culture that values work-life balance and respects employees' boundaries.


In personal relationships, boundaries are essential for maintaining mutual respect and understanding. Dr. Henry Cloud, a clinical psychologist, observes, "Boundaries define us. They define what is me and what is not me." When individuals fail to assert their boundaries, they may find themselves in one-sided relationships where their needs are consistently overlooked. This imbalance can lead to feelings of resentment and frustration.

  • 1158 || ban the billionaires

    You cannot earn a billion dollars. You can take a billion dollars, but you can't make it. Every billionaire has built their "empire" off of the exploitation of laborers. UNFUN FACTS:Jeff Bezos could give every single one of his 876,000 employees a $105,000 bonus and he’d still be as rich as he was at the start of the pandemic.The median U.S. salary is $34,612, but even if you tripled that and saved every penny for a lifetime, you still wouldn’t accumulate anywhere close to a billion dollars.Jeff Bezos makes $149,353.12 EVERY SINGLE MINUTE. Every 14 minutes, Elon Musk earns as much as an average american earns in their entire lifetime. Full time employees at Walmart + Amazon are the biggest utilizers of federal food programs like SNAP and Welfare. While the CEO's make more money than is possible to spend in a lifetime. Something's gotta give.
