One of the best ways to increase our chances of being happy is to identify and set personal boundaries. One question to ask ourselves is, who is setting my boundaries. The answer may not be obvious but it may be a parent. It could be siblings or friends. It could be irrelevant and false beliefs. When we let other people tell us what to do and when to do it, we lose our sense of personal freedom and along with it any chance of happiness. If we examine our lives we may discover that our lives are guided by beliefs others have passed on to us that are no longer relevant. It’s good to ask ourselves, “why am I doing this?” When we can determine this is who I am and who I want to be, this is not who I am and others want me to be” our boundaries begin to fall in place.
